Rugby: Leinster retain URC crown with dominant win over the Bulls

# Rugby: Leinster retained their 2026 United Rugby Championship crown with a dominant 36-7 victory over the Bulls at a packed Croke Park stadium in Dublin last night. An early yellow card for the Bulls allowed the home team to assert total control, surging to a 22-0 lead in the first half via tries by Tommy O’Brien, Rieko Ioane, and Jack Conan. A try by Ruan Nortje was dis-allowed due to a forward pass and the Bulls’ only points came from try by Canan Moodie converted by Handré Pollard.
