Think back to the inaugural season of the United Rugby Championship - and that first month. It was all doom and gloom as South Africa's teams crawled through inglorious defeat after defeat. The Stormers ended up winning the title. It can happen again, writes @mark_keohane.β¦ https://t.co/QddFxBnKSA

A convincing bonus-point victory for Leinster down at Rodney Parade. #DRAvLEI | #URC https://t.co/yMcBwOxLJl
F-T: Dragons 10, Leinster 33. Five tries to one in favour of Leinster who shoot up to second in the @URCOfficial table as a result of this bonus point win. The Dragons had Wales back row forward Taine Basham red carded for an elbow to the head of Ross Byrne.
The Dragons are now down to 13 men, with a red card for Taine Basham followed by a yellow for Matthew Screech. Both for head contact. Leinster lead 26-10 with ten minutes to go.

H-T: Dragons 3, Leinster 14. A pretty close contest for much of the half, but then Leinster produced one of their intricate tap penalty moves just before the break enabling prop Thomas Clarkson to add to hooker Dan Sheehan's earlier lineout drive score.
