Brilliant impact from Morgan here, as he and Adams combine to cross for what looked like a wonderful try. However, there is a forward pass in the build up. Shame as it was great play from the outside back duo. 32-12 #GuinnessPRO14

Unsurprisingly, Olly Robinson has been phenomenal at the breakdown, winning yet another penalty. 32-12 #GuinnessPRO14
