Heaslip stars for Leinster - Irish Independent

27 April 2013 Leinster dethroned defending Amlin Challenge Cup champions Biarritz to maneuver within one get of their next European name in as numerous periods. Joe Schmidt's men went out comfortable 44-16 winners at a sold-out RDS, where in fact the domain may host Stade Francais in the ultimate on Might 17. Two tries from man-of-the-match Jamie Heaslip book-ended an first half, with Leinster's correct passing and finishing being the difference at the break. Dimitri Yachvili's next punishment in the 37th minute left Biarritz just 10-9 behind, limited to Leinster to dazzle in the Dublin sunlight with two late tries. Jonathan Sexton and Heaslip went over in a blockbusting three-minute burst, the former putting the conversions for a quick 24-9 period benefit. The sin-binning of Takudzwa Ngwenya, early in the second time, was another setback for Biarritz, who will lose out on Heineken Cup rugby next year. Isa Nacewa and Brian O'Driscoll added two more tries for the hosts, with Arnaud Heguy's convenience rating reducing the profit to 28 points.
