Well that's that from the Aviva Stadium. Leinster will be back playing across the city next week as they will host either The Bulls or The Sharks at Croke Park in the final.

It was a dominant display from Leinster who ended holders Glasgow's title defence at the final four stage.

You can read Clive Lindsay's match report here but from us, thank you for joining us this afternoon.

Goodbye and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Leinster Head Coach Leo Cullen speaking on Premier Sports: "We reacted really well to Glasgow's early score. I think we managed the game and the conditions very well today.

"It's all about getting through no matter how we did it but we made the right decisions throughout the game. We prepared well this week and we will do so again this week.

"We will try to make the travel that one of the South African teams will have to make next week count.

"We have a really competitive group and there is always competition for places which pushes guys on."

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith admits Leinster brought "a huge performance" to the game.

"They are a quality outfit and, from the word go, I felt their urgency and they put pressure on us," he says.

"On the day, we were not good enough, especially in the first half. We should have started better and then we wouldn't have had to chase the game and that led to more errors from our side."

Smith admits that Leinster's kicking game proved the difference.

"I don't think the strategy was wrong, they are good at the aerial battle," he adds.

"But I am really proud. We had a lot of boys unavailable this week. I must look at the big picture. It was a tough task to come here and win."

It's not the prettiest part of the game but Leinster's kicking game was so good today and Glasgow couldn't respond. There are kickers all over the Leinster team while the Warriors didn't seem to have a plan B.

The physicality that Leinster brought today was outstanding.

Glasgow could not get any front-foot ball because they couldn't get into the game.

Leinster make it incredibly difficult, but you know that's coming and you need to work out how do you execute and Glasgow did not get execution or put any pressure on Leinster.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Franco Smith on Premier Sports: "Ultimately, we weren't good enough on the day. They started so quickly and we were chasing things from there which is so hard.

"They kept the error and penalty count down while we didn't. I am really proud of our boys for our title defence this season.

"We had to be extraordinarily good and they would have had to be average at least and that didn't happen."

Glasgow couldn't get their attacking shape all day and were absorbing pressure.

They didn't have enough physicality and were well beaten.

Leinster are so good at going down the short side and punishing teams. They are also so patient as it is very easy to knock a ball on or force a pass but they so rarely do that.

Glasgow could not get any foothold in the game.

The downpour shifted the dynamics of the game. Catch and pass takes longer with a wet ball and Leinster adapted better.

The old failings of Glasgow is when they don't have the ball, they try to force something, but they didn't have the accuracy they needed.

Man of the Match Ryan Baird speaking to Premier Sports: "We want to win this tournament. Simple as that. We needed to turn up today, no excuses and we did that.

"They are a great team full of Lions players and we never took them for granted. We were physical and energetic which is just as pleasing as the scores we got."

Leinster scrum half Jamison Gibson-Park speaking on Premier Sports: "Knockout rugby can be a simple game sometimes. You have to front up and so the basics and the boys were awesome at that today.

"We will enjoy tonight but we have no preference as to our opponents. We will prepare accordingly either way."

While they didn't reach the 52 points that they hit in April's Champions Cup quarter-final, this has been a statement Leinster win. Glasgow were being tipped by many to get a result today and Leo Cullen's men utterly dominated the defending champions.

The final will be at Croke Park against either The Bulls or The Sharks next weekend as the men from the Irish capital will look to end their trophy hoodoo and win a first piece of silverware since their 2021 URC success.

While others getting on the score sheet may steal the headlines, it is the ever-industrious Ryan Baird who is named Man of the Match.

I would love to see his GPS stats after this one. The Leinster blindside has been absolutely everywhere.

Things get a little loose in the Leinster back field as Josh McKay makes a break. We even get a grubber from replacement hooker Johnny Matthews that Tom Jordan controls.

Initially, we thought it was a Leinster scrum but the last touch forward came off a blue hand so scrum down Glasgow on the Leinster 22.

Can they get a score for some pride?

Leinster are oozing confidence here with a quarter of an hour to go. Ronan Kelleher makes a big line break before RG Snyman finds a set of hands with a trademark one-handed offload.

Jimmy O'Brien tries a grubber through but Carl Steyn beats Ciaran Frawley to it and dots down. The home side have afforded themselves the opportunity to really enjoy themselves in this semi-final.

Tom Jordan is pinged for a side entry and our Italian official gives Carl Steyn a final warning - the next penalty will see a man sat in the bin.

Leinster in the corner again...
