:00:35. > :00:41.It is the last game of the season for Ulster and a final hurrah for

:00:42. > :00:46.some coaching staff and players. The club's most capped player Roger

:00:47. > :00:51.Wilson hangs up his boots and Ruan Pienaar prepares to say an emotional

:00:52. > :00:57.farewell. Leinster provide the opposition and it is an opportunity

:00:58. > :01:02.for Ulster to try and finish their inconsistent season on a positive

:01:03. > :01:10.note. A full house is expected for this inter-pro clash. Good evening

:01:11. > :01:16.and welcome to Ulster Rugby live on this gloriously sunny evening in

:01:17. > :01:20.Belfast. Stephen Ferris and Eddie O'Sullivan are with us. Leinster

:01:21. > :01:24.qualified for a home semifinal, Ulster cannot make the play-offs,

:01:25. > :01:30.they can restore a bit of pride tonight with a win, but that is only

:01:31. > :01:34.papering over the cracks of what has been a disappointing season. When

:01:35. > :01:38.you see the depth of the squad that Ulster have, it is sad they are not

:01:39. > :01:47.near the play-offs. The big problem has been a lack of consistency over

:01:48. > :01:49.80 minutes. It has been their bugbear and it has caused problems.

:01:50. > :01:54.They only have themselves to blame. Big night for a player you played

:01:55. > :02:01.with, Roger player -- Roger Wilson, he has had 338 appearances. The big

:02:02. > :02:05.man has a lot of mileage under his belt. He has properly played the

:02:06. > :02:09.best rugby of his career at Northampton. He has been an all

:02:10. > :02:14.stressed all work and hopefully we give him a good sendoff. Getting a

:02:15. > :02:18.sendoff is Ruan Pienaar after seven years that Ulster, he does not want

:02:19. > :02:23.to leave, Ulster do not want him to leave but he has to go to Montpelier

:02:24. > :02:30.and he will be a mass of loss. Yes because of the impact he has had. It

:02:31. > :02:41.is tough on his family. They are happy here. This tie earlier in the

:02:42. > :02:45.season, typifies the man. It sums him up, he was covering and started

:02:46. > :02:48.it off I go. Who is on the end, the work great he has, rubs off on

:02:49. > :02:54.others and two scores to try against Glasgow. I've played many times with

:02:55. > :02:59.him. He is a gentleman. I think I speak on the half of everyone, we

:03:00. > :03:03.wish all the best. It will be a tough test for Ulster because

:03:04. > :03:07.Leinster have a very good team and they will want to turn on a good

:03:08. > :03:11.performance ahead of the play-offs. They have been on a good run of form

:03:12. > :03:17.and they will want to keep that pot boiling. They have picked a

:03:18. > :03:22.reasonably strong team. They will not leave anything in the tank and

:03:23. > :03:25.that will make it difficult for the Ulster faithful. It will be a tough

:03:26. > :03:30.fight for Ulster if they do not play well. They need consistency. Thank

:03:31. > :03:34.you. Time to join our commentary team.

:03:35. > :03:42.A glorious afternoon here and there is a man who hasn't a glorious last

:03:43. > :03:48.year or so, picked to be the starting tight head prop in the

:03:49. > :03:53.Lions tour, Furlong. A lot of changes in the Leinster side. Some

:03:54. > :04:03.of the big guns are back, including Toner. Carberry is there. Ringrose

:04:04. > :04:10.unlucky not to be going on the Lions tour.

:04:11. > :04:20.They have come here not just to see the latest instalment of the oldest

:04:21. > :04:26.rivalry in interprovincial rugby, it began 141 years ago, but to say

:04:27. > :04:30.farewell to two significant contributors to Ulster in recent

:04:31. > :04:36.years. They are keeping us waiting in the best traditions. Leinster are

:04:37. > :04:41.champing at the bit. Ulster are still in the dressing room. There is

:04:42. > :04:45.a game on and you will have to come out and face your public, albeit for

:04:46. > :04:52.the very last time in a season which has promised so much, but has

:04:53. > :04:59.delivered so little. The slate will be wiped clean in a couple of hours.

:05:00. > :05:04.Here is one of the greatest servants, despite playing four years

:05:05. > :05:06.of competitive rugby with Northampton, he is still the most

:05:07. > :05:23.capped player in Ulster, Roger Wilson. A tough evening for this

:05:24. > :05:31.fellow. He is with his son. And you can hear the outpouring of emotion.

:05:32. > :05:35.For a man who certainly as far as I am concerned has been the best

:05:36. > :05:42.professional overseas signing that Ulster have ever made. Captain of

:05:43. > :05:46.the side again, Andrew Trimble leads at this Ulster side, just to round

:05:47. > :05:58.off the season with a bit of style and flourish. Upfront, Rob Herring

:05:59. > :06:02.and Rodney Ah You comes in, Robbie Diack accommodates Roger Wilson and

:06:03. > :06:23.the back position is the same. Officiating in the middle in his

:06:24. > :06:27.23rd Guinness Pro12 game is the community development officer from

:06:28. > :06:34.Limerick and Tipperary, Andrew Brace, assisted by John Lacey and

:06:35. > :06:39.Eddie Hogan O'Connell. The TML is another Irish man. It is an all

:06:40. > :06:43.Irish affair. The first time they met was in the old North of Ireland

:06:44. > :06:51.ground when Ulster came through with 1-0. A try by James Heron converted

:06:52. > :06:54.by Robert Walkington. So much for the ancient history lesson and I

:06:55. > :06:59.promise I was not there to commentate on that one! A glorious

:07:00. > :07:02.evening, a little bit of sun in the eyes of Leinster at the moment.

:07:03. > :07:11.Devin Toner as ever blunders forward. Must have been in the frame

:07:12. > :07:16.at some stage for a Lions tour. Tackle by Ulster. Leinster get it

:07:17. > :07:25.away and here is the captain. Saw a bit of a gap and it is clever. Great

:07:26. > :07:43.recovery by Reidy. Charles Piutau. Stepped in side by the six. Off

:07:44. > :07:48.Leinster fit -- Nacewa. You can see the tears streaming down the face of

:07:49. > :07:55.Ruan Pienaar. Huge loyalty, you cannot buy the loyalty of a player,

:07:56. > :08:06.but you can buy loyal players. Ruan Pienaar bod into the culture of

:08:07. > :08:12.Ulster. O'Connor. Jackson. Marshall. Out wide to Sean Reidy who does not

:08:13. > :08:16.seem to be able to make up his mind as to what position he will play. He

:08:17. > :08:24.is pretty handy around the park. Bundled into touch, though. Made the

:08:25. > :08:34.most tackles this season after 21 rounds of the Pro12, two for four

:08:35. > :08:40.made by Reidy. Carbery. Rhys Ruddock, part of an all

:08:41. > :08:46.international breakaway trio. Triggs acts as the foil. This is seven

:08:47. > :09:08.Micro. Trimble got him at the second attempt. -- Byrne. McGrath. Garry

:09:09. > :09:13.Ringrose outside him. The pressure is coming from the table toppers.

