Stormers will be come here with a very clear plan. They will go after Leinster in aerial contests.

It's almost time for kick-off at the Aviva Stadium...

The teams have just taken to the pitch, as the rain starts to pour down.

Who will come out victorious?

Let’s recap on today’s semi-final action so far.

It’s safe to say it was the one that got away for Glasgow Warriors, as the Bulls dominated the second half and came out victorious in a nail-biting 21-22 encounter.

The Warriors were left stunned as the Bulls managed to recover from an 18-point deficit at Murrayfield.

Johan Ackermann’s side will now contest their fourth URC Grand Final on Friday 19 June.

Who will they face? Leinster or the Stormers?

The future of Ireland and Leinster wing James Lowe remains uncertain after his record-breaking night against the Lions.

The 33-year-old's contract will expire at the end of the season and there has not been any sign of a new deal.

Lowe scored his 70th and 71st tries on his 100th Leinster appearance against the Lions in the United Rugby Championship quarter-finals on Saturday to take him clear of Shane Horgan's long-standing try record.

Speaking to reporters after the 59-10 win, which booked a semi-final spot against the Stormers, head coach Leo Cullen declined to provide an update on Lowe's future.

"Listen, James will come out in terms of his own individual piece, so, it's not really right for me to comment on him at this moment in time," said Cullen, who stated pre-match that "conversations are always ongoing" but added that "some people will move on".

Time to take a look at the Stormers, who are forced into three changes to their starting line-up due to injury.

Winger Seabelo Senatla, fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and lock Ruben van Heerden all picked up injuries in the their quarter-final win against Cardiff in Cape Town last week. Wandisile Simelane, Jurie Matthee and Connor Evans now step in to replace them.

There is just one change on the replacements bench, with Warrick Gelant coming into the matchday squad to provide backline cover, with Jurie Matthee starting at flyhalf.

Captain Ruhan Nel and his midfield partner Dan du Plessis will become the most-capped DHL Stormers centre pairing as they make their 31st start together. They overtake De Wet Barry and Marius Joubert.

Leo Cullen has made three changes to his pack from last Saturday’s 59-10 quarter-final win over the Lions.

Ronan Kelleher comes in at hooker with Andrew Porter and Thomas Clarkson on either side.

Joe McCarthy and James Ryan make up the second row.

Josh van der Flier moves into the starting XV, with captain Caelan Doris at number eight once more. Max Deegan takes his place on the other flank.

Jamison Gibson-Park returns to the starting line up with Sam Prendergast his half-back partner. Jamie Osborne is paired with Rieko Ioane to make up the centre partnership.

In an unchanged back three, Hugo Keenan is at full-back, with James Lowe and Jimmy O’Brien on the wings once again.

On the bench, Gus McCarthy, Alex Usanov, Rabah Slimani and Diarmuid Mangan provide forward cover, with Jack Conan the only change to the reinforcements. Meanwhile, Garry Ringrose comes into the matchday 23 alongside Luke McGrath and Harry Byrne for backs replacements.

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen says coach Jacques Nienaber is "fully committed" to the province who are "lucky to have" him.

The two-time World Cup winner with the Springboks had cast doubt on his Leinster future earlier in the week after claiming he does not feel valued by the media and fans in Ireland.

However, Cullen is hopeful he will remain as part of the coaching staff and that Nienaber's comments may have been misunderstood.

"I think what he [Nienaber] was referring to is there are no guarantees in sport, is there?" Cullen said.

"So, I think what he is trying to get across, is that when there is a lot of flak on the team from media, sometimes a club will make changes, and I think that is what he was referring to.

"But I think in his own mind, yes, he is fully committed to Leinster so please don't get confused by that and I would be of the same opinion as well."
