Leinster crush Ospreys in URC

Leinster delivered a statement of intent ahead of their Champions Cup final with a crushing 68-14 victory over Ospreys in Dublin.

Ireland lock Joe McCarthy claimed a hat-trick as the home side crossed the line 11 times in a ruthless performance at the Aviva Stadium.

The bonus-point win secures second place in the United Rugby Championship table and guarantees a home run for any potential playoff matches.

Ospreys' season ended in disappointment as they were unable to cope with Leinster's power and clinical finishing in the wan Dublin sunshine.