:09:14. > :09:20.Looking for it their first title since last year. Leinster feel it is

:09:21. > :09:27.their turn again. Looked like a bit of a high tackle by Ulster, the

:09:28. > :09:33.referee is plain advantage. Nacewa. I think Andrew Brace was on the

:09:34. > :09:37.money there. Zero tolerance for those type of tackles, any contact

:09:38. > :09:43.above the shoulder, Julie penalised. Two different preparations required

:09:44. > :09:48.from these teams at this stage, as we see this tackle coming in, start

:09:49. > :09:52.slow and finishes up. Leinster will want to be business as usual as they

:09:53. > :10:02.progress towards that home semifinal and for Ulster it is about salvaging

:10:03. > :10:08.interprovincial pride. Intriguing encounter in near-perfect

:10:09. > :10:12.conditions. A bit careless and clumsy by Alan O'Connor rather than

:10:13. > :10:16.malicious but either way it is an offence and it is a penalty and this

:10:17. > :10:21.is Joey Carbery who kicked a very late penalty last weekend in Dublin

:10:22. > :10:27.to secure victory over the Glasgow Warriors. Very much a second string

:10:28. > :10:37.team that was put out one week ago but not here tonight.

:10:38. > :10:44.No mistake by Joey Carbery so an early Ulster mistake has cost them.

:10:45. > :10:52.We have played just four minutes and it is 3-0 to Leinster. The perfect

:10:53. > :10:55.start for Leinster. The crowd have been involved from the start and the

:10:56. > :11:00.best way to silence that is points on the border may have done early

:11:01. > :11:04.on. As we mentioned, ten league games in a row that Leinster have

:11:05. > :11:09.one Micro, taking them firmly to the top of the table, not bad restart.

:11:10. > :11:14.That was a Leinster player who cause the ball catcher to fall, good

:11:15. > :11:20.refereeing, nobody panic, Andrew Brace did not panic. Very familiar

:11:21. > :11:25.now with that pod system, the line that 10m line in pairs and getting

:11:26. > :11:29.the player up in the air, no one really interfering, bringing him to

:11:30. > :11:34.ground safely and that caused the knock-on. Garry Ringrose was lifted

:11:35. > :11:37.but there was no one to catch him. Van der Flier flung him up in the

:11:38. > :11:49.air. First scrum of the evening. Leinster about ?5 per man heavier if

:11:50. > :11:56.my sons are right, too enormous prop forwards. A good solid Ulster

:11:57. > :12:02.scrimmage. Ruan Pienaar, Jackson, Charles Piutau comes in, well

:12:03. > :12:08.tackled and away goes Gilroy. Nicely done, Jackson, Andrew Trimble, tries

:12:09. > :12:23.to get away from van der Flier. Picked up nicely by Leinster and by

:12:24. > :12:28.Reidy in centre. -- Noel Reid. All this talk of this being a dead

:12:29. > :12:33.rubber, it is certainly not. Both teams are up for this game, it will

:12:34. > :12:37.be vintage stuff from Ulster earlier on, encouraging signs. The potential

:12:38. > :12:44.could be unleashed in these conditions. They have come here in

:12:45. > :12:49.great numbers to watch this game, nothing in it as far as Ulster are

:12:50. > :12:54.concerned, a minute mathematical chance, they would need to beat

:12:55. > :12:59.Leinster with a bonus point and they need the Ospreys to lose. They need

:13:00. > :13:03.to pick up about 70 points. There is probably more chance of me winning

:13:04. > :13:13.Strictly Come Dancing. Here comes Rob Herring. Stolen by Triggs. Sean

:13:14. > :13:20.Reidy is there. He has been busy. Good work by a youth. -- Ah You.

:13:21. > :13:28.Here comes McCluskey, equally big and strong. Ruan Pienaar again,

:13:29. > :13:33.taken on by Ciaran Chadwell. Leinster player all over that. Ruan

:13:34. > :13:37.Pienaar looks to the right and the left, here is Robbie Diack. He did

:13:38. > :13:43.well to get the body around and Rob Herring is an air. Ruan Pienaar,

:13:44. > :13:51.Jackson, Charles Piutau. Ulster are pressing. Ah You has filled it. The

:13:52. > :13:57.referee says, he is coming back with a penalty. I thought someone from

:13:58. > :14:01.Leinster was offside. Interesting option for Ulster, three points

:14:02. > :14:05.looked pretty easy, across close to the Ulstermen, this could get it in

:14:06. > :14:08.touch, five metres out and trying get the driving ball going. You

:14:09. > :14:12.would feel that they need to score some tries to beat this Leinster

:14:13. > :14:17.team in these conditions, you're not expecting it to be a 3-point game.

:14:18. > :14:20.Andrew Trimble comes in from the right wing and where is his

:14:21. > :14:32.Captain's hat and says exactly what he once asked to do and they are

:14:33. > :14:35.going for a scrum. That is very interesting. They did have the

:14:36. > :14:37.options of the kick at goal for the line-out, they are in control. The

:14:38. > :14:42.first line-out let someone up and interfere but the scrum, maybe

:14:43. > :14:53.better option. 32-macro linking -- lurking ominously. -- McCloskey.

:14:54. > :15:04.The 20 six is resplendent here. -- Kingsbarns Stadium. Andrew Brace

:15:05. > :15:12.will be saying, if you cannot get the rest of them, you should be

:15:13. > :15:21.going home. It has got a little bit on the cloudy side -- Kingspan

:15:22. > :15:25.Stadium. 3-0 to Leinster. Hugely disappointed at their exit at the

:15:26. > :15:38.hands of Claremont a couple of weeks ago in the cup. Ulster have not won

:15:39. > :15:46.any competition since 2006. That is a good Ulster scrum. Ruan Pienaar,

:15:47. > :15:51.now McCloskey. Here comes Roger Wilson, O my lord, he has got a try

:15:52. > :15:59.in his last game! Would you believe it? Roger Wilson, cap number 221 for

:16:00. > :16:03.Ulster and his 13th league try and he has not scored one of those since

:16:04. > :16:10.he was in little songs, what a finish by Roger Wilson! Ruan

:16:11. > :16:15.Pienaar's service from the base, McCloskey gets over the advantage

:16:16. > :16:19.line, draws on two defenders, the speed of the recycle ball. Roger

:16:20. > :16:24.Wilson on the spot, no further invitation from that range to pick

:16:25. > :16:28.Anglo. McCloskey battling hard and the speed of the recycle ball that

:16:29. > :16:34.allowed those opportunities to be created and Ulster making the most

:16:35. > :16:38.of the first one. Once Roger Wilson scooped up that ball, he was never

:16:39. > :16:42.going to be stopped. Did not actually need the help of Luke

:16:43. > :16:54.Marshall are a couple of others. Made it all on his own.

