e cricketer to not only take tremendous pressure of representing his country,

Leinster reversed last seasons Guinness PRO12 final result with an impressive 24-13 derby win over Connacht at the RDS.A crowd of 18,200 watched Ireland Sevens internationals Adam Byrne and Barry Daly run in second-half tries, with captain Isa Nacewa kicking 14 points.A fiercely-contested first half ended 9-6 in Leinsters favour, Nacewas three penalties cancelling out an early brace from Connacht centre Craig Ronaldson.Pat Lams reigning champions were craving a victory in Dublin - Connachts last one coming 14 years ago - but they had no answer to Leinsters scrum dominance and the destructive breakdown work of man-of-the-match Dan Leavy and the returning Sean OBrien.Those scores from UCD wingers Byrne (49 minutes) and Daly (75) had Leinster out of sight before Connachts replacement hooker Shane Delahunt took a great line to score a last-minute consolation try.Ronaldson pushed a ruck offence by Cian Healy for the opening points in the fourth minute, Connacht getting their offload game going with Tiernan OHalloran and Jack Carty both sniping and finding space.Leinster were on the defensive for most of the first quarter, leaking a second penalty goal from Ronaldson, but a Leavy-won penalty at the breakdown broke up Connachts attacking rhythm.Healy then got the plaudits for a 23rd-minute scrum penalty which Nacewa turned into three points. Despite losing OBrien to the sin-bin (the fit-again Ireland flanker saw yellow for meeting Robbs head with his shoulder at a ruck), the hosts were exerting more control at the breakdown and Nacewa duly levelled matters in the 32nd minute.Robb was then binned for a deliberate knock-on which prevented a Leinster line-break, briefly evening up the numbers on the pitch and allowing Nacewa to boot the hosts in front.Having survived a late bout of Connacht pressure before the interval, Leinster were much the better side in the third quarter, their aggressive defence and superior scrum becoming key factors with number eight Jack Conan also making a smashing break. Off set piece ball in the westerners 22, the hosts managed to suck in the Connacht defence and passes from Jamison Gibson-Park and Sean Cronin led to Byrne scooping up a bouncing ball to touch down in the right corner.Full-back OHalloran, arguably Connachts best player on the night, won a vital ruck penalty as Leinster pressed for another score. But an OBrien turnover led to Nacewas fourth penalty success on the hour mark.Leinsters scrum was on the cusp of winning a penalty try before Daly marked his first PRO12 start with a try, going over wide on the left from a flat Joey Carbery pass. After Nacewas conversion, Connacht broke downfield and their efforts were eventually rewarded with Delahunts seven-pointer by the posts.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. ESPN looks at the major talking points from a chaotic and rain-delayed Brazilian Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen stole the plaudits and Lewis Hamilton ensured the championship fight goes to Abu Dhabi.?Shock: Red Bulls gamble to go on to intermediate tyres with both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo after the final race restart. The rain intensified and both men had to pit to swap back to the full-wet tyre. Verstappens pace at the end suggested a win was there for the taking.Shocker: The only thing worse than losing control in the rain is doing it before the race has started. Romain Grosjean did just that, spinning off at the final corner of his exploratory lap to the grid and smashing his Haas into the wall. It ended a race that had looked so promising for the Haas driver having qualified in seventh position.The FIA was saved by the thrilling final half an hour -- the focus would have otherwise been on several questionable Safety Car and red flag calls.?Overtake of the race: Verstappen was on another level. His pass on Rosberg for second through Turns 2 and 3 was remarkable, going around the outside of the championship leader as he struggled for grip, in almost zero visibility. It may well go down as the pass of the season.Honourable mentions are also Red Bull awards: Daniel Ricciardo opting to pass Felipe Nasr around the outside of Turn 1, which was not the prefeerred option throughout the weekend.dddddddddddd However, Verstappen could have won the award twice over for the heartstopping pass on Perez for third with four laps to go.Tear-jerker of the race: Felipe Massa was given an emotional send-off in Brazil. He might not have wanted to finish with his car in the wall, but his walk down the pit lane, crying and draped in a Brazilian flag, was followed by a guard of honour from Mercedes and then former team Ferrari in front of his adoring home fans. A fitting send off for one of the sports best-loved drivers.?Save of the race: Verstappen, again, saving his car on lap 38 when it looked like he was about to brand the pit entry wall with a Red Bull. Not only did he save the car, he held on to second position despite Nico Rosberg getting alongside him into Turn 1.Drive of the day: Easy awarding this one. This felt like a coming-of-age race for Verstappen, a defining moment in a young career that keeps getting better and better. Hes had his critics this year but this race was sublime -- only Lewis Hamilton looked as comfortable in the wet conditions, with Verstappen passing cars like he was on a different circuit.Honourable mention to Felipe Nasr for an invaluable ninth for Sauber at his home race.
