Leinster secured second place in the United Rugby Championship (URC) table with a dominant 68-14 victory over Ospreys at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, 16 May 2026. The defending champions scored 10 tries, with lock Joe McCarthy leading the way with a hat-trick.
Other try scorers included James Lowe, Caelan Doris, and Jordan Larmour, as Leinster ran in seven tries in the first half alone. The bonus-point win ensures Leinster will have home advantage in the playoffs, including a potential final if they reach it.
Ospreys, who were already eliminated from playoff contention, scored two tries through Keelan Giles and Luke Morgan. Leinster's victory sets up a quarterfinal clash at the RDS Arena next weekend.
