A line-out off the top, Robbie Henshaw bashing up the middle, Sean Cronin charging up the short side. It is a move that Leinster regularly use and one that regularly works as the Irish hooker stormed over the line to get his side on the scoreboard against Dragons today.
The Welsh side visited the RDS today expecting a Leinster backlash after last week's disappointing loss and it duly arrived in the form of Sean Cronin, moving like a train to take Jamison Gibson Park's pass.

Dragons had plenty of numbers in defence as they had elected not to contest the ruck, but it didn't matter as Cronin's pace and power meant they struggled to lay a hand on him.
