Leinster have the ball in the Connacht 22 from kick-off. They're wanting to finish this one as swiftly as possible.

They have the penalty advantage as Paul Boyle strayed offside.

Right, 40 minutes to decide this one.

Away we go!

Leinster have won all seven of their United Rugby Championship matches to date and six of those have been with a bonus point.

Will they add to that in the second half? They're halfway there.

There goes the half-time whistle.

It's all going to plan for Leinster at half-time.

This time Leinster win the throw and look to build just inside the 22.

The clock is in the red, so any mistake will be the end of the half.

Nope, Leinster manage to turn the ball over through Soroka!

We're into the final 60 seconds of the half and it's sent deep into the Connacht half by Byrne.

Mack Hansen makes a superb break and Connacht are up to the 22!

Can they get on the board as we tick towards half-time.

Connacht are back to their full compliment as Shane Jennings returns to the field of play from his time in the bin.

Cathal Forde gets smashed by Alex Soroka is the middle of the park after catching the ball but he does really well to keep hold of the ball.

Ryan Baird is on for Max Deegan, who is going for a HIA.

Swift call by the Leinster medical team.

Connacht steal the line-out on their own line for the third time tonight!

They manage to clear and we're currently having some kick tennis between the sides.

We've just eight minutes to go until half-time, by the way.

After a slow start this has been a pretty good half of rugby to watch.

More bad news for Connacht as Josh Ioane is forced off with an injury and Santiago Cordero is on in his place.

Just when it looked like Connacht were building some momentum, it's turned over and Leinster send it deep into the 22.

It was a 50/22 and they'll have the throw.

So close from Dennis Buckley! The front row is through but he doesn't have the gas to get to the line.

He does really well to get the ball back as he was isolated, and Connacht have it once again.

Much better from the 14 men!

Paul Boyle makes some metres and Connacht have it just outside the 22!

That's clinical from Leinster.

Jennings will be in the bin for another seven minutes.

It's into the corner and Leinster will look to capitalise!
