Despite facing a stubborn resistance from Zebre Parma in the opening 40 minutes of the action, an experimental Leinster side returned to winning ways in the United Rugby Championship this evening with a bonus point triumph over Zebre Parma at the Aviva Stadium. On a night when no fewer than six Leinster players made their debuts, Joshua Kenny marked his first start for the province by touching down in fine style with just 70 seconds gone on the clock.

Lionel Messi broke another record and four World Cup hopefuls made their debuts as Argentina crushed Puerto Rico 6-0 in a one-sided friendly. Inter Miami star Messi set up two of the goals in his home stadium in Fort Lauderdale to move to 60 assists in international football - one ahead of Brazil's Neymar. He is just two assists short of 400 in his stellar career.
