Personally would've given motm to Fardy. Leinster have been dominant up front and given the backs an excellent platform to work from. Fardy's been the dominant forward today.

But Larmour is a good choice anyway. He's fearless in the way he plays, but makes good decisions on the ball. Knows when to pass or kick and when the chance to break is on.

Deserving though it's hard to tell how impressive that is, Ulster have been awful.

I really hope that's not Bowe going off again.

Edit: Looks like it, classy from the Leinster fans clapping Bowe off, incredibly popular player but sadly the body has given in.

Never thought Ulster had much of a chance of winning tonight, but this is probably a better result long term than a close loss. This will have sealed Kiss fate with the fans.

Once again Johnny McPhillips is having an impressive cameo. Very impressive actually.

Leinster were MILES offside for that steal.

A lot of 9/10 phase attacks going absolutely nowhere for Ulster tonight.

Ulster have given up.

That alone reflects very poorly on both the coaches and players.

I have to doff my cap to Leinster for that try.

That's lovely work from all involved in that try.

McCarthy's break, Sexton's flat skip pass and Henshaw's soft hands for the offload.

Henshaws hands there awesome

Lovely hands again try Larmour

Ringrose will have a bit of ligament damage in his ankle, maybe a but of a strain in his knee but judging by the way he walked off we'll see him in 2 - 3 weeks.

Healy looks like he was just on a burgling spree

Has Jamie Heaslip joined the Peaky Blinders?

BBC just confused Cronin for Larmour. Brilliant

Depends where you landed. Was it Dublin?

Very.

Seemed to be walking off albeit gingerly

[Deleted User]

Hopefully him 'walking' off means that's not as ominous as it could be?

Larmour has been Jack McGrath-esque

Looked very bad on replay but hopefully not a long term one if he was able to walk off the pitch.

Our passive defence is the coaches fault.

Cave and Stockdale didn't even slow down Porter. They turned over their ball in the opposition 22, so the defence isn't aligned in any way shape or form, you have got to make the tackles to give your side the chance to get into shape.

They didn't even make half tackles.

Yes Emmet, that one incident isn't Kiss's fault, but in general Leinster have all the time in the world on the ball. Ulster's defensive strategy is not working.
