Leinster dominate Bulls 32-7 in URC final for ninth title

Leinster dominate Bulls 32-7 in URC final for ninth title

Leinster won the United Rugby Championship for the first time since 2021 as they produced a dominant display to beat the Bulls 32-7 this morning.

Leo Cullen's side raced ahead through early tries from Jack Conan, the departing Jordie Barrett and Josh van der Flier while rendering the South African visitors scoreless at half-time with a terrific defensive effort.

Replacement Akker van der Merwe's try briefly sparked hopes of a comeback from the unusually lacklustre Bulls, but Fintan Gunne crossed late to help the hosts to a resounding win.

They have now won nine titles in the competition, which was expanded in 2021, while the Bulls have lost three finals in the five years they have appeared in the competition.
