Ashton Gate

Bristol vs Leinster head to head

Leinster Rugby secured a convincing 35-12 victory over Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate. The match saw an early substitution for Bristol as MacGinty was replaced by Jenkins. Both teams faced disciplinary issues, with Kelleher and Deegan receiving yellow cards for Leinster, allowing Lahiff to score a try for Bristol shortly after. However, Leinster responded quickly, with Larmour crossing for a try just minutes later. Sam Prendergast was pivotal for Leinster, contributing significantly with his kicking and scoring multiple tries, including one in the second half. Bristol managed a late consolation try by Ibitoye, but it was not enough to change the outcome. Overall, Leinster's dominance in both territory and possession ensured their comfortable win.