:16:55. > :17:05.Paddy Jackson does the honours. The conversion, nearly ten minutes gone

:17:06. > :17:11.and the pendulum has swung back to Ulster, leading Leinster 7-3. The

:17:12. > :17:16.challenge for Ulster is now to receive this ball from the kick-off,

:17:17. > :17:19.secure it, go through the next phase of what they are trying to achieve

:17:20. > :17:31.their game plan and play on from there. Ruan Pienaar. That is a

:17:32. > :17:41.lovely kick from Ruan Pienaar. Gets Ulster out of the danger zone. They

:17:42. > :17:50.are just in the centre. There is Joe Smit, the Irish coach. He is going

:17:51. > :17:58.to name his touring party later in the month, not too long away. Ulster

:17:59. > :18:04.managed to bring this down. They have stolen that, Robbie Diack comes

:18:05. > :18:09.away. Good driving work by the Irish international. Jackson, Marshall,

:18:10. > :18:22.not sure if the kick was the right option. Away goes... A chance for

:18:23. > :18:27.Leinster. Carberry had to check and was forced to kick. Not worked out

:18:28. > :18:36.too badly for Jackson. Needs to find his touch and he does. The quality

:18:37. > :18:40.that these teams possess, you're kicking game out of hand is going to

:18:41. > :18:44.be spot on, dry conditions, they will want to play attacking rugby

:18:45. > :18:47.and they need to make those contesting kicks. You will need some

:18:48. > :18:57.grass if you're going to make the distance. Ah You could not get to

:18:58. > :19:12.him. Van der Flier, looked forward. Look McGrath. Joey Carbery, back in.

:19:13. > :19:26.Good work by Jack Conan. The promising Leinster hooker. To get

:19:27. > :19:40.forward there. Triggs. That has gone forward. The ball was knocked on.

:19:41. > :19:43.They were forced into that by the line speed by Ulster, encouraging

:19:44. > :19:47.signs early on defensively, really getting off that line and applying a

:19:48. > :19:51.huge amount of pressure to that Leinster attack. Did not look as

:19:52. > :19:55.though he was expecting to receive that ball and bat in your face

:19:56. > :20:00.Ulster defence certainly operating well in the first 12 minutes. He has

:20:01. > :20:04.been a great replacement, particularly this season for Jamie

:20:05. > :20:09.Heaslip when the two times Lion has either been an Irish duty or has

:20:10. > :20:16.been injured. Conan was courted by Ulster for some time but to no

:20:17. > :20:21.avail. He stayed with his province. 13 minutes gone, 7-3 to Ulster at

:20:22. > :20:31.the moment at Kingspan Stadium. Great work by Warwick and Ah You.

:20:32. > :20:37.Wilson. Pienaar. Charles Piutau got it on and on the second attempt and

:20:38. > :20:44.that has maybe help them. Carberry had to make the tackle. Good angle.

:20:45. > :20:52.Support from Warwick and from Rob Herring. McCloskey. Well brought to

:20:53. > :20:58.the ground on the far side by Ringrose, here comes Rob Herring.

:20:59. > :21:03.Might still be in the mix for that Japan and USA trip. Likewise Rodney

:21:04. > :21:10.Ah You. Pienaar switches, Craig Gilroy. Runs into a lot of blue

:21:11. > :21:14.shirts but Pienaar gets it away and Jackson with the clever dummy, not

:21:15. > :21:19.backwards by Leinster and it is clear from the line. All the

:21:20. > :21:23.pressure is coming from the men in white. They're getting that speed of

:21:24. > :21:29.recycle ball. It is allowing players to come onto the ball, testing that

:21:30. > :21:37.Leinster defence. A few half breaks but that desperate Leinster defence

:21:38. > :21:48.is holding on to deny them. Bit of a stoppage, Ah You is down on one knee

:21:49. > :21:51.holding his right shoulder. Ricky Lutton has been drafted onto the

:21:52. > :21:58.bench because another player is injured. Ricky Lutton is moving on

:21:59. > :22:02.at the end of the season as well but he has always done well when he has

:22:03. > :22:06.been called upon, particularly good at that aspect of scrummaging and

:22:07. > :22:08.Ulster have started well in that department and they would not want

:22:09. > :22:19.that sort of service to be disrupted on a day like today. That would be a

:22:20. > :22:22.stinker. Isn't it wonderful to see hats and sunglasses or shades in the

:22:23. > :22:27.modern parlance, a lot of people with the Ruan Pienaar pictures, what

:22:28. > :22:33.a marker he will leave behind here. I do not think we have seen the last

:22:34. > :22:38.of him, I think he will be back here to live, because he has children

:22:39. > :22:42.here and they love it in Belfast. He is enjoying the education system and

:22:43. > :22:50.his church, which is such a part of his life. Rob Herring. That is

:22:51. > :22:55.another still, it is not going well at the line-out for Ulster. That has

:22:56. > :23:02.been knocked forward and the referee is played advantage and stray John

:23:03. > :23:07.McCreadie has snaffled it. -- Shauna Reidy. Andrew Warwick, surging run

:23:08. > :23:12.against the Ospreys last week, he was the try scorer, Roger Wilson,

:23:13. > :23:19.Pienaar, Jackson, misses Alp Marshall, Gilroy. Good tackle by

:23:20. > :23:28.Garry Ringrose. Reidy again, Jackson, very dangerous, Robbie

:23:29. > :23:32.Diack. Ulster concede a penalty and Leinster will be pleased with the

:23:33. > :23:37.defending. Good containment offence, they come out quickly, Ulster did

:23:38. > :23:40.have them out wide but were not able to get the ball there because of the

:23:41. > :23:45.line speed. Recognising correctly that they needed to employ that

:23:46. > :23:49.tactic to cut the ball off and getting due reward from putting

:23:50. > :23:55.enough players into contest. How big an influence to fill that Stuart

:23:56. > :24:02.Lancaster has had this season with Leinster? Masses. Speaking to the

:24:03. > :24:08.players, his international quality has come to training, organised

:24:09. > :24:11.instruction, he has complimented the staff, who are already there and

:24:12. > :24:15.have really brought this team forward again. Lots of talent at

:24:16. > :24:27.their disposal but it has to be moulded into the team performance. A

:24:28. > :24:30.throw, a good one. No advantage it seems to Ulster although Roger

:24:31. > :24:40.Wilson was liking it for the ball. The referee has given the scrummage.

