I popped down to the IRFU High Performance Centre on Sunday afternoon to catch the U18 Girls Development Interprovincial between Ulster and Leinster.

The game quickly set into a pattern of Leinster attacking and Ulster defending. Ulster had a few chances to clear their lines but Leinster were winning the breakdown battle and they continued to keep Ulster pinned in their own half until Niamh Murphy crossed out wide for an unconverted try after 13 minutes.

Ulster started to make some progress up the pitch but they were mostly individual efforts and turned over too easily and a counter attack by Leinster saw Rebecca Brennan battle over in the corner for their second try after 25 minutes.
