Leinster will be looking to retain their PRO14 title when they take on 2014/15 champions Glasgow on Saturday the 25th of May.
The 2018/19 PRO14 final is set to be an epic one with mighty Leinster taking on a free-flowing Glasgow outfit at Celtic Park. Both teams thoroughly deserve their spots in the final having topped their respective conferences during the regular season.

Leinster
It was always going to be tough for Leinster to repeat the feats of last season. And while they did come up short in their quest to retain their Champions Cup crown, they can still pick up some silverware by beating the Warriors this Saturday and retain their PRO14 crown.
The Irish province had a tough old semi-final battle with local rivals Munster last weekend but a solid second-half showing saw them run out 24-9 victors. While they were far from their best with ball-in-hand, Leinster were superb defensively and didn’t allow Munster to breach their try line.
Leinster will need to be at their peak defensively again this weekend as Glasgow are a brilliant attacking side.
Glasgow
The Warriors were absolutely magnificent in their semi-final against Ulster last weekend as they blitzed their opponents 50-20. They were absolutely unplayable during the second-half and if there backs fire in the same sort of manner this weekend then they may just pull off an upset.
Glasgow will be quietly confident heading into this one as they have already beaten Leinster this year when they ran out 24-39 victors last month. The win went some way to vanquishing the ghosts of last season’s 55-19 Champions Cup Pool phase defeat to Leinster.
Verdict: Glasgow 11/20
I’m backing the underdogs to come out on top here. Leinster look like a side who are running on fumes while the Warriors look like a team that are just getting into top gear. I can see the Scottish side sneaking a famous win here.
