Leinster cruise past Scarlets and into Champions Cup final

Leinster cantered into the Champions Cup final with a comprehensive 38-16 defeat of the Scarlets at the Aviva Stadium.

Match Commentary

81'		38-16 End of second half
80'		Steff Evans breaks clear but after the ball is lost forward, Carbery takes control of the ball and boots it out to bring an end to the game and send his side to Bilbao. Leinster have been incredibly impressive, fully justifying their favourites tag and they completely deserve their place in next month's final.
