Leinster and Glasgow share points

Leinster and Glasgow Warriors both headed home from the RDS with three points after playing out a thrilling 34-34 Guinness Pro12 draw.

Warriors, sitting on top of the table, had the better of the first half, establishing a 27-7 half-time lead as Peter Horne converted tries by Stuart Hogg, Richie Vernon and Mark Bennett.

The defending champions turned the game around in the second half, however, and a brace from man of the match Isaac Boss and a fine solo effort from Jordi Murphy kept the game alive.

Ian Madigan converted all three scores and his 70th-minute penalty put the home side seven points clear only for Glasgow to hit back with seven minutes remaining, replacement Glenn Bryce touching down and Horne landing the conversion to level the scores.

Last May, the Warriors lost the Pro12 final at this ground, but were quickly off the mark when Hogg touched down on the left wing.

The lead was pushed to 10-0 when Horne punished a line-out infringement with a penalty although Leinster hit back as Shane Jennings and Jimmy Gopperth combined to put Fergus McFadden in, with his try converted by Madigan.

The next try came from Vernon after good work from Tommy Seymour and Horne's conversion re-established a 10-point lead for the visitors.

Their third converted try came six minutes before the break when Vernon burst on to Niko Matawalu's flat pass to crash over by the posts.

A long-range penalty from Bennett ensured the Warriors went in to half-time with a commanding lead, albeit it wasn't one they would hold on to.

After just 25 seconds of the second period, Leinster had a second try when Bryce's clearance kick was charged down and Boss won the race to touch down.

Madigan added a penalty to the conversion and the Warriors were struggling after Matawalu elbowed substitute Cian Healy off the ball and was sin-binned.

The Leinster response was quick and incisive, crossing twice in three minutes, flanker Murphy and scrum-half Boss with the scores as Leinster's strength in depth - bringing on Healy, Sean Cronin and Luke Fitzgerald - came to the fore.

Madigan converted both to put Leinster 31-27 ahead but there was more drama still to come.

After the Leinster fly-half put his side 34-27 up with 10 minutes to go, the Warriors stormed back to ensure a share of the spoils after Bryce crossed for the try and Horne held his nerve to convert.
