Overview
- Leinster beat the Stormers 20-11 at the Aviva Stadium, with Jamison Gibson-Park’s converted try soon after a 68th-minute Stormers card incident proving decisive.
- The Vodacom Bulls overturned a large first-half deficit to beat Glasgow 22-21 at Murrayfield thanks to second-half tries from Embrose Papier and Francois Klopper.
- Stormers ill-discipline shaped the Dublin semi as Leolin Zas was yellow-carded, Ruan Ackermann’s yellow was upgraded to a red for a dangerous cleanout, and Salmaan Moerat received a disputed yellow that left the visitors with 13 players.
- The final is confirmed for Friday 19 June at Croke Park, giving Leinster home advantage while the Bulls make their fourth URC final in five seasons.
- Both clubs reach the rematch after contrasting routes this season with Leinster recovering from a slow start to defend their crown and the Bulls mounting a late turnaround under Johan Ackermann that has revived confidence and raised expectations for the Dublin decider.
