HOW THEY RATED

HUGO KEENAN 7

Started sluggishly and spurned a try chance although the pass was heavy. Made amends with nippy score.

JIMMY O’BRIEN 6

Denied an early try by staunch Toulouse defence, but made plenty of metres in mature display.

GARRY RINGROSE 7

Made good line breaks and won a turnover. Constant headache for the opposition with elusive running.

ROBBIE HENSHAW 8

Strong charge in build-up to Lowe’s first try. Made a dozen carries and tackles in a busy midfield display.

JAMES LOWE 8

Smart finish for first try after good work rate, huge relief kicks when needed and deserved his second.

JOHNNY SEXTON 9

A stellar performance. Good ruck speed gave him liberty to express himself. Excellent try assists.

JAMISON GIBSON-PARK 8

Red-faced after Dupont pilfered his grubber kick to score. Bounced back to bring requisite tempo.

ANDREW PORTER 6

Targeted by Toulouse at the setpiece in a front-row that was bullied at times.

RONAN KELLEHER 7

Good lineout dart started play for Lowe try, but also had scrum issues. Left for HIA after break.

TADHG FURLONG 8

Incredible 30-yard pass the highlight of a storming start before limping off after 17 minutes.

ROSS MOLONY 7

A valuable lineout option, showcasing good handling and made an important steal.

JAMES RYAN 6

Poor penalty concession cost Leinster in good territory before interval, but work-rate was immense.

CAELAN DORIS 8

Great break but poor pass to Keenan for a potential try. Did plenty in terms of carries, tackles and passes.

JOSH VAN DER FLIER 8

Used momentum well to go over for his try. Another carry paved way for Lowe to score. Leinster’s top tackler.

JACK CONAN 6

Shrugged off his knock-on under high ball to become a useful carry option, although with limited space.