:24:41. > :24:43.Not great completion rates on attacking throw for either team in

:24:44. > :24:47.such good conditions, you can be sure that the coaches and coaching

:24:48. > :24:50.staff will be looking for the reasons why and tried to get them

:24:51. > :24:51.down on the pitch to ensure that stream of possession comes from the

:24:52. > :25:09.line-out. Ah You seems to be fine up against

:25:10. > :25:12.Jack McGrath. Pienaar to Andrew Trimble, McCluskey, Pienaar again,

:25:13. > :25:17.that was dreadful in the middle of the park. It was knocked on by

:25:18. > :25:26.Marshall, good tackle by Pienaar on van der Flier. Triggs. Nacewa, that

:25:27. > :25:36.will bounce nicely for Leinster and it will be an Ulster line-out. Just

:25:37. > :25:41.the wrong option there, no better man to capitalise on that experience

:25:42. > :25:45.and game awareness. He looks up and sees read the spaces and he has got

:25:46. > :25:49.the ability to exercise the perfect kick and they keep mounting the

:25:50. > :25:52.pressure through the territory, through possession and they will

:25:53. > :25:59.look to apply some further pressure to this Ulster line-out. Leinster

:26:00. > :26:01.have a man down injured. McGrath is getting a bandage applied to his

:26:02. > :26:15.head. The referee has now called for a

:26:16. > :26:21.off. It seems to be OK, Noel Reid, the centre. Got that at the second

:26:22. > :26:29.attempt, under fierce pressure. Pienaar. Alan O'Connor. Does come in

:26:30. > :26:34.field to set it up a bit better from the man who will clear from here and

:26:35. > :26:41.it is Pienaar. He has given that a huge amount of height, Trimble

:26:42. > :26:46.jumps, well covered by McGrath, Andrew Trimble taken out of it quite

:26:47. > :26:54.legally, Julie Carberry. Read seems to be finding it, looks fairly flat,

:26:55. > :27:01.here comes Adam Byrne, 23 years of age, ten tries in the league in his

:27:02. > :27:07.career, Furlong was well met by stout Ulster defending. Here is

:27:08. > :27:14.Carberry, Nacewa trying to get in. Good covering by Ciaran Chadwell. He

:27:15. > :27:25.might be in the sights of Jill Schmidt. Carberry, are looking for a

:27:26. > :27:39.gap, does not find one. Sean Reidy was there. Nacewa. Treadwell is

:27:40. > :27:43.getting out of the way, as per instructions. Slept forward, here

:27:44. > :27:49.comes Jack McGrath. Leinster finding a hole in the middle of the park.

:27:50. > :27:56.Carberry, that was a bit high by McCluskey and he don't into it, the

:27:57. > :28:01.referee is plain advantage. It will be a penalty. Noel Reid tackle by

:28:02. > :28:08.Luke Marshall and that is the second Pienaar risible tackle by Ulster. It

:28:09. > :28:12.looked like a big man tackling a smaller man on that occasion and I

:28:13. > :28:16.would like to see the replay to see the reason for the penalty. It was a

:28:17. > :28:22.big body collision and Leinster trying to get their recycling game

:28:23. > :28:26.going and taking it into contact. It is technically high, no real malice

:28:27. > :28:31.involved, penalty at another opportunity from virtually the same

:28:32. > :28:36.spot, Carberry to add another three. The combination of a slightly high

:28:37. > :28:39.tackle and in April, but either way the penalty was justified. This will

:28:40. > :28:47.give Leinster the chance to close the gap. Carbery with the opening

:28:48. > :29:15.points after some four minutes. Would you believe that? Off the

:29:16. > :29:21.polls. Jackson gets it away, Trimble does the right thing and gives it an

:29:22. > :29:26.almighty wallop, well read by van der Flier, the Leinster skipper. Get

:29:27. > :29:33.it away to Noel Reid, who was not slow, that might not work out too

:29:34. > :29:41.badly for Leinster. He has taken on Pienaar, McGrath. 35 years of age

:29:42. > :29:46.and still playing pretty well, Julie Carberry, here comes Ringrose, they

:29:47. > :29:51.need to watch on. He got away from P et al. Could not link up with Adam

:29:52. > :29:56.Byrne on the far side. Desperate times from Ulster, they thought they

:29:57. > :30:02.have won that bad but they have not. Ruddock make some ground for Ulster.

:30:03. > :30:08.Devin Toner. James Tracy. Steps outside Ah You.

:30:09. > :30:29.Good defending by Ulster yet again. Triggs. Wilson nails him. Wilson

:30:30. > :30:37.penalised for not rolling away having made the tackle. The referee

:30:38. > :30:43.is going to have a word with Andrew Treadwell about the number of

:30:44. > :30:50.penalties. I didn't get a chance to speak to you earlier. That's two

:30:51. > :30:55.high tackles. It is two high tackles, offside, not rolling away

:30:56. > :31:01.so that four penalties next time someone will go to the burden and

:31:02. > :31:05.surely Carbery will get this one. You would think so. Is made good

:31:06. > :31:08.decisions on the ball and that's been a hallmark of their season,

:31:09. > :31:13.understanding what's in front of them, knowing when to off-load, go

:31:14. > :31:16.to ground, and across the board they have got players making good

:31:17. > :31:27.decisions and the rest of the team are reacting accordingly. No mistake

:31:28. > :31:35.this time from Joey Carbery. The gap has been reduced to one single

:31:36. > :31:40.point. 7-6, two Ulster. Are pretty even contest so far. Ulster looking

:31:41. > :31:45.good inside the Leinster 22. That's the challenge for them to get into

:31:46. > :31:52.those positions more often. They are a team with the ability to strangle

:31:53. > :31:59.teams by playing down in their half. Fergus McFadden. First time we have

:32:00. > :32:08.mentioned him. And Ulster skipper Andrew Trimble. 32 Irish caps.

:32:09. > :32:21.McGrath has just got a couple. The referee is happy to play on. Reid

:32:22. > :32:29.could not get away cleanly. Jackson touched that. Needs to make sure he

:32:30. > :32:36.gets his touch and he has done just that. Knocked it back inside

:32:37. > :32:42.himself, so he couldn't kick it into touch. You put me knows that now.

:32:43. > :32:48.The line-out on halfway is now inside Ulster's 22. Abe is picking

:32:49. > :32:55.up. It won't have a major impact on the game. Correct call by the

:32:56. > :32:56.assistant referee in the replay. Leinster find themselves inside the

:32:57. > :33:22.Ulster 22. O'Connor on the far side. Treadwell, the youngest player in

:33:23. > :33:34.the Ulster side today. McGrath again. Reid tried to step inside.

