David Kearney was the star of the show as Leinster saw off Irish rivals Connacht with ease with a 30-8 win at The Greenyards.

The Irish province never looked in trouble as they made it back-to-back inter-provincial victories having seen off Ulster 30-13 on Monday.

Left-wing Kearney scored a try in either half – his first scores of the season – while Fergus McFadden and Niall Morris also got over the whitewash.

Connacht winger Eoin Griffin got a late consolation but having led just 8-3 at the interval Leinster were in impressive form after the interval to move to within touching distance of the Magners League top four.
