Leinster Vs Scarlets In Pro 14 Final: How Did They Get There?

Leinster plays Scarlets in the PRO 14 Final Saturday afternoon LIVE on FloRugby, and here's how it all shook down.

After starting off brilliantly, Leinster hit a rough patch late in the season. But the Irish team pulled it together to win the European Champions Cup, and then edged Munster in the Pro 14 semis to book a spot in the final.

The Scarlets ended up with the same record as Leinster, but took 2nd on the tiebreaker. That meant an extra playoff game, which the Scarlets won, making this an all Conference B clash for the title.
