Leinster triumphed over Toulon with a score of 29-25 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, securing their spot in this season's Champions Cup final. The match, held on May 23, saw Leinster navigate a tense finish after leading for most of the game.

The Irish province, who have faced disappointment in their last four European Cup finals, began strongly with tries from flankers Jack Conan and Josh van der Flier. Centre Garry Ringrose and captain Caelan Doris also crossed the line, while fly-half Harry Byrne contributed with a penalty and three conversions.

Despite trailing by only three points at halftime, Toulon fought back in a thrilling finale, scoring two late tries from Seta Tuicuvu and Baptiste Serin, along with contributions from Gael Drean, Melvyn Jaminet’s penalties, and conversions.

Key moments included:

• Robbie Henshaw’s injury in the first quarter, leading to a lengthy stoppage.
• Andrew Porter and Harry Byrne receiving yellow cards, leaving Leinster temporarily down two players.
• A crucial 70th-minute try from Serin that offered Toulon a glimmer of hope.

Ultimately, Leinster's resilience paid off, allowing them to advance to their ninth final in Champions Cup history, where they will face either Bordeaux-Begles or Bath.
