Leinster head coach Leo Cullen praised his side's clinical attacking game after they booked their place in the final of the Heineken Champions Cup.
The four-time champions reached the decider for the fourth time in six seasons, after an emphatic 41-22 victory against Toulouse.
The game swung Leinster's way following two yellow cards for the French side; the first when Thomas Ramos was sin-binned on 15 minutes following a deliberate knock-on, and the second when Rodrigue Neti was carded for a head contact on Josh van der Flier during the second half.
On each of those occasions, Leinster pounced in their numerical advantage to score two tries, with 28 of their 41 points coming during the yellow-card periods.
"We're delighted to be through to a final, which is great," the Leinster head coach told RTÉ Sport.
"There was plenty of good stuff in the game. When Ramos goes to the bin we get a couple of tries during that period, and I thought the guys were pretty clinical at important stages."
And Cullen was also thrilled with the variety of Leinster's scores, working Toulouse in the tight with some impressive mauling, and also finding space out wide for Jack Conan [below] to score a couple of first-half tries.
"The tries come in different ways, exploiting the short side and being able to see where the space is. Forwards going to work and delivering on a couple of lineout drives from the maul. Overall it's pleasing because there's a bit of variety in our game, and that's a thing we're trying to develop all the time.
"We're delighted to be through, but it's a semi-final, and that's about eking through by even a point, and delivering a better performance in the final."
Toulouse's first half indiscipline contributed heavily to their downfall, much to the ire of their head coach Ugo Mola.
"It was 0-28 when it was 14 men against 15 and 22-13 when it was 15 against 15," the Toulouse boss said.
"If we had played 15 against 15 for the whole match it might have been different."
Mola appeared to be frustrated that Leinster didn't get a sin-binning of their own though, with Andrew Porter escaping punishment for a possible tip-tackle on Juan Cruz Mallia in the build-up to Toulouse's second try.
The five-time champions had brought the score back to 27-14 at that stage, and Mola [below] believes it was a game-changing moment.
"We could have been in a position to get back into it. It could have been a turning point. We were just 13 points behind then. There are a lot of things which didn't go in our favour.
"We could have played 15 against 14 but the foul was not mentioned. Wayne Barnes is a high-level referee but, at that time, there was a wait for a potential try and this foul was not whistled," he added.
Leinster will face either defending champions La Rochelle or Exeter Chiefs in the final on 20 May.
It will be the first time since 1999 that an Irish side will contest a final on home soil, and after missing out on getting to the previous Lansdowne Road finals in 2003 and 2013, Cullen says it's a special achievement for Leinster.
"It's amazing, and that's what we've talked about. I've talked in the media a few times in the course of the last while about that 2003 experience, which still haunts me, when we lost in the old Lansdowne Road against Perpignan.
"You watched two French teams [in the 2003 final], that was a pretty painful memory, and even in 2013 we played in the final of the Amiln [Challenge Cup] up the road, and there were two French teams here.
"It's great to be in a final now, and hopefully it's going to be a special day. There will be a fair old demand for tickets, but this what we wanted all season. Everyone has worked their butts off to get to this point, both players and backroom team management, all the office staff, so it's great.
"We're delighted to be through to a final which is great. It's just trying to keep a lid on it now. There was a lot of hype after the semi-final against Toulouse last year and we didn't deliver our best game in the final. That's what we have to try focus on."
