Leinster Face Scarlets In Pro 14 Final Saturday
Leinster Face Scarlets In Pro 14 Final Saturday
It's meeting #4 between Leinster and the Scarlets, this time in the Pro 14 Final.
The first season of the Pro 14 that included South African team is now in its final throes with Saturday's final at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and it's an Irish-Welsh finale.
Leinster takes on the Scarlets Saturday night (kickoff 12:30pm CT) LIVE on FloRugby.
Coming off a title run in the European Championship, Leinster is looking to accomplish the very difficult task of winning two major championships in the same season. The Scarlets are relishing the warmer, and somewhat drier, weather of late spring and using those conditions to open up their game.

As a result, Leinster will be hard-pressed to contain the vaunted attacking play of the Welsh team. It promises to be a tight one. These two teams met a year ago in the semifinals, with the Scarlets emerging 27-15 winners. The teams have three times in 2018 so far, with Leinster winning 20-13 in February, the two teams tying 10-10 in March, and Leinster taking the European Champions Cup semi 38-16 in Aviva Stadium April 21.
"We want to do right by Isa, as we've said, but also the supporters that have come out to back the team."
