PICS: A Huge Crowd Turned Out To Welcome The Leinster Rugby Heroes Home

Leo Cullen and his Leinster heroes made a triumphant return to Irish soil today after clinching their fourth Champions Cup in Bilbao yesterday.

Fans were invited to welcome them back at a special event in Donnybrook Stadium and judging by these pics they turned out in force. The sun managed to stay out for most of the day as Johnny Sexton et al took to the stage to greet the fans.

Leinster defeated French side Racing 92 15-12 to claim the prize which they also won in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
