Contepomi stars for Leinster

Felipe Contepomi had little difficulty in transferring his World Cup form to the Heineken Cup as he inspired Leinster to an impressive 22-9 Pool Six win over former champions Leicester.

The Argentinian star landed six kicks out of eight and had a hand in the only try of this bruising encounter - winger Shane Horgan's 53rd-minute effort - as Leinster gained some revenge for their 2005 quarter-final exit at the hands of the English giants.

Hampered by a string of unforced errors, bad decision-making and some poor discipline, Leicester paid the price for a lacklustre second-half performance as fly half Andy Goode kicked a single penalty to add to his first-half haul of two.
