Jamie Heaslip cracking hit on Bernardo Stortoni


Leinster beat the Glasgow Warriors 36-13 in the Magners League on Saturday, scoring four second half tries which should give them some much needed momentum and confidence ahead of their upcoming Heineken Cup semi-final meeting with Munster.

Glasgow were looking good in the first half, leading 13-8 at halftime after tries from Kelly Brown and Lome Fa’atau.

The second half was a different affair though as last seasons Magners League champions pulled clear after tries by Shane Horgon, Jonathan Sexton, and two for Sean OBrien.

In the first half Leinster and Ireland number eight Jamie Heaslip put this excellent hit in on Glasgows fullback Bernardo Stortoni.

The new Lion timed the chase perfectly and smashed Stortoni as he landed from taking the high ball.

It was an excellent hit that resulted in the turnover, and then the penalty.
