Full-Time: Leinster 42-13 UIster
17.31 – Who are the Ulster newbies? The centre-pairing of Chris Farrell and Michael Allen are both among the first-timers, with Peter Nelson popping his cherry at full back.
James McKinney makes his first start alongside Paul Marshall in the half-back line, while Phoenix Academy winger Chris Cochrane is on the wing.
Callum Black will debut at loosehead prop and Ali Birch plays at openside flanker.
And off we go…
17.34 – Leinster 0-0 Ulster: The wind is very strong and favouring Leinster in this first half. A low-key start to the game…
18.16 – Leinster 21-6 Ulster: Leo Auva’a takes advantage of some awful defending from Robbie Diack and the home side will g0 into the break with a 15-point lead at half-time. We’ll be back for the second half.
18.37 – Leinster 21-6 Ulster: Shane Jennings and the referee discuss Mike Ross’ binding. The experienced Ross faces a yellow card if he keeps offending.
19.14 – Leinster 42-13 Ulster: Ulster’s inexperienced defence have completely collapsed, and it’s no surprise when replacement forward Jamie Hagan drives over.
