Rob Kearney 8

His try was simple but deserved it for his endless running and breaks.

Isa Nacewa 8.5

Kicking was solid but his ferocious tackling really stood out.

Brian O'Driscoll 7.5

For a marked man, there's still always the moments of magic.

Gordon D'Arcy 9

Looked the most likely to open up a congested midfield throughout.

Luke Fitzgerald 8

Just the ball in his hands gave the French giants plenty to worry about.

Jonathan Sexton 8

Even without his kicking, his running helped create lots of space.

Eoin Reddan 7

Was shown up by Isaac Boss who was more powerful and direct.

Heinke van der Merwe 7

Held solid in a scrum that Racing Metro targetted from the very off.

Richard Strauss 9.5

Brilliant. He had vision in the open, good pace and great endurance.

Mike Ross 8

Great man to break the line and make yards. Fine performance.

Devin Toner 7

Given his 6'10" stature, we'd like to see him use his size more.

Nathan Hines 7.5

Has been great for Leinster, but was only good on the day.

Seán O'Brien 9

Laid down a marker. You can expect to see him in green very soon.

Shane Jennings 7

Was the auxiliary in a rampant Leinster back row.

Jamie Heaslip 7.5

Despite the try, the captain didn't lead as he'd have liked.

Bench 9

Boss and McFadden showed up the Metro's expensive replacements.
