Leinster A went some way to undoing the damage caused by their senior colleagues' inept performance against Ulster on Friday, by handing the touring Moroccans a five try beating at Donnybrook on Saturday.

While the performance was nothing to write home about, the effect of full-back Gordan D'arcy, centre Brian O'Driscoll and second row, Leo Cullen, will have greatly impressed the selectors. Indeed, it was O'Driscoll who got Leinster off the mark in the 10th minute and Cullen, who finished off some good work by O'Driscoll in the 37th minute, who scored two of Leinster's three first half tries.

Scrum-half Ciaran Scally showed his power to make the best of number eight, Colm McEntee's good approach work for the other try that helped Leinster to a 19-0 half-time lead.
