"Leinster finished strongly to hold off a spirited Harlequins and launch their latest quest for a fifth Champions Cup title with a bonus-point pool 3 win at Aviva Stadium. Jordan Larmour's double and tries from Garry Ringrose and Ciaran Frawley gave Leinster the bonus point before half-time in Dublin, but Luke Northmore and Cassius Cleaves scores gave Harlequins a glimmer of hope."
"Leinster - who scored 10 tries in a 62-0 thrashing when the sides met in the last 16 at Croke Park in April - opened their account in the fifth minute when Larmour barged his way over in the corner. But Harlequins, who were without rested England internationals Marcus Smith, Fin Baxter and Chandler Cunningham-South, responded strongly as Northmore touched down under the posts after sustained pressure from the visitors."
Leinster beat Harlequins 45-28 at Aviva Stadium, securing a bonus-point pool win and multiple try scorers. Jordan Larmour scored two tries while Garry Ringrose, Ciaran Frawley, Tommy O'Brien, Jack Conan and Jimmy O'Brien also crossed. Harlequins replied with scores from Luke Northmore, Cassius Cleaves and Oscar Beard plus a penalty try, earning a four-try bonus. Yellow cards to Jimmy O'Brien and Jarrod Evans affected momentum. Rieko Ioane created a try on his debut. Leinster's relentless attack and strong finishing ensured control despite a spirited Quins comeback.
