Leinster fail to impress in overcoming Scarlets and booking URC semi-final slot

It’s not that Leinster weren’t the better team. They were, but they could be thankful for the 13 points they mined during the 20 minutes when the opposition was down to 14 men.

URC: Leinster 33 Scarlets 21  

If playoff rugby is all about winning, then this URC quarter-final stands as a case of job done for Leinster.
