Leinster Beat Scarlets Amid Injury Concerns

Leinster reached the United Rugby Championship semi-finals with a 33-21 win over Scarlets at the Aviva Stadium, but the victory was overshadowed by injuries to key players Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan, and RG Snyman. Despite an early lead through tries from James Lowe, Jamison Gibson-Park, Jamie Osborne, and Hugo Keenan, Leinster's error-prone display allowed Scarlets to stay competitive. Late penalties and yellow cards against Scarlets ultimately secured Leinster's win. Pundits and coaches expressed concerns about Leinster's form as they prepare to host Glasgow in the semi-finals. Scarlets, despite the defeat, qualified for next season's Investec Champions Cup. The win keeps Leinster's pursuit of their first trophy since 2021 alive.
