Leinster top of Champions Cup pool four after beating Sale

Leo Cullen's men were ten points down at one stage.

Leinster are top of Investec Champions Cup pool four after coming from behind to defeat Sale 37-27 at the RDS.

Leo Cullen’s men endured a difficult start. Connor Doherty's converted try gave Sale a 13-3 lead before Leinster hit back late in the opening period.

Josh van der Flier's try left them trailing 13-11 at the break and provided the springboard for a dominant second-half display.
