Leicester 15-23 Leinster
Gibson-Park and Sheehan score visitors’ tries
Harry Byrne’s goal-kicking proved the difference as error-strewn Leinster held off a determined Leicester to claim a 23-15 Investec Champions Cup victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
Each team scored two tries but three penalties and a conversion from Byrne were decisive as the bottom side Leicester’s European campaign continued to falter and they remain pointless after their opening two fixtures.
Jamison Gibson-Park and Dan Sheehan scored Leinster’s tries, with Sam Prendergast’s conversion ensuring that the spirited Tigers finished with nothing to show for their efforts.
