Leinster make it six wins from six in the URC with a victory over Lions at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
It was a spirited effort from the Lions, who battled in the first half to bring the the deficit to within four points as the sides went in at the break.
However, the momentum swung in the Irish side's direction in the second half with captain Caelan Doris crashing over just before the hour mark. A penalty try in the last action of the game capped off the win for the hosts.

Leinster with a final lineout maul and, as they trundle towards the line, referee Craig Evans awards a penalty try for an infringement from the South African side as they struggle to cope with the powerful drive.
The hosts will be happy to end the game on a high following a game which resembled an arm wrestle at times.
Job done for Leo Cullen's men as the referee blows the final whistle.
