Leinster secured a home tie in this season's Heineken Cup quarter-finals with a 36-11 victory over Racing Metro in their Pool 2 clash at the Stade Yves du Manoir.
Two tries from fly-half Jonathan Sexton and others from fullback Isa Nacewa, No.8 Sean O'Brien and centre Brian O'Driscoll saw the Irish province extend their unbeaten run in Europe and hand Racing a rare home defeat. A try from centre Virimi Vakatawa put the hosts in control in the first half but they were soon blown away by a high-octane Leinster with man of the match O' Brien taking a starring role in defence and attack.
The result carried the Magners League side to the top of the provisional seeding for the last eight and with Toulouse and Northampton the only sides able to usurp them they can look forward to home advantage when the competition reaches the knock-out stages later this year.
