  1. Leinster 29-7 Bulls

    The Bulls seem to be regenerated here and are making Leinster work in defence.

  2. try

    Converted Try - Leinster 29-7 Bulls

    Canan Moodie (conv. Handre Pollard) (62 mins)

    Finally the Bulls make one count.

    Having not made any ground from their rolling maul they spin the ball inside from the left into the arms of Canan Moodie and he dives over far too easily for Leo Cullen's liking.

    Handre Pollard gets the extra two.

  3. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Bulls win a penalty 45-metres from the Leinster line however, and kick to the corner, another chance.

  4. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Kurt-Lee Arendse does superbly under pressure to burst clear as the Bulls head towards the Leinster 22.

    However, Joe McCarthy steals the ball on the deck for a fantastic turnover. Sums up the Bulls' night really.

  5. Sin-bin

    Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Referee Andrea Piardi is checking to see if James Lowe deliberately knocked the ball on, and he did.

    Lowe will spend 10 minutes in the bin on his final Leinster appearance.

  6. Get Involved

    Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Poor Bulls can’t even get on that scoreboard, but take nothing away from Leinster they’ve been excellent in this game

    Jimothy, Jamaica

    That's a shocking decision by the TMO. Clearly grounded. No luck when you're 29 zip down

  7. Poll Result

    Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    I think most of you expect the Leinster win. Almost 280 in favour with only 43 against.

  8. No try

    Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Ooh big call there from the TMO.

    Looked like Vorster had scored but the TMO declares that no clear evidence so Leinster are awarded a goal-line clearance.

  9. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Another TMO check to see if Harold Vorster has got the ball down, it looks good.

  10. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    TMO involved now to clarify that Dan Sheehan deliberately knocked on.

    Another penalty to the Bulls five-metres out.

    They call scrum.

  11. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Finally, the Bulls look threatening in attack as they charge close to the Leinster try line through Stravino Jacobs.

    They win a penalty as Reiko Ioane offside.

    Can the visitors make it count?

  12. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Bulls in possession just inside the Leinster half.

  13. Poll time

    Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    I think I know the result of this already but lets just get it confirmed.

    Thumbs up for a Leinster win, thumbs down for a remarkable Bulls recovery!

  14. Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Ian Madigan
    Former Ireland fly-half on Premier Sports

    That is game set and match. Leinster have done what Bulls needed to do, score first in the second half. It's the quick ball and great awareness to score the try.

  15. try

    Converted Try - Leinster 29-0 Bulls

    Sam Prendergast (conv.) (46 mins)

    And that should be that.

    A fourth try for Leinster and it is that man Prendergast.

    Not one of his usuals it must be said. Some good defence by the Bulls to repel the big Leinster pack but eventually it is the fly-half who picks the ball up at the base of a ruck and darts over from a metre.

    He dusts himself down to land the conversion also.

  16. Leinster 22-0 Bulls

    TMO will check if Sam Prendergast has touched the ball down.

  17. Leinster 22-0 Bulls

    Leinster in possession and inside the Bulls' 22.

  18. Leinster 22-0 Bulls

    Solid scrum by Leinster allows Jamison Gibson-Park to grubber kick the ball 40-yards downfield and into touch.

  19. Leinster 22-0 Bulls

    Bulls starting the second half much more energetic than the first.

    As the rain comes on Ruan Nortje can't hold onto a rather high pass, so it will be a scrum to the hosts.

  20. Get Involved

    Leinster 22-0 Bulls

    When it clicks, Leinster are still one of the very best. Prendergast having the best half of his season

    Paul, Edinburgh

    Thank you for your text updates. Following from hot Corfu. Seems a very one-sided half with the Bulls making too many mistakes. A rollicking from Ackerman and it could be a very different second half!
