Considering Leinster's dominance in the second half, you'd have to wonder how much of a difference it would have made to the result had Tom Brown not butchered a glorious opportunity just before half-time at the RDS on Friday night.
If the Edinburgh winger had not dropped the ball with the line gaping, it certainly would have made a significant impact on the scoreline going into the break.
Oh, Tom Brown. Edinburgh in microcosm. All the grunt, all the graft, no finish. And what a sumptuous pass from Chris Dean.

Leinster were just 8-3 ahead - a try from Barry Daly being the difference - when Chris Dean broke the home side's defensive line and swung a wonderful pass out to Brown on the wing.
The 26-year-old, who just recently signed a new two-year deal with Edinburgh, managed to drop the ball. His disappointment with his mistake was immediately apparent. Though, it is possible he was also injured. He did not return for the second half as he was replaced by Blair Kinghorn.
Leinster would go on to win the game 39-10.
