Hands on the ball they get! Leinster move the ball through the hands and win a lineout five metres from the home line after good work from Garry Ringrose and James Lowe.

They now have a penalty as The Bulls stray offside. Much better from Leo Cullen's men.

It's one-way traffic here as The Bulls' immense scrum wins one against the head inside their own half. Cameron Hanekom breaks off the back and makes ground down the right before grubbering through.

Jamison Gibson-Park, as he so often does, defends well and is tackled off the ball by his opposite number Embrose Papier and Leinster clear. They breath a sigh of relief for now but they need to get more hands on the ball.

We are back underway for another fast and physical 40 minutes of rugby.

That three-pointer from Goosen is the last kick of the half as the hosts go in front right on the whistle.

Leinster have been on the back foot and their defence has held out relatively well but how much longer can that last in the second half?

Leo Cullen's men need to come out of the traps quickly in the second 40. Things are on a knife edge and you don't want to go anywhere.

Goosen knocks over a penalty as the Leinster scrum is decimated.

Willie Le Roux's boot is causing Leinster all sorts of problem defensively. We are into the last two minutes and it's a scrum to the Bulls inside the 22.

Willie Le Roux puts Leinster under pressure with a beautifully-weighted kick into the corner via a white shirt. Bulls on the attack...

Sergeal Petersen is sent to the bin for ten minutes for a deliberate knock on as Leinster moved the ball through the hands.

Ross Byrne puts the ball into the corner and the visitors have their biggest chance to get over the line.

Cameron Hanekom is pinged for going off his feet at the ruck but Byrne's penalty from the halfway line is well wide.

22 minutes gone and still no score.

It's a very short TMO check as it is obvious that van Staden illegally checked Byrne as he was trying to get into the defensive line.

It's a shame as it was a lovely try with some great hands from Goosen and Le Roux putting Williams in the corner.

The in-stadium DJ is pumping the tunes during every stoppage in play and the vibes at Loftus Versfeld are wonderful!

Just over a quarter of an hour gone and neither side have blinked but there has been some thoroughly enjoyable rugby.

Some manic play from the hosts as they go coast to coast and back again and, but for a dropped pass they may have been in.

Eventually, a good hit from Jordan Larmour puts Elrigh Louw into touch. The experienced Willie Le Roux is pulling the strings from full back with his range of kicking.

An absolute monster of a drop goal attempt from Goosen falls just wide from the halfway line.

The thin air in Pretoria will make the kicking game crucial for both teams today.

What a super bit of play from Jamison Gibson-Park. The Leinster scrum was struggling but the scrum half picks from a difficult situation and puts a kick right into the corner to put the Bulls under pressure.

Johan Goosen clears but it's a Leinster lineout just outside the 22.

Just over five minutes gone and the two sides are playing a bit of kick tennis with neither really getting the better of territory.
