Was on the opposite side from the presentation, but having waited 4 years for Leinster to win a trophy I could afford waiting another 10 minutes for them to make their way around Croke Park.

Rassie on the Bulls vs Leinster: If the Bulls look at what the Stormers did — that is the blueprint. Physical, never gave up, came really close.
Stick: The more the Bulls do well, the better for us when they join the Springboks. 🏉 #URCFinal #VodacomBulls

Leinster are URC Champions once again, producing a dominant 36–7 win over the Bulls at Croke Park in front of 39,000 supporters.

• Reiko Ioane’s impact in midfield
• Jack Conan’s monster shift after Doris’ early injury
• Sam Prendergast’s composure off the tee
• Leinster’s defensive suffocation of the Bulls
• How the forwards flipped the Bilbao narrative
• Why this was Leinster’s most complete 1–23 performance of the season
Plus: what this win means for the squad, the coaching ticket, and the wider Leinster narrative.
