Caelan Doris may have only played a small part in tonight's game but he is the man with the trophy in his hands, and he shares the trophy lift with the departing James Lowe!
Special moment for the whole squad, particularly those leaving.
An emphatic win tonight and sure to be some celebrating done in Dublin City tonight.
FT: Leinster 36-7 Bulls
The Leinster team showed up for Nienaber this time!

What a damp squib end to the season. Congrats to Leinster but my word, you watch some cracking games through the long winter, look forward to the good weather and free flowing rugby, and you get another non-event final in a quarter full stadium in a wet overcast Dublin. Turned over after 45 minutes.

Well done Leinster ! I see the “Naysayers “ are very active again. Grind it out
John, Limerick
Well deserved win for Leinster!! but some dreadful officiating tonight, I hope it’s called out

I'm sure James Lowe is delighted to finish on a happy note. Before the game we thought Bulls were going to pitch up but it was ultimately one too many. Leinster were super sharp and clinical when they needed to be.
FT: Leinster 36-7 Bulls
Motm for me would be Josh Van Der Flier. He did so much of the unseen work that have Leinster the momentum.
David, Congleton
Almost deja vu from last year?
D Ryan, Eastbourne
The comfortable URC champions were outclassed by the team that finished eighth in the Top 14. What conclusions can be drawn from that?

Player-of-the-match Sam Prendergast speaks to Premier Sports after the game;
"Yeah I think (the result) is pretty special. We have a number of unbelievable characters leaving and it's good to give them a few nice days celebrating.
"The feeling felt very similar to last years final.
"I suppose since Europe my focus has been about winning this trophy, no one has won it back to back but now we have."

Former Ireland and Ulster flanker on Premier Sports
Leinster were magnificent. Their attack was in full flow and they took every opportunity given to them. Their big players stood up and were counted. They looked much fitter and stronger, they had a gameplan and battered the Bulls.
FT: Leinster 36-7 Bulls
As a neutral what a let down of a game! It’s like the Bulls didn’t what to be there, too busy thinking about pulling on the Springboks jersey in two weeks! At least Glasgow would have made a match of it!
Bruce, Dundee
Some awful TMO calls. Bulls haven't been good enough today, but who knows at 29-21. Leinster's defence had intensity that pressurised the Bulls into crucial mistakes in the first half. Hope Nienaber gets the credit.

Leinster are emphatic winners. Dominant in the quarter-final, semi-final and final. To make two finals and win one, that is a good season for them.
Leinster 36-7 Bulls
It's Leinster!
After a long season that started poorly for Leo Cullen's men they have showed their class by rallying since Christmas.
They are deserved winners today, scoring five tries to one, and made the Bulls look like a very average outfit this evening.
For the Bulls, it is a heart breaking fourth URC Final defeat in five years, but they will be back.
But, tonight it is all about Leinster.

Canan Moodie tackled into touch on the left-hand side by Garry Ringrose.
Last play of the game coming up
Leinster 36-7 Bulls
Leinster 60 seconds from completing back-to-back URC titles.
They have a scrum inside their own half.
Harry Byrne (conv.) (76 mins)
Made by the forwards, finished by the backs.
Just as it looked like both sides would cancel each other out in that phase of play, Harry Byrne stretches over under the posts.
He then gets up and kicks over the conversion too. Good effort from the replacement.
Leinster 29-7 Bulls
Leinster going through phases but everyone looks tired out there now.
Leinster 29-7 Bulls
Leinster camped five-metres out from the Bulls line now going through phase-after- phase.

Applause rings out as Jamison Gibson-Park leaves and is replaced by Luke McGrath.
This will be McGrath's 257th and final Leinster appearance before leaving for Perpignan in the summer.
Leinster 29-7 Bulls
Lineout to Leinster just inside the Bulls half.
They have one hand on the trophy now as we enter the last eight minutes.
Leinster 29-7 Bulls
James Lowe back on the park after his sin-bin period.
Leinster 29-7 Bulls
Bulls score again! Or do they, we are off to the TMO
The try is scrubbed off.
Canan Moodie is penalised for a forward pass in the build-up, but it really could have gone either way. May be one or two aggrieved Bulls fans watching at home.
