Harry Byrne kicks Leinster to Champions Cup victory at Leicester

Leicester 15-23 Leinster

Gibson-Park and Sheehan score visitors’ tries

Harry Byrne’s goal-kicking proved the difference as error-strewn Leinster held off a determined Leicester to claim a 23-15 Investec Champions Cup victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

Each team scored two tries but three penalties and a conversion from Byrne were decisive as the bottom side Leicester’s European campaign continued to falter and they remain pointless after their opening two fixtures.
