Leinster earned a 31-10 win over the Southern Kings in their PRO14 clash at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.
The crowd for the ‘historic’ game was less than impressive and social media wasn’t kind:
Did South African customs detain the crowd at the airport too? #KINvLEI #FreeIsa pic.twitter.com/bV3lEzjAOe

The crowds not doing a lot to convince us of the merits of expanding the league. #KINvLEI pic.twitter.com/8Oswe1P1lr

South African teams getting pummelled at home and away, about 100 people in a 46,000 seat stadium. Pro14 seems a success so far. #KINvLEI
