Absolute scenes!

In what was a brutally tough encounter this evening between Leinster and the Stormers, in their URC semi-final at the Aviva Stadium.

It ultimately finished 20-11 to Leinster, who will now face the Bulls in the final in Dublin.

The discipline of the Stormers proved to be there downfall, with the South African side receiving two yellow cards and a red.

There were also mad scenes at half-time, when a crawl between both sets of players erupted.

Initially it seemed as though Leinster prop Thomas Clarkson was the instigator, but in reality it was Adre Smith who pushed Caelan Doris first.

Doris then gave a small shove back, before Smith retaliated, which was when Clarkson reacted and everything kicked off.
