Billy Vunipola was again the centre of attention as he helped Saracens power into the Champions Cup final.

Man-of-the-match Vunipola, who was booed throughout, was briefly confronted by a Munster fan after his late try sealed victory for Sarries.

Vunipola was formally warned by English rugby bosses this week after defending Israel Folau's social media post in which he said "hell awaits" gay people.

His score was Sarries' second try in Coventry - after team-mate Michael Rhodes crossed. Darren Sweetnam went over for Munster.

Owen Farrell kicked six penalties and converted both tries to take two-time champions Sarries to their fourth final in six seasons.

Mark McCall's side will face either Leinster or Toulouse, who meet on Sunday, in the final at Newcastle's St James' Park on 11 May.
