Leinster with a strong carry from the reset

Penalty for Leinster, they set up a lineout inside the opposition 22, pick and drive by the forwards and its the tighthead prop who goes over for his fifth try.

We're underway at the RDS Arena!

A very good evening from RDS and we are ready for this game between these two sides

Round 3 of the 2020/21 Guinness PRO14 season kicks off at the RDS Arena tonight as unbeaten Leinster take on winless Zebre in Dublin.

Both sides will have their strength in depth tested by international call-ups – their respective home countries go head-to-head in the Guinness Six Nations on Saturday – and Zebre travel to the Irish capital looking for their first ever victory over the reigning champions.

Leinster are the only side to have taken maximum points from their opening two matches and will see Friday’s contest as an opportunity to keep that run going.

Zebre, by contrast, remain without a point after defeats against Welsh duo Cardiff Blues and Dragons in the opening fortnight.
