Leinster edge interprovincial scrap with Connacht in BKT United Rugby Championship

Leinster edged an interprovincial slugfest against Connacht as Cormac Foley's early try saw them maintain their 100% start to the season.

Having run in eight tries in last weekend's thriller against the Sharks, just the one was required on a wet and windy night in Galway.

It came inside four minutes, Leinster scrum-half Foley taking Josh van der Flier’s pass following a trademark Leinster maul, and the scoreboard wasn’t troubled again for 73 error-strewn minutes as both teams failed to turn pressure into points.

A first start of the campaign for Leinster's Cormac Foley - and he's nabbed a first try to mark the occasion. Early lead for the visitors... #RTErugby #CONLEI
