In fairness, who was going to call a 45-9 win over a Scarlets side that were coming into the game at the RDS with 12 wins from their previous 13 Guinness PRO12 encounters, including a victory at Thomond Park the week before?
Time of First Points
Correct predictions: 6%
Clearly not many of you were expecting the deadlock to be broken so early on Saturday, but it took just four minutes for Scarlets’ Dan Jones to put the Welsh side in front with a penalty.
Thankfully Luke McGrath was on hand a few minutes later to give Leinster a lead the province didn’t relinquish for the rest of the game.
Total Tries Scored
Correct predictions – 20%
It seems after some high-scoring encounters at the RDS Arena, FanScore players are starting to increase those total tries scored predictions.
All seven of the tries on Saturday were scored by Leo Cullen’s men, helping to the province to smash the PRO12 record for the total number of tries scored in a season.
The previous record was held by Cardiff Blues, who scored 73 tries in the 2003/04 season.
Leinster’s total currently stands at 76 with five games still to go…
