5000[23] of the Warrior Nation[24] made their way to Dublin to a very tight RDS Arena only to see Leinster take charge of the match in the second half and run out 34–12 winners.

The first match against Toulon seemed to sum up the Warriors' European experience over the season; good in parts but not consistent enough to win out.