:33:35. > :33:41.James Tracy. Alston not committing too many to the breakdown. A

:33:42. > :33:49.sensible option. -- Ulster. Leinster probing. Very nearly got away from

:33:50. > :33:59.the tackler. McGrath goes to the narrow side. Furlong.

:34:00. > :34:07.McGrath set it up for Leinster. The brochures pressure.

:34:08. > :34:15.WHISTLE Diack, great work by him. He had his

:34:16. > :34:19.hands in there. Not releasing. Test-bed of Ulster defending this

:34:20. > :34:24.evening. Realising when to commit, when to contest for the ball and

:34:25. > :34:38.getting a great position over the ball. Pressure relieving kick for

:34:39. > :34:44.Ulster. Jackson obliges. Take forward by Jack Conan. Furlong held

:34:45. > :35:01.firm. I don't know what's going on with

:35:02. > :35:07.the line-out for Ulster. It was bad enough for the Ospreys last week but

:35:08. > :35:10.it's terrible tonight. It's allowing Leinster to set up in their

:35:11. > :35:17.territory. Their defence has kept the minute. Alston need to keep

:35:18. > :35:21.their discipline, particularly in their own 22. They are being

:35:22. > :35:26.cautioned now about the number of penalties. They would not want

:35:27. > :35:37.anybody to be in the sin-bin. 13.5 minutes to go to the interval.

:35:38. > :35:53.Pienaar playing his 100th game. Piutau took it nicely. Trimble. A

:35:54. > :36:01.bit of blocking there. Pienaar. Jackson. Well taken, I think, by

:36:02. > :36:08.O'Connor, who knocks it forward. That really sums up Ulster's

:36:09. > :36:12.evening. The ball not taking the right option to who the player is

:36:13. > :36:21.going to be. They get some space on the wider channels and Trimble and

:36:22. > :36:24.Piutau making some space but as they run back, they can't identify who

:36:25. > :36:29.the ball carrier is and once it hits the ground, the mistake comes and

:36:30. > :36:34.Leinster get the opportunity. A little bit of a blindside here.

:36:35. > :36:39.McGrath may look at that. Jackson standing behind the scrum to counter

:36:40. > :36:47.it if it goes that way. Just one man out at the far side for Leinster.

:36:48. > :36:56.Byrne. On the near side, a sharp angle. The last scrum is the worst.

:36:57. > :37:11.Leinster's greater experience is starting to show.

:37:12. > :37:23.Diack being replaced by Henderson who is here tonight.

:37:24. > :37:37.Al stuck trying to get a squeeze on but Leinster digging in a. Carbery.

:37:38. > :37:48.Ringrose. McFadden sensibly cut back inside. Well taken by Diack and

:37:49. > :37:55.Reidy. McGrath, dangerous. Good tackle. Carbery, more dangerous

:37:56. > :38:02.perhaps. Still there. Fergus McFadden is very strong inside.

:38:03. > :38:07.Conan will have to go to scrum-half. Leaves it for McGrath. Rodney Ah

:38:08. > :38:29.You. Devon Toner. Cutting back inside. Ruddock up to

:38:30. > :38:37.the 22. McGrath read that really well. Thumping tackle. Leinster have

:38:38. > :38:46.squeezed the pack again. McGrath. McFadden. Off he goes. Stopped by

:38:47. > :38:52.Robbie Diack. Just ten minutes remaining. Ulster desperate to hang

:38:53. > :38:57.on to the slender lead. Carbery run up a bit of a cul-de-sac. That has

:38:58. > :39:04.bounced very handily for Leinster. And Ulster line-out. This could be a

:39:05. > :39:10.cause for concern. Outstanding defence from Ulster. The physical

:39:11. > :39:14.contest they are certainly up for it, their line speed is great,

:39:15. > :39:18.making good decisions of the breakdown and forcing both Ulster

:39:19. > :39:21.players backwards. They seem to be defending, attacking with superior

:39:22. > :39:24.defensive members and really struggling to find a way through and

:39:25. > :39:30.this will be a big test for them, just spending too much time in their

:39:31. > :39:40.own 22 for their liking. Ricky Lutton has come on. He comes on at

:39:41. > :39:50.the age of 31 for his 58th Ulster cap. Oxford University Blues. Off he

:39:51. > :40:00.goes. Scrummaged quite well early on. I'm not sure if it was an injury

:40:01. > :40:07.to his head. No sign of Stockdale coming on. McCloskey looks a little

:40:08. > :40:13.bit on the wobbly side but if there was a head problem they would take

:40:14. > :40:17.him off immediately. Ulster's line-out, the most crucial set piece

:40:18. > :40:32.of this first half. 30 minutes elapsed. 7-6 to the home side. That

:40:33. > :40:38.was better. Roger Wilson. Goes to ground and lays the ball back.

:40:39. > :40:46.Robbie Diack. A penalty a few moments ago. The referee telling

:40:47. > :40:57.Leinster to wait. Piutau on to his favoured left foot. Received by Adam

:40:58. > :41:08.Byrne. Good tackle by Reidy. Away by Leinster. Wrapped up by Marshall.

:41:09. > :41:15.Toner on the bench yet again. Good stuff by Leinster. Lutton straight

:41:16. > :41:23.in there. Ulster style that one. Did not quite go to plan. -- Ulster

:41:24. > :41:31.stole that one. It's going to be an Ulster scrum. Good impact from Ricky

:41:32. > :41:35.Lutton. He executed that steel but you wonder how long Ulster can keep

:41:36. > :41:42.up this defensive effort. Leinster have set up camp on the Ulster 22.

:41:43. > :41:46.Ulster up to the task thus far. Surely they want to get some

:41:47. > :41:59.territory and possession to try to improve on that. Piutau, 24 games

:42:00. > :42:06.this season, have made the most floats in the league. And the most

:42:07. > :42:12.breaks. He's leading three of the top tables for those of you who

:42:13. > :42:22.asked Stickley minded. -- statistically minded.

:42:23. > :42:33.Free kick against Leinster. Now it is Piutau. Maybe not the worst

:42:34. > :42:39.option in the world. Just outside 22. Into a little bit of space,

:42:40. > :42:49.Piutau waits. A tailored two full-backs. They were slow down long

:42:50. > :42:52.enough for Ringrose to make the tackle. Ulster still inside their

:42:53. > :42:57.own half. Seven minutes of this first half remaining. Switched to

:42:58. > :42:59.the near side, Marshall could not get away. The tackle was by Luke

:43:00. > :43:17.McGrath. Wilson again. Plenty of height on that one. Well

:43:18. > :43:23.taken by Trimble and then he butted into the arms of a very willing

:43:24. > :43:34.Tracy. Carbery. Good work by Alan O'Connor. Ulster get a penalty. Good

:43:35. > :43:43.attacking by O'Connor. Ricky Lutton going over. What a kick it is to set

:43:44. > :43:52.a position. It's important Ulster secure possession from this

:43:53. > :44:01.line-out. A school before half-time would certainly help Ulster's cause.

