KICK OFF: Underway at the RDS.

TRY FOR LEINSTER! Leinster 5-0 Benetton (Ringrose, 4′)

Leinster work it through the phases off a lineout and after some quick hands, Ringrose crosses to score. Sexton misses the conversion from the left on the near side.

TRY FOR BENETTON! Leinster 5-7 Benetton (Budd, 10′)

Super response from Treviso as they kick a penalty to touch and then turn their lineout maul into a try, Budd wrestling his way over. Keatley converts and Benetton lead!

TRY FOR LEINSTER! Leinster 12-7 Benetton (Ringrose, 15′)

A second for Ringrose, who crashes over from close range following a big carry from Toner in the build-up. Sexton converts.

TRY FOR LEINSTER! Leinster 19-7 Benetton (Kelleher, 31′)

Kelleher picks from the base of a ruck and, after shaping to pass to Van der Flier, decides to do it himself and crashes over. That’s a try on his European debut! Sexton converts.

HALF TIME: Leinster 19-7 Benetton

TRY FOR LEINSTER! Leinster 26-7 Benetton (Sexton, 43′)

Welcome back, Johnny Sexton, and he seals the bonus point for Leinster. Benetton had him wrapped up in a tackle but he wriggles free and plays a lovely one-two with Van der Flier who unselfishly gives the return pass to allow Sexton to touch down under the posts. Converted.

TRY FOR BENETTON! Leinster 26-14 Benetton (Faiva, 51′)

Benetton aren’t giving up without a fight. Faiva evades Ruddock’s tackle, and van der Flier can’t get there in time to stop the Benetton hooker from scoring his side’s second. Keatley converts.

TRY FOR LEINSTER! Leinster 33-14 Benetton (Ringrose, 68′)

Hat-trick for Garry Ringrose, and you’d imagine that’s any chance of a Benetton losing bonus point gone. James Ryan and Michael Bent carry to bring Leinster close to the line, and then Ringrose slips through the gap to score his third. Ross Byrne converts.

TRY FOR BENETTON! Leinster 33-19 Benetton (Sperandio, 79′)

To their credit, Benetton haven’t given up. Hayward plays the final pass to Sperandio who goes over in the corner. Conversion missed.

FULL TIME: Leinster 33-19 Benetton
