Croke Park confirmed for URC final if Leinster beat Glasgow on Saturday
Croke Park will host the BTK URC Grand Final if Leinster beat Glasgow Warriors, it has been confirmed.
Leinster's ground, the RDS, is undergoing redevelopment works and the club have been using Aviva Stadium and Croke Park for their homes games for the last two seasons.
A crowd of 12,879 saw Leo Cullen's side beat Scarlets in the quarter-final on Saturday.
Leinster used Croke Park, the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association, to host Munster in round four of the URC last October and Harlequins in April in the Champions Cup last-16.
If Leinster, who last won the tournament in 2021, lose to Warriors, the final will take place in South Africa.
This weekend's other semi-final sees the Bulls host Sharks, who knocked out Munster, in Pretoria.
Meanwhile, Jordan Larmour (above) has returned to full training after recovering from injury and will be available for selection this week.
Flanker Josh van der Flier, who is part of Andy Farrell's Lions squad, will be further assessed this week for a hamstring injury he picked up in Saturday's win before a final decision will be made on his availability.
Centre Garry Ringrose (calf) and wing Tommy O'Brien (foot) will also be assessed during the week.
