Berryman over the gainline and Zebre now on halfway. Leinster player not rolling away but nothing given. Ball spills out and ends up in touch just on halfway, Leinster LO to restart us

Leinster pinged for obstruction at the maul. Zebre penalty as Iannone kicks to touch. Huge amount of penalties here, really disrupting the flow of the game

Ball kicked downfield and Odiete's kick is charged down. Luckily for the visitors the ball bounces for them but Strauss does brilliantly at the ensuing ruck and wins the penalty over the ball. Madigan goes to touch

Leonard does well off scrappy ball at the LO and play now on Leinster 22 but Ratuvou knocks on

Tackler not releasing and Zebre have the penalty. Iannone to go down the line

Boss boxes off the base of the maul and Zebre look to run it back. Play on halfway

Quality kick from Iannone finds Kirchner missing. Wind playing a big role in any kicks. Leinster LO just outside their own 22 to come

Madigan gets us back underway and Zebre gather and kick long. Madigan looks to run it back. Knocked on at the base of the ruck and Zebre will have the scrum inside their own half

Poor standard affair here at the RDS but nonetheless, Leinster lead at the interval 8-0. If not for two weak attempts at the posts from Iannone, who himself has spent 10 minutes in the bin, Leinster would hold just a 2 point lead. As it stands, its Noel Reid's 5 pointer which sees them ahead of their vistors. Patience really the order of the day for Leinster if they are to secure that elusive bonus-point victory. By no means is this game over but one suspects if Leinster can keep hold of the ball and start to really compete upfront, then the scores will come late on. Stick with us for the next 40 of action folks.
