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.
