Watch - Stormers lose it as Munster shock Leinster in Dublin

By Rugby365
John Dobson celebrates in Cape Town.

Watch the wild scenes as Steven Kitshoff and his Stormers teammates celebrated Munster’s win over Leinster in the United Rugby Championship semi-final.

The Stormers, who edged a willing Irish province Connacht 43-25 in their semi-final in Cape Town at the weekend, then watched Munster’s surprise win over Leinster in Dublin in the other semi-final this weekend.

The Capetonians celebrated wildly as they earned the rights to host the Final after Munster slotted a late drop-goal to defeat their arch-rivals Leinster 16-15 in Dublin.

It is the second consecutive season that Leinster stumbled in the semifinals of the URC.

The Stormers, as the highest-ranked team in the final, will host the match in Cape Town on Saturday, May 27.

Munster will travel to Cape Town with confidence after their recent victory in the Mother City, where they became only the second team to beat the 2022 champions at their home ground.

Munster are unbeaten in four games after getting smashed by the Sharks in the Heineken Champions Cup at the start of April.
