Leinster weather squalls and Ulster's storm for Belfast victory (Irish Examiner)

The visitors led by 17 points shortly after the intervalbut a John Andrew score on the hour lit the touch paper for Ulster's response.

That it came from their first offering only added to the strength of the blow. Then Jimmy O’Brien was given a yellow card and John Andrew went over for Ulster’s first try from a maul of their own. Ulster had ten in their XV – and would have loved it if Rob Baloucoune and a few more of their lads were at home and not on an Emerging Ireland tour. Ross Byrne added the conversion before they put together another impressive defensive shift that halted an Ulster maul inches from their line. A guaranteed video nasty when Ulster go through the tape next week. From small acorns and all that…

United Rugby Championship: Ulster aiming to maintain their ... (Belfast Media)

IT'S just the third game of the United Rugby Championship (URC) season but it is already one of the marquee fixtures for Ulster as they host Leinster at the ...

Over the past five or six seasons they have been the team to beat, so that’s obviously a really exciting challenge. “In the first 10 minutes, you could see just how good it was. “It’s one of the biggest games of the year, if not, the biggest game of the year in terms of interest, and the fact that it’s a home game for us,” said head coach, Dan McFarland. “Leinster is a team that plays really good rugby, and they will test us both sides of the ball. “They have a very experienced team, depending on who comes up, but they have talent all across the board and I think it will be a really good challenge for us.” “It was a tough year to watch the lads play and not be involved in the game, so to be back on the pitch and have three games under my belt now is pretty good and hopefully I can get a few more.”

Ulster settled and went on to enjoy their most productive spell of the half. Byrne added the conversion for a healthy eleven-point lead. To make matters worse, Ulster lost Rob Herring to injury. Leinster showed their intent as early as the 7th minute. Cooney gave them something else to cheer about when he kicked a penalty with seven minutes to go, but it was as close as Ulster got as the visitors held on for the win. But Leo Cullen’s men were ruthless in that first period.
