Leinster into another final, but are their fans buying into their URC run?

About this episode

Leinster secures another URC final appearance against the Bulls, with insights on their performance and other rugby developments.

Leinster beat the Stormers on Saturday to secure another URC final appearance as they once again meet the Bulls in the final.  Gordon D’Arcy joins Nathan Johns to pick through the action, look at where Leo Cullen’s side just about had enough to work past the Cape Town outfit and how they might fare against another South African juggernaut.  Plus, we look at excitement elsewhere with Glasgow blowing their lead and European champions Bordeaux crashing out of Top14 contention. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
