Take a look at some of the best photos from the friendly match against Northampton Saints.

Last weekend’s friendly match against Northampton Saints may have ended in defeat for Leinster, but there were plenty of positives to take away from a performance that saw Academy players Cian Kelleher, Dan Leavy and Cathal Marsh all get their names on the score sheet. There was also a try for Clontarf RFC’s Mick McGrath.

Leinster fought back from a 26-0 deficit to come within five points of the Saints, but a George North try close to the end dashed any hopes of a stunning comeback victory against a full-strength Northampton side. Read the match report
