Leinster too strong for Toulouse in European Champions Cup semi-final

Leinster made Toulouse pay for their indiscipline in a 41-22 European Champions Cup semi-final win in Dublin on Saturday.

Text size:

The Irish province scored 28 points during two periods when the French giants had a player in the sin-bin.

Leinster, bidding to equal Toulouse's record of five European crowns, scored three tries in 10 first-half minutes, two by Jack Conan, to stay well on course for the final which will see them back in front of a 'home' crowd at the Aviva on May 20.
