A new name will grace Division 1A of the Ulster Bank League next season after Banbridge and UCC came through two high-scoring play-off semi-finals. Bann will have home advantage in next Saturday's promotion decider against the Cork students.

Racing 92 ripped the Munster defence to shreds with three tries in the opening 21 minutes, setting up an eventual 27-22 win at Stade Chaban-Delmas and their second Champions Cup final appearance.

Munster's semi-final takes them to a 28-degree heat of Bordeaux this afternoon as they look to defeat Racing 92 for the fifth time in seven meetings and set up an all-Irish Champions Cup final against Leinster.

Leinster will contest their first Champions Cup final since 2012 after swatting the Scarlets aside in an utterly-dominant 38-16 win at the Aviva Stadium.
