    Rugby: Leinster beat Toulon to reach Champions Cup final

    Leinster booked their place in the European Champions Cup final after a hard-fought 29–25 victory over Toulon in their semi-final clash in Dublin.

    Playing in front of their home fans, the Irish side made a strong start with early tries from Jack Conan and Josh van der Flier, establishing control of the contest despite facing a disciplined Toulon side.

    The match proved far from straightforward, as Leinster were reduced to 13 men at one stage following yellow cards, yet still managed to extend their lead with further tries from Garry Ringrose and captain Caelan Doris.

    Their ability to score while under pressure highlighted their resilience and attacking quality in a tense encounter.

    Toulon mounted a late comeback through tries from Baptiste Serin and Gael Drean, narrowing the gap and threatening a dramatic turnaround in the closing minutes.

    However, a crucial error at the end of the match halted their momentum, allowing Leinster to hold on for victory and secure a place in the final, where they will face either Bordeaux or Bath in Bilbao.
