Loose Leinster scrape by Connacht to extend winning run
By PA
United Rugby Championship leaders Leinster made it 10 wins from 10 in all competitions, but had to work hard for a 20-12 victory over Connacht at the Aviva Stadium.
Tries from Andrew Osborne and Charlie Tector gave Leinster a 14-0 half-time lead, although they should have made more of a yellow card for Connacht centre Shane Jennings.
After watching Ross Byrne kick a penalty, Connacht capitalised on Lee Barron’s sin-binning to make it a five-point game, with Oisin Dowling and Jennings both crossing.
Mack Hansen was growing in influence for the westerners, yet a scrappy final 20 minutes ended with Leinster fly-half Byrne clinching the result with a 79th-minute penalty.
With 13 changes from last week, Leo Cullen’s men applied early pressure. Connacht dug in defensively with Bundee Aki and Jennings coming up with crucial plays.
Nineteen minutes in, Byrne used a zippy move off what was a mostly unreliable Leinster lineout to send Osborne racing over. Byrne converted.
Jennings then saw yellow for a late tackle on Luke McGrath and Connacht’s midfield was opened up again. Barrett neatly slipped Tector through to score, with Byrne converting.
Connacht briefly gained momentum through the running of Paul Boyle and Josh Ioane, until the latter had to come off injured.
Darragh Murray’s ability to steal Leinster’s lineout ball was a big positive for the visitors, along with Shamus Hurley-Langton’s turnover wins.
Playing into the wind on the restart, Byrne pushed the margin out to 17 points but Connacht responded well.
Leinster’s repeated penalties landed replacement Barron in the sin bin in the 51st minute, and the resulting tap penalty led to Dowling burrowing over.
Hurley-Langton and Hansen provided further spark, and with Leinster increasingly narrow in defence, Jennings was sent in behind the posts. Forde’s conversion closed the gap to 17-12.
Connacht captain Cian Prendergast did brilliantly to hold up Barron, denying him a certain try on the 70-minute mark.
Jimmy O’Brien was then binned for taking Hansen out in the air to give the visitors hope, but it was Byrne who had the final say for the table toppers.

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
