URC: Leinster 28 Edinburgh 20Luke McGrath is pleased that Leinster continue to find a way to win after they moved to second in the United Rugby Championship table with a bonus point success over Edinburgh at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. However, thanks to a hat-trick of tries from openside flanker Scott Penny, the eastern province executed their fifth second half turnaround in 2025/26. The way we were at half-time, everyone was quite calm,” McGrath remarked. “We came out in the second half and just delivered a bit more intent in our attack, which is really pleasing. This left Edinburgh 15-7 to the good heading into the second half, but Leinster very quickly got themselves back in the reckoning.
