Fly-half Valentin Courrent, the only non-international in either team from the kick-off, and French stars Clement Poitrenaud, Cedric Heymans and Vincent Clerc all touched down as the three-time European champions picked up what could prove to be a vital bonus point.

Two penalty goals from Felipe Contepomi, one of the tormentors of France during the World Cup, was all Leinster could muster on a night of frustrating errors, flat attacking and hampering injuries for the visitors.

The Irish province lost scrum half Chris Whitaker to a suspected broken ankle in the first half and Gordon D'Arcy also limped off on the hour mark, but even with their full complement, the men in blue struggled to recapture the form which saw them roar past Leicester Tigers last week.
