    Very grateful to Ulster for playing dumb as bricks rugby.

    Must be close to the least amount of possession Leinster has ever had at home in the opening 15 minutes. Ulster has dominated possession and territory. Leinster look comfortable in defence, but eventually the amount of tackles we have to make will become an issue as fatigue hits.

    Ulster try was eventually coming. Can't give a side all that possession and expect them to not score.

    Can Leinster wake up now please?

    It's been ages since I've seen an Ireland or Leinster fullback drop a high ball. Keenan is just so solid and consistent (and Kearney before him) that you could take it for granted.

    Good score form ulster. Very fast recycling and its hard to keep a team frommscoringbif they can do that consistently. Well deserved by ulster but leinster is miles off the pace.

    Molony not releasing, but Timoney never rolled after making the tackle either.

    Leavy is hurt.

    Physio shaking his head. Think it's his head?

    Doesn't look good for leavy.

    Surprised hia, he didn't even look at moving from when he went down. Was worried his knee was gone

    I'm pretty sure Leinster has had zero possession in Ulster's half after 20 minutes of this game.

    Ah Leavy. If he didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any at all at this stage.

    Leinster have been awful this half. The backs look zippy, but the forwards aren't at the races. Lost the collisions during the phases after the first attacking lineout.

    What is going on with our lineout. First one was poor, second was terrible, third a complete mess.

    Byrne and Frawley did excellently to read that Ulster attack and intercept.

    Bit very poor play from Leinster afterwards. They never backed them up at the ruck.

    Frawley is an absolute baller.

    Want to have a look at Gilroy blocking that kick through.

    The Leinster pack look like they spent the last month in the pub.

    Frawley, at least, is really having a very good game thus far.

    That’s a penalty against Gilroy.

    Ulster are offside all the time.

    Ulster have been very offside for the last few phases.

    McGraths pass seems slow and loopy left to right

    Backs doing a good job for Leinster, but the forwards really haven't been at the races.

    I'm glad to see it. We've been far too passive in the last few games.

    You could see the thought "Do I Keith Wood this or not?" flashing across the cranium.

    Furlong does have a point there.

    That's a joke, should have been a Leinster peno for holding on

    Ross Byrne is far too predictable and slow. Get Harry on

    That’s not a penalty. Furlong is fully entitled to go for that. Murphy is an awful, awful referee.
