Are you watching, Mr Schmidt?

Leinster left it late to pick up a bonus point win at home to Zebre this evening, with Sean Cronin crossing in the dying seconds to wrap up maximum points, and lifting the Blues up to third in the table. They trailed 8-3 at half-time after a dour opening 40 minutes, before they got off the mark when Dominic Ryan bundled himself over for their first try. However, the try was created by a moment of absolute magic from Luke Fitzgerald, taking a hard line from Ben Te'o, before breaking past six (yep, SIX) would-be tacklers to get Leinster into the redzone. Watch the moment in all it's glory. Fitzgerald even got in on the act, running into the corner for Leinster's third try with five minutes to play, with five-pointers from Jimmy Gopperth and Sean Cronin either side of it ensuring Leinster climb to third in the table. Certainly plenty for Joe Schmidt to think about ahead of next week's meeting with England. Hat-tip TG4 for supplying footage
