In a highly anticipated Champions Cup semi-final held at Croke Park, Dublin, Leinster secured a commanding victory over Northampton Saints with a score of 15-3 in front of 82,300 fans. The match, which marked the first non-GAA event at the venue in over 15 years, saw Leinster's James Lowe scoring a hat-trick, contributing significantly to the team's win. The game was noted for its intense breakdowns and strategic plays, with Leinster's scrum-half Gibson-Park playing a pivotal role in the team's attacks, including a notable quick tap that led to a try. This victory propels Leinster into the final, continuing their pursuit of another European title.

The breakdown intensity of this game is absurd. #LEIvNOR #ChampionsCup
Brilliant touch from Gibson-Park. He's been running this game so far. https://t.co/4sgJDbIzor #LEIvNOR
What an atmosphere 😍 📍 Croke Park, Dublin #LEIvNOR | #InvestecChampionsCup https://t.co/YnocbUGZ9q
Gibson-Park alert with the quick tap. Flings it wide for James Lowe in the corner. 🔵 7-0 😇 12’
Gibson-Park so sharp. The main man in Leinster's attack. #LEI
Northampton’s strength is their ability to cut open the wide channels. If they can get over Leinster’s blitz, then there could be plenty of opportunities. However, Freeman is a very different centre to Hutchinson who is the master at this. https://t.co/QQZ84ZcVZN
