Glasgow were rocking now and Leinster were soon across the line again as prop Clarkson powered over despite the attentions of a clutch of Warriors off the back of a scrum.

Sheehan added another try on the stroke of half-time, powering over behind a ruck following a line-out close to the line, to give the Irish side a 20-point advantage at the break.

The gap would have been wider had Prendergast been more accurate with the boot, but with Glasgow pinned back in their own half after the restart, the fly-half made no mistake after Osborne dived over for his second try near the posts.

Replacement fly-half Frawley added another try in the corner before weaving finishes from Dobie and Tuipulotu made the scoreline more respectable for the visitors.
