Leinster 13 Glasgow Warriors 5 Daire Walsh reports from the Aviva Stadium Advertisement IT WAS A largely forgettable affair played in front of 17,654 spectators, but Leinster ultimately closed out their United Rugby Championship regular season campaign with a victory over Glasgow Warriors at the Aviva Stadium this evening. Whereas they amassed eight tries on their way to securing a 52-0 triumph at the expense of Glasgow in a European Champions Cup quarter-final at the same venue on 11 April, on this occasion a single effort by Jimmy O’Brien was complemented by a combined eight points from the boots of Sam Prendergast and Ciaran Frawley to ensure Leinster got over the line in an underwhelming spectacle. A much-discussed penultimate round defeat to Northampton Saints in Europe’s top-tier a fortnight ago in the Aviva means the URC is the only remaining shot at silverware for the eastern province in the 2024/25 season, but Leo Cullen’s men were already assured of finishing top of the regular season table coming into this game.
