• URC final: Leinster 32-7 Bulls

• Departing New Zealander Barrett scores 13th-minute try

Leinster lifted their first trophy since 2021 after a convincing 32-7 United Rugby Championship final win over the Bulls at Croke Park on Saturday. The wet weather failed to deter an attendance of 46,127 – a record for a league decider in Ireland – as Leinster became the first table-topping team to win the title in the URC era.

Despite Jamison Gibson-Park's pre-match withdrawal, Leinster roared into a 19-0 half-time lead with tries from Jack Conan, Jordie Barrett and Josh van der Flier.
