Leinster reaches Champions Cup semi-final

Despite a testing opening 40 minutes, Leo Cullen's side pulled away with clinical efficiency, led by standout performances from Ryan Baird and Tommy O'Brien.

The victory was bolstered by Toulon's earlier win over Glasgow Warriors, which ensured Leinster would host the semi-final in Dublin.

While the margin was convincing, analysts noted that Leinster still has areas to improve before facing the star-studded French side.

The match also saw emotional scenes as midfielder Gary O'Neill revealed his recent all-clear following a cancer diagnosis.