:44:02. > :44:09.Leinster are guaranteed a home semifinal, the Scarlet are leading

:44:10. > :44:12.the Ospreys by 14-10. Conduct, the defending champions had their season

:44:13. > :44:21.in the sun this time last year. Well taken at the back by O'Connor.

:44:22. > :44:28.Surely offside? Nice bit of sleight of hand. Knocked forward by Herring.

:44:29. > :44:42.Dear oh dear oh dear. Simple things, the best line-out of the evening. It

:44:43. > :44:46.was outstanding. The referee just explaining why what looked like an

:44:47. > :44:50.offside plant was allowed to go on as the ball went over the 15 metre

:44:51. > :45:05.line, just that flowed not going ahead. -- flowed not going ahead. --

:45:06. > :45:10.off-load not going ahead. Andrew Trimble is talking to the referee

:45:11. > :45:19.about being a little bit on the lippy side perhaps. Well, the sun is

:45:20. > :45:28.out. It's the most perfect summers day. 7pm and the sun is out. The

:45:29. > :45:36.Leinster scrum has not been unduly bothered.

:45:37. > :45:49.McGrath squeezed by Ulster. Conan gets away. Plenty of options in the

:45:50. > :45:59.middle of the park. Devon Toner. Manhandled by Roger Wilson, who

:46:00. > :46:05.else? O'Connor. The line is cleared but not by very much. Important for

:46:06. > :46:08.Ulster to get some points. They've had rare excursions into the

:46:09. > :46:14.Leinster 22 and need to cut down on that error rate we have seen in the

:46:15. > :46:18.first half, mainly handling errors, and go through some possession,

:46:19. > :46:20.tried to apply some pressure and blood Leinster under some defensive

:46:21. > :46:29.pressure to see if they can get any mistakes out of them.

:46:30. > :46:43.That's better. Diack and Reidy. He thunders over the 22. Nice bit of

:46:44. > :46:49.athleticism. Marshall. Good defending to the far side of the

:46:50. > :46:57.post. The ball, a little bit slower. Knocked on yet again by Andrew

:46:58. > :47:03.Warwick. No advantage for Leinster. Ulster coming so so close. It's a

:47:04. > :47:07.microcosm of their season, isn't it? It's basic handle and distribution

:47:08. > :47:13.which is letting Leinster off the hook just when Ulster establish some

:47:14. > :47:16.field position and possession. They handed back to Leinster. They are

:47:17. > :47:21.still ahead on the scoreboard, 7-6, but Leinster seemed to have enjoyed

:47:22. > :47:24.more of the possession and that will take its toll defensively and the

:47:25. > :47:33.workrate Ulster have had to go through. Two and a half minutes to

:47:34. > :47:41.the interval. A game of high-intensity.

:47:42. > :47:52.Reid made a bit of ground. Carbery finds his touch. 20 of time for

:47:53. > :48:01.Ulster to launch another attack. It has improved a bit. I hope have not

:48:02. > :48:06.put the commentators curse on it. Diack, always an excellent man to

:48:07. > :48:15.have the line-out. Having a little confab now, discussing what options

:48:16. > :48:21.they are going for. Wilson and Reidy taking a position in midfield.

:48:22. > :48:30.Five-man line-out for Ulster. Well done by O'Connor. Jackson. Roger

:48:31. > :48:35.Wilson storming up on the outside. Kept possession. O'Connor tackled by

:48:36. > :48:53.Furlong. There's not a lot of room out there

:48:54. > :48:58.for Jackson. Jackson did ever so well to get it back. Diack takes it

:48:59. > :49:07.on. Into the final minute. Anything would do Ulster now.

:49:08. > :49:12.Huge pressure from Ringrose. Marshall did well to keep the ball.

:49:13. > :49:17.The referee. WHISTLE

:49:18. > :49:21.Penalty to Ulster. In the kicking range of Jackson and Ulster may just

:49:22. > :49:26.get their noses even more in front at half-time. They would be

:49:27. > :49:30.delighted if they could knock three points over and go into a 6-10 lead.

:49:31. > :49:34.They have not had it all their way but they would be going into the

:49:35. > :49:39.shed at half-time with a slender lead. They have done well to solve

:49:40. > :49:45.the problem of the line-out on the field. Maybe it was on the field

:49:46. > :49:52.problem-solving, they found a way to get possession. Jackson with well

:49:53. > :50:01.over 600 league points to his credit. Pienaar putting in Southern

:50:02. > :50:04.about this evening. A back spasm he had last week caused him to leave

:50:05. > :50:23.the field against the Ospreys. It seems to have gone.

:50:24. > :50:36.Jackson playing his 123rd Ulster game. He has given that a fair old

:50:37. > :50:41.wallop and the flag goes up. The referee blows the whistle for

:50:42. > :50:45.half-time. Ulster have come back, thwarted in a couple of occasions

:50:46. > :50:48.when the Leinster line looked to be fairly exposed but they dug in and

:50:49. > :50:51.of comeback and won't be too displeased with the first 40 minutes

:50:52. > :50:56.and people will be saying why couldn't they played like this all

:50:57. > :51:03.the way through the season up until now? However, they lead by 10-6.

:51:04. > :51:12.It's been a lively entertaining game. Joey Carbery keeping the

:51:13. > :51:17.scoreboard ticking over Leinster. Roger Wilson on target for Ulster

:51:18. > :51:21.and they have defended well and deservedly are in front at

:51:22. > :51:26.half-time. Stephen and Eddie have been enjoying what has been a great

:51:27. > :51:29.first 40 minutes. I suppose, why haven't Ulster played like this for

:51:30. > :51:38.large parts of the season? There's always a danger they kept their best

:51:39. > :51:41.for last but pressure is. You have to do is give them credit. Ever

:51:42. > :51:44.since they scored they have been under the pump from Leinster but

:51:45. > :51:49.they have shot Leinster down which takes a lot of doing. At the moment,

:51:50. > :51:54.the Ulster defence has been excellent. They had moments when

:51:55. > :51:57.they looked dangerous. To win this game they need more possession in

:51:58. > :52:03.the second half but you can only give credit where credit is due. The

:52:04. > :52:07.defence has been outstanding. What a game Roger Wilson has had in his

:52:08. > :52:11.final Ulster appearance. He's been unbelievable. It started from the

:52:12. > :52:15.line-out when he got the 50-50 ball and it bounced and he got onto it

:52:16. > :52:21.straightaway. From there came the try. He's been everywhere around the

:52:22. > :52:28.park. He is a giant of a man. He's played for Ulster many, many times.

