The United Rugby Championship all comes down to today with Leinster taking on Bulls in the final. Leo Cullen's side have been the standard-setters all season, topping the table with only two defeats from their 18 regular-season games and then seeing off Scarlets and Glasgow in the play-offs.

The Bulls were shut out, shut down and shut up by a Leinster team masquerading as the Ireland national team. And the Dubliners did it from the first minute. They smashed the Bulls back in every aspect of the game and 80 minutes later, the Bulls had not fashioned one single attacking movement comprising more than four phases.

Bulls coach Jake White did not mince his words when reflecting on the hammering they received at the hands of Leinster in the United Rugby Championship final.
