LEINSTER will face the Bulls at Croke Park in the final of the United Rugby Championship.
-
The Irish province dished out a 37-19 beating to last year’s winners Glasgow Warriors.
Leinster, who had endured three straight URC semi-final defeats, regained their mojo to set up a Dublin decider against the Bulls.
Dan Sheehan started and finished the first half’s try-scoring to give Leinster a 25-5 lead.
Jamie Osborne and Tom Clarkson also crossed at a rain-hit Aviva Stadium.
Osborne and Ciaran Frawley made it six tries to one before closing scores from Jamie Dobie and Sione Tuipulotu added to George Horne’s fourth-minute effort for Glasgow.
The hosts hit the ground running with Jamison Gibson-Park pulling the trigger for Sheehan to raid over in the second minute.
