Naas native Osborne among scorers as Leinster cruise into semi-finals

The affair ended 43-13 in Leinster's favour against Sale Sharks.

Leinster rugby booked their place in the Investec Champions Cup semi-finals with a commanding 43-13 win over Sale Sharks at the Aviva Stadium.

The province ran in six tries in a dominant display, with early momentum set by Dan Sheehan's opening score before further tries from Hugo Keenan, Ryan Baird, Rieko Ioane, and Tommy O'Brien stretched the advantage.

There was also a local boost from Jamie Osborne, the Naas native crossing late on to cap off an impressive team performance and underlining Leinster's attacking depth.

Sale struggled to keep pace throughout, with George Ford contributing points from the tee, while a yellow card to Dan du Preez before half-time no doubt added to their difficulties.

Leinster now turn their attention to a semi-final meeting with Toulon, although injuries to key players including Josh van der Flier will be a concern heading into the next round.
