WATCH: Sean Cronin makes an absolute fool of Dan Biggar en route to incredible 40m try

That step...

Sean McMahon

You beauty!

Leinster are currently taking on the Ospreys in a highly entertaining game at the Liberty Stadium.

Two sides who like to play running rugby, both teams with a lot to play for and perfect conditions, what more could you ask for?

A hooker scoring a 40m try and making a show of an out-half who could go on the Lions Tour?

Ask and you shall receive.

Leinster found themselves 7-0 down after a Sam Davies try in the corner early in the first half.

The away side slowly built some pressure throughout the half it eventually told thanks to some incredibly shoddy defence from the Ospreys and that unbelievable acceleration we have all come to expect from Sean Cronin.

Leinster played the ball wide through Joey Carbery (who’s having a very good game), Rory O’Loughlin and Robbie Henshaw.

Henshaw draws the last defender before unleashing a delicious flick pass to the onrushing Cronin.

The Limerick man blazes a trail down the touchline before he finds the last remaining defender in front of him, Wales’ Dan Biggar.

The 30-year-old steps in off his right foot and puts the pedal down as he blitzes past the despairing Biggar.

A moment of magic from Leinster and another one to add to the highlight reel for Cronin.

Update: At the time of writing, the current score is 11-10 to Ospreys.
