Ulster miss fire as Leinster cruise to victory
Leinster made it 15 from 15 with a 10-28 win over Ulster in the final round of the regular season in the Pro14. Leinster got off to the perfect start with an early try and kept the scoreboard ticking over, slotting two first half penalties to take a 13-0 lead into halftime.
An early second half penalty extended Leinsters lead, but Ulster hit back with a try to get back into the match at 16-7. Ulster then made it a one score ball game, kicking a penalty to trail by just six points with 12 minutes remaining. However, Leinster would show their class, running in two tries inside the final ten minutes to seal the victory and complete a perfect regular season in the Pro14. Both sides qualify for the semi-finals, with Ulster playing Edinburgh, while Leinster will face either Munster or the Scarlets.
Marcell Coetzee and Stuart McCloskey put their hands up for the Ulstermen with Jacob Stockdale doing well before going off injured.
A number of the Leinster side performed well on the day with Ciaran Frawley, Will Connors and Max Deegan all good on the day.
