Leinster have extended their lead at the top of the United Rugby Championship.

That's after a 45-8 win over Connacht at the Sportsground.

The home side played the majority of the game with 14 men after an early red card for Tom Daly.

That result means Leinster are 5 points clear of Ulster in second.

The Northern province picked up a losing bonus point in their 23-20 loss to the Stormers in South Africa.
