I doubt even Harry Kane could help England against this African side... #RSAvENG

Em, er, never in doubt??? We fixed defensive problems at the break, lineout not so much, but bench was huge and we just about deserved the bit of luck needed to nick it. Hugo Keenan's tackle on Suaalii towards end of 1st half was essentially a 14-pt swing. Great start to this comp #AUSvIRE

Took WAYYYYY too long to flag that #AUSvIRE

We look great with the ball, esp at the end there obvs, but LOADS of halftime work ons. Lineout a shambles, and taking way too many gambles in defence. Still, game's still there for the winning, fair play for playing on from that scrum. #AUSvIRE #NationsChampionship

So far this Nations Championship is living up to the hype we've all been giving it since it was first announced. #ahem #NZLvFRA

BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS. First to win URC twice. That is all for now. Celebrate, honour those moving on. Analyse later. Congrats to all involved. #LEIvBUL #BKTURC

Take a bow Jerry Cahir #LEIvBUL

Literally couldn't have asked for better than that. Plenty of adversity losing Doris & TOB but others taking the slack, Hugo, Sam, Conan etc all superb and we're making the most out of several Bulls errors. Cant forget what they did in their SF but this is definitely in our hands. #LEIvBUL

Here we go, we'll need to be at our best for all 80 minutes, come on the boys in blue. #BKTURC #LEIvBUL

Not sure I've seen both SFs of a major comp essentially decided by who made the fewer mistakes, but they still have to be won and Leinster and Bulls got there. JGP worthy PotM took the try really well. Stormers competed well until discipline brainfarts. On to another final. #LEIvSTO #BKTURC

I really hope we dont rue not taking points at the end there. We're the better side but Stormers have looked dangerous. Decision making in attacking situation not the best so far, though I like the way we're taking threes. Our next visit to 22 could be match deciding. #LEIvSTO #BKTURC

If it turns out to be a Leinster v Bulls URC final it would be played in Croke Park on Friday June 19 kickoff 7:30pm

Wrapped it up early after the break and had exhibition feel by the end. Delighted for James, deserves every bit of that record. 71 in 100? Insane. Sam & Reiko impressed also tho Joe worthy PotM good showing from pack. Credit to Lions on their best URC season, on we go, Stormers next #LEIvLIO

Good start then strike moves started to fail, Lions began winning contestables and a silly card let them back in despite Smith leaving his kicking boots on the plane. But a super response from the 7-man Leinster pack got us back over the line now it's about managing the 2nd half #LEIvLIO

Lions name a powerful side with a 6–2 bench split. James Lowe departure confirmed. Connacht bow out. Munster face a monster task in Pretoria. Full Saturday‑morning URC update now live. #LeinsterRugby #URC #JamesLowe youtu.be/SSe55EJFadk
