Leinster progress to last-16 after crushing Gloucester

Leinster hammered Gloucester 49-14 at Kingsholm to advance to the Heineken Champions Cup last-16 round.

The four-time European champions secured a bonus-point by half-time through tries from Jordan Larmour, Michael Ala'alatoa, Jamie Osborne and Caelan Doris.

Ross Byrne converted all four scores. Gloucester claimed two penalty tries from collapsed mauls, in reality they were no match for awesome Leinster.
