LEINSTER’S BID FOR a record fifth Champions Cup crown fell short in Newcastle this evening, as Leo Cullen’s side suffered their first European final defeat to an awesome Saracens outfit.
The province squandered a 10-point lead as the English side rebounded emphatically to score 20 unanswered points, through tries either side of the break from Sean Maitland and Billy Vunipola.
