In 2024-25, Leinster lost two matches from 18 in the league before sailing on to win the championship, beating the side that defeated them last week, Glasgow, in the semi-final. BKT United Rugby Championship, Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow, where Glasgow Warriors' Macenzzie Duncan goes over for a try. With the Champions Cup quarter-final on the horizon, Leinster’s season could implode or grow wings in both competitions over the next three weeks. It’s not uncommon in Leinster or Ireland that players can occasionally drift from the fundamentals of hitting 100 per cent every game. The plan is for a deep run in the Champions Cup and ultimately home draws in the playoff phases of the URC.
