    There is a 2010-2012 ruthlessness about Leinster on both sides of the ball

    Tommy Bowe is in a sling. Gutted for him. He deserves so much better for what he has contributed to Irish Rugby.

    Fcuk off Les Kiss.

    Your team has crap forwards. A coach made from a mixture of Schmidt, Jones, and Hansen would barely do any better imo.

    Time to accept reality.

    Robson called it right in the first half, Ulster are muck. But Leinster are building a serious side at the moment. Credit to Leocaster.

    Nice to see Porter and Deegan start to show their full skillsets. Power and finesse.

    There was one major positive for Ulster tonight:

    Jordi Murphy was very good.

    Larmour is beefy enough for a 20 year old back.

    Regardless of the realities of the situation, the losses to Connacht and Leinster and the manner in which they happened coupled with that first half performance against Munster is going to be too much for fans to stomach. He's almost certainly done if Ulster fail to make the last 8 in Europe.

    All that said however...

    Telling someone to 'fcuk off' is much more personal and hate filled than Les Kiss deserves. It's actually quite sad.

    I’m struggling to think of a single Leinster player in that game who was a bit meh. From 1 to 23 that was really very good. You get the impression Leinster A and Leinster B would play out the Pro 14 final if 2 teams were allowed.

    It’s (very) rare that I get a bit jealous about other countries outside back prospects but Jordan Larmour is the Jordie Barrett of Irish rugby. He is like Christian Cullen or Joe Rococoko at the start of their careers. Mesmerising footwork combined with pace.

    Also, JGP was actually pretty decent tonight. But I’m thinking he is making way for James Lowe as Fardy is undroppable.

    I think Lowe will have next week off, actually. McFadden, Larmour and Daly all looking comfortable along with RK and Nacewa. Lowe looks great but if they were going to drop JGP they wouldn't have left McCarthy on the bench until very late and the game was long won.

    This might have nothing to do with it. (Greg Jones is quite slight), but the St Andrews SCT coach, David Jones is obsessed with S&C. Porter came through that programme.

    He's leaned down quite a bit from u20 believe it or not. Supposed to be an absolute monster in the gym, a few of the senior players have spoken about it in interviews

    Larmour was beefy enough a year and a half ago the first time I saw him so you might be right
