**Leinster stretched their lead at the top of Conference A to five points with a 35-29 win at Dragons.** In the first half, a committed Dragons side made life difficult for the reigning champions, but two yellow cards in quick succession swiftly turned the game Leinster’s way. Peter Dooley, Josh Murphy, Scott Penny and Dan Sheehan scored Leinster’s tries. There was also a penalty try award, with Ross Byrne adding four conversions. Sam Davies kicked five penalties and two conversions for Dragons, with replacements Luke Baldwin and Josh Lewis crossing for their tries. The opening 15 minutes were quiet, with neither side threatening the try-line, and it therefore came as no surprise that the first points came via a kick - a well-struck 40-metre penalty from Davies.