:52:29. > :52:37.He is the first manned there. He pumps his legs. He's been absolutely

:52:38. > :52:46.fantastic. Yes, his workrate has been huge. It's such a big day for

:52:47. > :52:51.him. He has a game, here, this is a power play from Ulster. Here

:52:52. > :52:58.straight to the ball. That's the kind of power play Alston moves to

:52:59. > :53:03.bring. They are right up there at the moment if they can get more

:53:04. > :53:07.possession. They need to keep the ball forward. A great clear out.

:53:08. > :53:14.Roger picks the ball up, round through the middle, touches down,

:53:15. > :53:20.fantastic try. It's that ball carrying ability would Ulster have

:53:21. > :53:25.been missing this season. It is for sure. We know how good he has been

:53:26. > :53:28.in the past. He has struggled with a back injury in the last couple of

:53:29. > :53:32.seasons and we have not seen as much of him as we would like but, at the

:53:33. > :53:41.same time, what a great performance, his last ever professional game. The

:53:42. > :53:46.key to the Ulster success is the defence. It has been resolute in the

:53:47. > :53:49.first half. They have kept the balance on their defence. Because

:53:50. > :53:53.they have good members, they can get off the line and they are able to

:53:54. > :53:59.knock the Leinster players back. Leinster are losing their shape. He

:54:00. > :54:05.puts himself into trouble, Carbery, and this is basically because they

:54:06. > :54:13.are willing in the first collision. He came off the post. Ulster have

:54:14. > :54:16.the momentum and they need more time with the ball in their hands and

:54:17. > :54:21.spend less time defending but you can only say, the workrate, defence

:54:22. > :54:25.and balance has been extraordinary. When they get the ball, they turn it

:54:26. > :54:33.over. They got to take the ball off the pitch. We've seen that on the

:54:34. > :54:36.counterattack. McCloskey on the outside there. There was an

:54:37. > :54:40.advantage played by the referee. The defence like closing the space down

:54:41. > :54:44.from the outside. When you see somebody coming from your outside,

:54:45. > :54:50.your automatic reaction is not to throw the pass, so they are all

:54:51. > :54:53.working very, very well together. That's what we have not seen all

:54:54. > :55:00.season. What is the difference today? Why so good today? I think

:55:01. > :55:03.there is more workrate. When they do make a tackle, they get in the

:55:04. > :55:10.defensive line and the communication is really, really good. It's a

:55:11. > :55:14.chicken and a neck. If you can stop the football, the next one is easier

:55:15. > :55:19.and it gets easier and easier but if you get a situation while you're

:55:20. > :55:23.chasing, it's hard to get momentum but today they got the balance

:55:24. > :55:28.right. Leinster are a good attacking team but they look ordinarily today.

:55:29. > :55:32.They will have been a for the six points they have got so, at the

:55:33. > :55:35.moment, it is advantage Ulster, I still think it will be hard to

:55:36. > :55:40.sustain for the next 40 minutes and they will need to get their hands on

:55:41. > :55:43.the ball. Pienaar was an emotional character when he came out at the

:55:44. > :55:47.start of the match. You can see what this means to him.

:55:48. > :55:59.I was in his shoes a few years ago. Again, look at this, attacking

:56:00. > :56:03.Byrne, not an easy man to put down. Later on in the first half, he got a

:56:04. > :56:10.quick penalty over the winger's head. He thinks a couple of seconds

:56:11. > :56:17.faster than everybody else. I'm sure it's been a really emotional week,

:56:18. > :56:21.not just an emotional day, and he was chomping at the bit to get the

:56:22. > :56:28.game started. I'm sure it's been an emotional week. Turnovers for Ulster

:56:29. > :56:32.have been successful at times. Yes, their work at the breakdown, over

:56:33. > :56:38.the ball, it's got to do with workrate. The boys getting on their

:56:39. > :56:42.feet, good line, committing to it. You can't commit if you go

:56:43. > :56:47.backwards. It easy to get your hands on it if you are going forward.

:56:48. > :56:50.Leinster are looking for and searching for gaps. Ulster get

:56:51. > :56:55.members on the ball and get over and that's the workrate which get use

:56:56. > :57:02.big turnovers. Leinster are beginning to wonder how can they

:57:03. > :57:07.break them? I think Leinster will be at half-time saying, let's get this

:57:08. > :57:11.tighter. Yes, it's a beautiful day in Belfast. A nice, hard pitch, but

:57:12. > :57:16.sometimes you have got to play to your advantage is. Leinster have a

:57:17. > :57:20.big pack. Ulster had to make a change. Ricky Lutton straight on.

:57:21. > :57:27.They will look to tighten it up and get in the Ulster rugby lads' heads.

:57:28. > :57:32.Ice doesn't the problem they have is it's not their style of game. They

:57:33. > :57:37.have not practised all week. Passing on a tackle, but at the moment

:57:38. > :57:42.there's a white wall in front of them and that's a big adjustment to

:57:43. > :57:44.make for them as a team. Thank you very much indeed for the moment.

:57:45. > :57:56.Let's hear from the Ireland captain. Rory, first of all, it has a feeling

:57:57. > :58:01.of an end of an error about it today. Yes, it's quite sad and I

:58:02. > :58:09.think probably last night, looking at social media and seeing pieces

:58:10. > :58:13.about the two boys especially. It was nice to see Ricky getting a good

:58:14. > :58:17.run but I suppose it made me feel a little bit sad as well because guys

:58:18. > :58:26.around your age, they keep dropping off the cliff. It's inevitable. For

:58:27. > :58:32.them, I'm delighted way they played the first half and both were

:58:33. > :58:36.fantastic. It a difficult one for Pienaar because he did not want to

:58:37. > :58:39.go and he will be emotional today. He has to uproot his family and take

:58:40. > :58:44.them to France with everything that goes with that but, ultimately, we

:58:45. > :58:49.celebrate the fact we've had in for so long and have been able to

:58:50. > :58:52.re-sign him and the RFU policy is ultimately to protect the young

:58:53. > :58:57.players coming through and it's disappointing for us and it's not

:58:58. > :59:02.often you get a player who wants to re-sign regardless whether you're

:59:03. > :59:08.the highest bidder or not. It's a normal business decision. How are

:59:09. > :59:13.your emotions after the Lions announcement? A few weeks to digest

:59:14. > :59:18.the news. Obviously delighted. After four years ago, it was heartbreak

:59:19. > :59:23.and to have the complete opposite this time, we watched it on the

:59:24. > :59:29.phone, trying to stream it, so we were kind, and a text message came

:59:30. > :59:33.through to my dad and then mum, and nothing else for an eternity and

:59:34. > :59:37.they thought, oh my goodness, it's not good news. A massive

:59:38. > :59:42.roller-coaster but the senior announcement with my family, they go

:59:43. > :59:47.through a lot, so I can succeed the best they can and for them to be

:59:48. > :59:51.part of it was amazing. For Ulster rugby to have three guys there is

:59:52. > :59:55.pretty amazing. Yes, the other two boys, it's great they have been

:59:56. > :59:59.recognised on a global stage. They are fantastic guys and especially

:00:00. > :00:07.for the way they've worked in the last 18 months with JP,

:00:08. > :00:13.unbelievable. Make the most of it. Cheers. Thank you.

