Leinster 24-6 Lions
Leinster with a final lineout maul and, as they trundle towards the line, referee Craig Evans awards a penalty try for an infringement from the South African side as they struggle to cope with the powerful drive.
The hosts will be happy to end the game on a high following a game which resembled an arm wrestle at times.
Job done for Leo Cullen's men as the referee blows the final whistle.
