PILE ON: Leinster’s Dan Sheehan celebrates with Jamison Gibson Park and Josh van der Flier

Jamison Gibson-Park is confident Leinster are in much better shape this year than last season as they look towards a second-consecutive Heineken Champions Cup final following their 41-22 semi-final win over Toulouse on Saturday.

Leinster ruthlessly exploited ill-discipline in the five-time champions’ ranks, scoring four of their five tries and 28 unanswered points while Toulouse had a man in the sin bin. Jack Conan scored twice while full-back Thomas Ramos was off the field for a deliberate knock-on in the first half while forwards Josh van der Flier and replacement Jason Jenkins crossed over in the second half following a yellow card for substitute prop Rodrigue Neti. Dan Sheehan had scored the third try of the afternoon after intercepting a pass 10 metres out on 26 minutes.
