Bulls edge Leinster to reach URC final
Updated | By AFP
The Bulls of South Africa edged Leinster 27-26 to reach the United Rugby Championship final on Friday as the Irish province ended trophyless for the first time in five years.
Bulls will face either Stormers or Ulster, who meet Saturday, for the title.
A late Morne Steyn penalty settled Friday's game after Bulls had also led 17-14 at half-time with tries from Johan Grobbelaar and captain Marcell Coetzee.
Robbie Henshaw and Dan Sheehan crossed for Leinster but a 52nd-minute penalty try gave the Bulls a 10-point lead.

Rory O'Loughlin and Cian Healy scored tries for the Irish province but the Bulls, coached by World Cup winner Jake White, held on.
Steyn's key 76th-minute penalty meant Healy's last-gasp try was too little, too late.
