(Reuters) -Three early tries helped Irish side Leinster to a comprehensive 32-7 victory over South Africa’s Bulls in the United Rugby Championship (URC) final in Dublin on Saturday and a record-extending ninth title.

The hosts were clinical with their early burst as the rain poured down, with number eight Jack Conan, centre Jordie Barrett and flanker Josh van der Flier crossing the line, before Fintan Gunne's late try finished off an outstanding display.
