LEINSTER TO FACE BULLS SHOWDOWN

LEINSTER will face the Bulls at Croke Park in the final of the United Rugby Championship.

LEINSTER TO FACE BULLS SHOWDOWN

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.
