On Saturday evening, before a sellout crowd at Kingspan Stadium, Ulster faced arch-rivals Leinster in a crucial United Rugby Championship game. Earlier game results meant that it was a must win game for Ulster to maintain a top 8 spot for the play offs and a top 7 spot for European Champions Cup, next season.
Ulster meant business from kick off, camping in the Leinster 22. Early on, Mike Lowry had 2 tries chalked out, after consultation with the TMO, before Rob Herring grabbed a try, at the base of a driving maul. John Cooney’s conversion put Ulster 7-0 up, after 13 minutes.
Ulster had the best of the first 25 minutes but couldn’t add to their score.
