70'7-38 Try - Luke Fitzgerald , Leinster
69'Wow. Another brilliant team move from Leinster and they have scored a fifth. After being denied earlier it's Luke Fitzgerald who secures his hat-trick as he comes inside off his wing and goes across with a fine finish.
68'Substitute on - Glenn Dickson , Northampton Saints

68'7-33 Conversion - Stephen Myler , Northampton Saints
67'Yellow card - Michael Bent , Leinster
67'5-33 Try - Lee Dickson , Northampton Saints
66'Lee Dickson goes over from close range but it's a consolation for the Saints. Celebrates like it could be the start of a comeback but I think everyone in Franklin's Gardens knows that isn't the case.
65'Player substituted - Jack McGrath , Leinster
65'Substitute on - Michael Bent , Leinster

64'0-33 Conversion - Ian Madigan , Leinster
63'0-31 Try - Brian O'Driscoll , Leinster
62'And another for Leinster! Northampton's passing is frantic and wayward and eventually one from Lee Dickson is picked off by none other than O'Driscoll and he touches down under the posts unopposed.

55'Substitute on - Zane Kirchner , Leinster
55'Player substituted - Dave Kearney , Leinster
54'More quality play from Leinster and Ian Madigan should have added to his side's tally but he doesn't catch BOD's inside pass well and, after juggling the ball over the line, knocks it forward. Leinster playing some breathtaking rugby.
45'Leinster could - and should - have had their fifth try. Great run by Sean Cronin opens up the Saints but the hooker's offload to Jamie Heaslip is a mile forward and the TMO confirms a try cannot be awarded.
41'Substitute on - Christian Day , Northampton Saints
41'Player substituted - Sam Dickinson , Northampton Saints
41'+20-26 End of first half
40'0-26 Start of second half
38'0-26 Conversion - Ian Madigan , Leinster
37'0-24 Try - Eoin Reddan , Leinster
36'Leinster are just on fire today. Excellent work from Eoin Reddan, selling a dummy at a break and creating space for himself with a step inside to score under the posts. Bonus point already secured and it's not even half-time.
35'Substitute on - Tom Mercey , Northampton Saints
35'Player substituted - Gareth Denman , Northampton Saints
33'Substitute on - Gareth Denman , Northampton Saints

28'0-19 Conversion - Ian Madigan , Leinster
27'0-17 Try - Jamie Heaslip , Leinster
26'This is phenomenal from Leinster. Flowing, expansive rugby from the Pro12 champions leaves Saints all over the place and Rob Kearney finds some space and slips in Jamie Heaslip for a simple score. Northampton have no answers at the moment.
16'Two Saints scrums have already gone against the head. They've now lost one of their own line-out's. Northampton need to improve in all areas if they want anything from this match.
8'0-12 Try - Luke Fitzgerald , Leinster
7'Wonderful, wonderful start from Leinster. Great passage of play as the visitors go through the phases and O'Driscoll makes the most audacious of passes through his legs and Fitzgerald is able to cross for his second out wide. Northampton have the 'deer in the headlights' look about them already.
4'0-7 Conversion - Ian Madigan , Leinster
3'0-5 Try - Luke Fitzgerald , Leinster
2'Disastrous start for Northampton, who are caught napping by BOD grubber and Luke Fitzgerald goes over in the corner. Ken Pisi, playing out of position, looks like a weak link and Leinster exploited to the full there.
1'0-0 Start of first half
