The Glasgow Warriors cruised to a 31-21 win over Leinster, while there were also wins for the Cardiff Blues, Edinburgh, Scarlets, Munster, Connacht and Ulster.

The result sees the Warriors extend their perfect start to eight consecutive wins, the second longest streak in the club’s history. They are now 12 points clear at the top of the Conference A standings.

REPORT: Connacht too good for Cheetahs

Two tries each from scrumhalf George Horne and centre Nick Brigg, and a flawless kicking display by flyhalf Peter Horne saw the Warriors take a commanding 31-14 lead at half-time.

The only points in the second half came via a Leinster try, but Glasgow’s dominant performance in the opening 40 minutes was enough to see them home.

In other results, the Cardiff Blues thumped Zebre 37-8, Edinburgh cruised past the Ospreys 37-10, the Scarlets ground out a 20-8 triumph over Treviso and Munster lashed the Dragons 49-6.

REPORT: Ulster survive Kings scare
