RUGBY
Leinster recorded their highest ever margin of victory in a European game after beating Montpellier at the RDS 89-7.
The home side ran in 13 tries overall with man of the match Josh van der Flier getting over the line twice.
It was their first game in over five weeks after a number of games were cancelled in the Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship.
James Ryan picked up a muscle strain in the Captains Run so Garry Ringrose led the side out with Josh Murphy brought into the starting 15.
Enjoyed that one! 😉🔵#LEIvMHR #HeinekenChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/VdThHPLmzu
