Byrne gets us back underway in the second half
The last try from Leinster ends the half. Leinster struggle to gain any sort of momentum in the beginning of the game as some unforced errors cause them to slow down their game. They finally get their breath back as they score some good tries in quick succession. Edinburgh aren't playing extremely badly despite the scoreboard and have been defending relatively well for certain parts of the match. But it's their inconsistency in this regard that has caught them out. Edinburgh will need to get some points on the board early in the second half if they want to stay in the game!
