Stormers head coach John Dobson on Premier Sports: "Very disappointed [with red card]

"It's not good for rugby that card we gave away. That's a shoulder to the head at a critical time when we were 13-11. It was devastating for us.

"I apologise to Leinster because it's not what we want to see in rugby.

"Once we were down to 13 men, it was over as a contest.

"I thought we fought well to be there on 68 minutes and in the game against a good Leinster team, who were playing with some rhythm. I expected us to fight and I think we did that."

Leinster and their fans will celebrate tonight, but there will be some concerns regarding the injury Andrew Porter picked up, amongst a few other knocks.

However, they will have a couple weeks to reset and get ready for the big final.

Leinster are really, really good at frustrating teams and making them make mistakes.

They hold onto the ball really well and force errors.

I thought tactically the Stormers substitutions were at the wrong time, I would have kept my frontline on a little longer.

That has to reflect on the coaches.

More from Doris on Premier Sports:

When asked what needs to change ahead of the final:"How clinical we can be.

"When we get into the opposition's 22, converting. It is the big moments in finals that make the difference, discipline as well and it is always going to be a physical game against Bulls."

When asked about Bulls: "We have a good rivalry against Bulls over the years and a lot of respect with how they play. We have had some big contests with them in recent games.

"We have a special group and quite a number of guys moving on at the end of the season. It has been a big motivator for us at the knockout stages to extend the season and enjoy our time together."

Leinster captain Caelan Doris on Premier Sports:

"A proper knockout game that.

"There were a few chances at the end of the first half that we left out there and they potentially change the outcome of the game if we convert them. Credit to Stormers.

"Delighted with the end result and to be in another final is a massive privilege for the group."

At the big moments you want big players to step up. In that moment, Jamison Gibson-Park was sharp enough to react fastest and coasted through.

He has been a wonderful servant for Leinster rugby and Irish rugby.

Man of the Match Jamison Gibson-Park on Premier Sports:

"I think we made it pretty difficult for ourselves, but credit to the Stormers as they are a class side.

"We have respect for them and a good bit of history. The main thing is we were able to get it over the line.

"A good bit to review, but we are happy with the result."

Bulls will know this Leinster team is beatable, you just can't give them any space.

I think the Stormers defended brilliantly, I really do. They just couldn't get their attacking game going or do enough against the Leinster team.

Leinster deserved to win the game, they dominated possession and territory.

It will be a repeat of last year's final after all.

A huge affair at Croke Park awaits us in a fortnight's time, as Leinster book there place in the Grand Final against the Bulls.

Wow! Harry Byrne sends the ball flying out into the crowd and Leinster have done enough.

The defending champions will face the Bulls in the URC Grand Final.

Well, that's not bad for someone who was just down getting treatment!

Hugo Keenan goes racing downfield towards the Stormers' territory.

Leinster will now have the last play of the game with less than a minute left on the clock.

Hugo Keenan receives medical attention.

It looks like he got his foot caught nastily but he'll play on. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

The scoreline does not really reflect what a true contest this has been.

Just as he leaves the pitch, we get confirmation that Jamison Gibson-Park is today's Player of the Match.

What a ridiculously good player. Insane rugby IQ, game control and, of course, the try that has extended Leinster's lead to most likely book their place in the URC Grand Final.

Very well deserved.

We're into the final five minutes of this semi-final!

The visiting side are now down to 13 and a stunning kick from Jimmy O'Brien sends Leinster straight back down into the Stormers' territory.

It's starting to feel like the cogs are turning back into Leo Cullen's side's favour.

It goes from bad to worse news for the Stormers, with confirmation that Ruan Ackermann's card has been upgraded to a red card.

Not sure he can have many complaints, high degree of danger and no mitigation.

It's two yellow cards in quick succession for the Stormers...

Hollie Davidson immediately blows her whistle and Salmaan Moerat is sent to the sin bin for an unnatural move.

Moerat's foot knocks the ball loose as Jamison Gibson-Park picks the ball up from the back of a ruck.
