You don’t win anything in December, especially in the #championscup but you can lay down markers and #leinster did just that in Le Havre That was easily their best 80 of the season thus far Caelan Doris worthy POTM but big performances across the park Let’s see where we are in May in #dublin #R92vLEI

Utterly savage performance from Leinster in Le Havre. Bullying a Racing side who simply weren't at the races, they bested them in the scrum, lineout, and breakdown, and outplayed them defensively.

Taking 5-0 away against a SF team from last year is some marker to lay down. #R92vLEI #rugby @rugby

10-42, what a wonderful victory in France! Perfect start to this year's European campaign from a team that are playing very well together! #R92vLEI #ChampionsCup

Comfortable enough from Leinster, good set pieces, took chances we were given despite not being really tested on account of all the R92 penalties.

I'd be annoyed as a Racing fan after being asked to trek from Paris for that display tbh, that Russell/Wade combo too little too late.

For Leinster it's all about regathering and managing 6-day turnaround for the RDS on Friday. Happy out.

I remember when you feared going to France no matter who you were playing. Safe to say those days are over. Very dominant display from Leinster.

Good response from R92 but our D is up to the challenge so far, just about

#R92vLEI Ngati very solid

This is a good start to this season's campaign. Come on, Leinster! #R92vLEI #HeinekenCup

The third Leinster try was one of the nicest team tries I've seen. Just beautiful passing and moving. Gorgeous! #R92vLEI #ChampionsCup

J'allume ma tv et je vois le score de #R92vLEI, ça sent le poutrage ou bien ?

That Porter tackle looked like the first bit of serious defending we needed in that half. It was mostly about Racing's D, often excelllent, often penalised and we managed to build a lead on back of the latter. BP should be there for us but still need a good start after the break, I doubt Racing will give up

If you are watching #R92vLEI you could watch the second half of the Ireland 7s over the halftime break @rugby #rugby

That Ringrose try just before half time showed everything great about this Leinster team. Phenomenal.

Ah, here.

That offload was filth.

PURE filth.
