SEVEN second half tries, all converted by out half Richard Governey gave Leinster an impressive win in their final game of the Italian tour in Genoa last night.

The home side proved difficult opponents in the opening half Leinster going into the break with just an 11 point lead, 20-9.

However, in the second half the Leinster pack were in total control, providing a stream of good possession for their back line. Wing Denis Hickie scored twice as did number eight Kevin Spicer with Governey in top form with the placed ball.
