The disappointment of defeat is hard but hats off to Leinster they were very good.
Ulster missed a number of key men and when the substitutions came on there was a real gear change for Ulster.

The guys never gave up and we can’t help thinking what might have been had O’Brien not got through for the first try. The depth of Ulster scrummaging is awesome and great to see the younger players getting game time and experience against some of the best.
Final Score: Ulster 13 Leinster 30. Ulster’s points came through Gilroy (1 try) and O’Connor (2 penalties and 1 conversion).
Great work from the supporters and staff for getting the ground ready, the build up to the game was excellent and the superb support just shows the depth of the sport.
