A key player for Leinster has been ruled out on the eve of Saturday’s Vodacom URC final against the Bulls at Croke Park.
The Irish giants have announced that Ireland scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park is unavailable due an undisclosed injury. Replacement Luke McGrath will start at No 9, with 22-year-old Fintan Gunne coming on to the bench.

Leo Cullen’s men are bidding to win a maiden URC title in Dublin, and end their trophy drought at home for the first time since 2018.
However, the Bulls have beaten Leinster four times in six meetings in the competition, including two semi-finals – one famously at the RDS Arena in 2022 – and make their third final appearance in four URC campaigns.
🚨 Squad Update: unfortunately Jamison Gibson-Park has been ruled out this morning. Best of luck to Luke McGrath who starts and Academy scrum-half Fintan Gunne named on the bench.#LEIvBUL #NeverLessThanEverything pic.twitter.com/uxTKav1Lc0
