URC: Leinster increase Aviva capacity to 27,000 in anticipation of an epic semi-final showdown with Munster

Skehan’s side completed a four-trophy haul to round off the greatest season in the club’s 63-year history. Amid raucous celebrations in Lakelands Park that are sure to go on for a few days and nights, captain Harrison Brewer reflected on the greatest day in Terenure’s history: “It just means everything to us and our community. We’re going to party hard for a week now in Lakelands, I’m buzzing for it.

Munster's Malakai Fekitoa scores a try against Glasgow Warriors in the URC quarter-final at Scotstoun on Saturday.

“Because they weren’t featuring last week, that’s their sole focus and that makes that very dangerous because teams can get a bit distracted if your eyes are on two different things. Whatever group plays for us next week, we just need to be fully focused on that task.”Munster’s win at Glasgow came at a huge cost after a ferocious, bruising encounter, with heads knocks to RG Snyman, Conor Murray, Malakai Fekitoa and Calvin Nash likely to rule them out, and Peter O’Mahony also forced off early.
