Leinster Rugby have defeated Northampton Saints 40-7 away from home in the Heineken Cup Pool 1.

Winger Luke Fitzgerald scored a hat-trick of tries for the Irish side as they left Northampton's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the competition in tatters.

The result leaves Northampton third in Pool 1, eight points behind Leinster, who extend their unbeaten run against English sides to 10 matches.
