If Lionel Messi produced a touch of the grace and skill that facilitated Keith Earls’ try against Glasgow Warriors this past weekend, our time-line would be inundated with football fans praising his footballing ability.

A raking Ian Keatley kick found the Irish international out wide and his first touch, which oozed of class, bounced the ball into his hands for a try of brilliant proportions.

Leinster were looking to make it 2 in a row with a win over Glasgow, while Glasgow wanted to make history and win their first title.

The game was fiercely contested up until half time with a score of 14-12 to Leinster on 40 minutes. Leinster came out all guns blazing in the second half and put the game to bed with tries from Gordon D’arcy and a second of the game for Zane Kirchner.

Today also was the end of an era as Leo Cullen & Brian O’Driscoll hung up their boots for the final time. It was a pity to see O’Driscoll to go off injured within 10 minutes but it wasn’t a bad season to finish on either.

Here are a look at some of the best images from today’s game:

It doesn’t seem so long ago he took part in the miracle comeback in Paris in 2000. It is crazy to think the greatest Irish sportsman is finally hanging up his boots.

With the chance of one last piece of silverware tomorrow in the PRO12 Final against Glasgow, it couldn’t have been set up any better for him to say goodbye.

All rugby fans from across the globe can appreciate what O’Driscoll has achieved over the years and the moments of brilliance he has produced time and time again.

From RBP, we salute you Brian!
