Leinster became the first team to win three successive Guinness PRO14 titles after breaking free of Ulster in the second half to record a 27-5 final win at the Aviva Stadium.

Robbie Henshaw’s 45th-minute intercept try and a closing score from Caelan Doris were the highlights as Leinster claimed their fifth PRO14 title in eight years, taking their overall record haul to seven league crowns.
