Leinster Score Eight Tries for Bonus-Point Win Over Zebre in URC

Leinster's experimental rugby team, missing 22 players due to national team call-ups, returned to winning ways with a bonus-point victory over Zebre Parma in the United Rugby Championship at Aviva Stadium. Despite early resistance from Zebre, Leinster scored eight tries, including two apiece from debutants Joshua Kenny and Alex Soroka, who played a pivotal role in the first half. The match featured multiple disciplinary issues, with Leinster's Andrew Osborne and Zebre's Thomas Dominguez each receiving 20-minute red cards after incidents involving tackles in the air and foul play. Zebre remained competitive and secured a try bonus point, with Marco Zanon scoring late in the game.
