Script:

Leinster's European Champions Cup ambitions are back on track after a tight win over Harlequins at Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Ian Madigan opened the scoring and then Isaac Boss extended their lead on the half hour mark when he took advantage of a dominant scrum.

They went into the break 11 ahead as wayward kicking from Tim Swiel left left Harlequins without a point.

The young flyhalf eventually found his range early in the second half to put them on the board.

It seemed to spur on a comeback.

A dominating scrum laying the foundation for their rally, and when fullback Mike Brown cruised over unopposed, the conversion put the visitors to within a point at 11-10.

Swiel was on target again ten minutes later, giving the Londoners the lead for the first time.

But Leinster fought back and Madigan made no mistake when gifted his next attempt at the posts.

Another good kick restored a single point advantage.

And that's how it ended - 14-13 to the hosts.
