    Andy in Armagh: "Glasgow like their off-loads, don't they!"

  2. Leinster 7-9 Glasgow Warriors (Russell)published at 18:59 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    No mistake from Finn Russell as he fires between the posts for the third time to edge Glasgow back in front.

  3. PENALTYpublished at 18:58 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Leinster prop Mike Ross concedes a penalty in front of the posts after a fine run by Leone Nakarawa, who has already made an impact.

  4. Postpublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Andrew: "Sad to see Brian O'Driscoll leave a rugby pitch for the last time. What a tremendous player and role model he has been over the years. Hero."

  5. Former Scotland forward Peter Wright on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    "There's a little more rugby being played by both sides than I thought. But it makes for an exciting game."

  6. BBC Scotland's Andy Burke at RDS Arenapublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    "The Leinster fans are in fine voice chanting 'Come on you boys in blue', but the boys in Glasgow's white are acquitting themselves well. Electric atmosphere and a tempo to match. Breathless stuff!"

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    A second Glasgow departure. Scotland flanker Chris Fusaro is replaced with Leone Nakarawa following another injury in this already bruising encounter. The Fiji international was the star man in the semi-final, so Glasgow will hope that is not too much of a blow.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:43 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    It is Glasgow's turn to lose a key player, with Dougie Hall leaving the field to be replaced with fellow Scotland hooker Pat McArthur.

  9. BBC Scotland's Andy Burke at RDS Arenapublished at 18:42 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    "Frantic defence from Glasgow but Leinster took their time, showed great patience to work the overlap and Kirchner left with an easy finish. Great try."

  10. CONVERTED TRY - Leinster 7-6 Glasgow Warriors (Gopperth)published at 18:36 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    New Zealander Jimmy Gopperth is successful with the conversion as the fly-half puts Leinster ahead for the first time.

  11. TRY - Leinster 5-6 Glasgow Warriors (Kirchner)published at 18:35 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    South African wing Zane Kirchner touches down in the corner for Leinster.

  12. Postpublished at 18:34 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Leinster are laying siege on the Glasgow line, stung by those two Finn Russell penalties. Glasgow's famed defence is fairly being tested as the tackles thump in.

  13. BBC Scotland's Andy Burke at the RDS Arenapublished at 18:32 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    "What a glorious setting for a major rugby final. The RDS in Dublin is a throwback to rugby grounds of a bygone era, full of character and charm. The pitch is immaculate, the sun is shining, Glasgow going for a first major trophy, a legend of the game in Brian O'Driscoll taking to the field for the last time - all the makings of a wonderful occasion."

  14. Leinster 0-6 Glasgow Warriors (Russell)published at 18:31 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Finn Russell's kick from wide on the Glasgow left drifts towards the far post - and strikes the upright before going over for his second successful penalty of the game.

  15. PENALTYpublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Tommy Seymour is downed by what looks like a high tackle by Leinster's Mike McCarthy. After consulting the TMO, a penalty is given.

  16. Postpublished at 18:28 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Glasgow are 10 metres from the Leinster line after a scintillating break by Finn Russell. If it hadn't been for a missed pass, that could have been the first try.

  17. Postpublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Calum MacDonald, Stirling: "Leinster's strength in depth and experience of winning at Rabo and international level will be difficult for Glasgow to overcome, but Warriors can certainly win this game if they keep their nerve, play the way play and adapt their game if they go behind. Great defence is essential, but that is one of their many strengths. Townsend's tactical nouse will also come to the fore. COME ON GLASGOW!"

  18. SUBSTITUTION - A dramatic onepublished at 18:26 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Brian O'Driscoll has limped off with what looks like a hamstring injury. Those have been the bane of his career. A dramatic departure so early into the match. Fellow Ireland international Ian Maddigan takes the place of the departing legend.

  19. PENALTYpublished at 18:21 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Leinster win a penalty within kicking distance after a collapsed scrum. However, Leinster choose to kick for touch. Arrogance? Confidence? Bad decision?

  20. Leinster 0-3 Glasgow Warriors (Russell)published at 18:19 British Summer Time 31 May 2014

    Finn Russell, only 21, keeps his cool and kicks Glasgow ahead from long range.
