  1. Sin-bin - Leolin Zas

    Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Uh oh...

    This could be a huge swing in momentum in this semi-final as Leolin Zas is shown a yellow card for a deliberate knock on.

    A very silly mistake! Leinster have 10 minutes to make it count and find their attacking flow once again.

  2. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    The whistle blows and we go to the TMO for a potential deliberate knock on by Leolin Zas.

  3. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    The Stormers have the ball and they're putting in some huge hits and carries.

  4. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Leinster are hunting for their second try of the match.

    Prendergast sends the ball high and Keenan wins the aerial contest.

  5. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Yet more tape!

    A slight stoppage of play as captain Doris receives some medical attention.

    Former South African rugby player on Premier Sports

    Stormers found their rhythm.

    Andrew Porter coming off after 20 minutes put even more pressure on Leinster's set pieces and Stormers can see that.

  7. Kick-off

    Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    And we're under way!

    Sam Prendergast kicks off the second half of this intense semi-final encounter.

    In just 40 minutes, we'll know who will take on the Bulls in the URC Grand Final on Friday 19 June.

    Exciting!

  8. HT: Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    We're almost ready for a huge second half of this encounter...

    The teams are back out on the pitch and I'm excited!

  9. What are your thoughts?

    HT: Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Do you think Leinster will come out victorious or will the Stormers carry on building in the second half?

    Give me a thumbs up for Leinster or a thumbs down for Stormers!

  10. HT: Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Yikes! Tunnel row alert. It seems there is a scuffle in the tunnel as the sides return to the changing rooms at the break.

    Tensions are very high.

  11. HT: Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    A clinical and ruthless start from Leinster saw Rieko Ioane get over early for a try.

    Two penalties beautifully slotted by Sam Prendergast saw them race to a 13-0 lead after the first quarter, with the Stormers struggling to get a hold of the game.

    However, you cannot rule a South African side out that easily!

    An injury to Andrew Porter seemed to halt Leinster's dominance and the Stormers found their attacking flow, closing the gap to just five points.

    The second half should be interesting!

  12. Half-time

    HT: Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    The answer is no!

    That's half-time at the Aviva Stadium, as Leinster lead by five at the break.

  13. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    The clock is now in red but Leinster keep the ball in play.

    A second try before half time?

  14. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Ferocious defence from the Stormers.

  15. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Leinster are driving forward. They're just short of the line.

  16. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Can the men in blue score a second try ahead of half-time?

    Thumbs up for yes or thumbs down for no.

  17. Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    Dan du Plessis takes Hugo Keenan in the air and Leo Cullen's side have another opportunity to attack.

  18. Penalty - Jurie Matthee

    Leinster 13-8 Stormers

    A nice and easy three points for Jurie Matthee, as he nails the penalty in front of the posts.

    The Stormers have done well to bring Leinster's lead down to just five points.

  19. Leinster 13-5 Stormers

    Oh no! The opportunity might not be gone for the Stormers.

    Thomas Clarkson gets pinged for 'jumping up and not taking the hit'.

  20. Leinster 13-5 Stormers

    Just metres short from the try line, the Stormers knock it on.

    Huge opportunity gone for the visiting side. Really unlucky.
