@Source: breakingnews.ie
Leinster are looking to pick up their first piece of silverware in four years. They have welcomed the Bulls to Dublin for the Grand Final of the URC. Luke McGrath was a late replacement for Jamison Gibson Park who misses the game for the hosts. The South Africans have never won this tournament since making the move to the northern hemisphere. Leinster are currently up 19-0 after a strong start from the Irish side. TRY! What a score! Jordie Barrett gets on the end of Luke McGrath's dink over the top, kicks the ball through and is the first on the end of his own chase to touch down. Prendergast converts again. 🔵🔵 14-0 ⚪️⚪️#LEIvBUL #NeverLessThanEverything pic.twitter.com/1Ga1j7YBhj — Leinster Rugby (@leinsterrugby) June 14, 2025 Dublin and Derry square off in a do-or-die clash in the final round of group games in the All-Ireland Football Championship.