:00:14. > :00:19.As two people involved with Alliance, it's going to be a

:00:20. > :00:24.fabulous summer for those players. It will be. I'm thankful to be

:00:25. > :00:29.there, 2009. If the pinnacle of your career. You are in with the best

:00:30. > :00:36.from different countries and I'd just thrived in that environment and

:00:37. > :00:40.hope the lads do exactly the same. Henderson is a young fellow who will

:00:41. > :00:45.learn so so much out there and, for me, he's got a good chance of really

:00:46. > :00:48.working hard in those games leading up to the test to try to give

:00:49. > :00:52.himself the chance of getting a game.

:00:53. > :01:02.Do you think Henderson has a chance? He certainly has. His agility, to

:01:03. > :01:07.beat players with quick footwork, if he gets into that zone as we know he

:01:08. > :01:12.can, he can make a huge impression. Here's one of these guys, most

:01:13. > :01:18.people outside of Ireland may not know, but he can surprise everyone.

:01:19. > :01:23.The of chorus rested tonight, not wanting to risk an injury before

:01:24. > :01:27.their big summer, can Ulster close this game out against Leinster will

:01:28. > :01:32.Leinster be hungry to try and get a win to set them up for the pro-12

:01:33. > :01:36.semis? They need to get possession, they need to have the ball, they put

:01:37. > :01:39.in a lot of tackles in the first hour, Leinster threw everything at

:01:40. > :01:55.them and they did not break them down. They have to

:01:56. > :01:59.keep the defence of our more card for one another. They probably spoke

:02:00. > :02:01.at half-time, they have got to keep it tight. Leinster will throw

:02:02. > :02:03.everything in the second half, but they have everything to play for.

:02:04. > :02:06.Have Ulster kicked too much ball away? At times. If they don't, they

:02:07. > :02:08.are giving the ball back to Leinster. They need to get balance.

:02:09. > :02:12.They have got McCloskey and Marshall but they need to get the ball to

:02:13. > :02:17.tremble, he has been productive. I would like to see them hold onto the

:02:18. > :02:20.ball more when they get it. Thank you. Ulster are leading 10-6, it is

:02:21. > :02:32.back to our commentators. He you. Ulster are leading 10-6, it is

:02:33. > :02:38.had a bad shift, Alan O'Connor. Here is Julie Carbery. Scorer of

:02:39. > :02:44.Leinster's six points. Getting the second half under way. No changes in

:02:45. > :02:51.personnel. Craig Gilroy strayed into it and well taken by Adam Byrne who

:02:52. > :02:55.I would think is going to be one of those in contention but the trip to

:02:56. > :03:02.the USA and Japan. Ulster into the middle of the park and Ruan Pienaar.

:03:03. > :03:08.Paddy Jackson. That is a very good clearance by Paddy Jackson. Good

:03:09. > :03:11.start by Ulster. They will need to bring a little bit more calmness in

:03:12. > :03:16.their decision-making to match the intensity with which they played in

:03:17. > :03:19.that first hour. It was very evident defensively, but just maybe was not

:03:20. > :03:22.the accuracy they would have required an attack. They could

:03:23. > :03:26.address that, they could have the ability to go on and win this game

:03:27. > :03:31.and Leinster will be hoping to hit back with again. They won the

:03:32. > :03:40.line-out, Carbery quickly through Paddy Jackson. Sean Reidy, he has

:03:41. > :03:42.been excellent tonight, here comes Carbery, nicely done, McFadden,

:03:43. > :03:49.could not quite get the pass away. Nacewa. Straight into touch. Good

:03:50. > :03:53.opening by this Ulster side. Just that first line-out on the far side

:03:54. > :03:59.of the field. The newest of the newsstands. The assistant referee

:04:00. > :04:02.John Lacey's flag indicated that Ulster have a fairly strong breeze

:04:03. > :04:10.behind them and they will probably try and utilise that. Ulster,

:04:11. > :04:23.closing down Leinster, forced into a rare error. Herring throws, picked

:04:24. > :04:26.off by Devin Toner. Luke McGrath shaping up to kick down the

:04:27. > :04:33.left-hand side. That is hanging up in the stiff breeze and knocked

:04:34. > :04:37.forward by Craig Gilroy. And the referee just checks with his

:04:38. > :04:41.assistant who confirms it was knocked forward by a white hand,

:04:42. > :04:44.probably that of Craig Gilroy and that will be the first scrum to

:04:45. > :04:50.Leinster. Leinster will be keen to get straight back and score quickly.

:04:51. > :04:54.The sun is starting to play a part in theirs. Craig Gilroy did not look

:04:55. > :04:58.as if he got a good side of that, that will be straight into the

:04:59. > :05:05.Ulster eyes. They will play towards that on those high box kicks. First

:05:06. > :05:09.scrum of the second half. Andrew Warwick has done a pretty good job

:05:10. > :05:18.up against the formidable tight Furlong. Carbery, Noel Reid. Robbie

:05:19. > :05:26.Henshaw, is not here remember. Ruddock. Good work by Sean Reidy who

:05:27. > :05:33.has been great at the breakdown. Bit of a gap there. They have got away,

:05:34. > :05:40.Conan, interception by Piutau, little banana kick by Piutau, not

:05:41. > :05:46.enough Ulster chasers, mind you. Carbery gets himself all the way

:05:47. > :05:52.out. He has not found a bad touch. That was a decent bit of clearing

:05:53. > :06:00.into the stiff breeze. Fortunate for Ulster. That is a wonderful piece of

:06:01. > :06:03.anticipation from Charles P et al. Getting through the tackle,

:06:04. > :06:09.positioning themselves out of nowhere, Piutau plucks up ball out

:06:10. > :06:15.of the air. Setting up an opportunity for further possession

:06:16. > :06:21.through this line-out. Ulster have the last one picked off. Not much

:06:22. > :06:25.better. That was pretty hopeless by Ulster and van der Flier has broken

:06:26. > :06:30.away from pretty much everyone. The Ulster line-out has been rather

:06:31. > :06:35.calamitous this evening. Carbery again, Ulster, trying to step in

:06:36. > :06:46.Marshall, tries to nail him. McGrath to the far side, Carbery. Set up for

:06:47. > :06:50.Piutau. Inside to Gilroy. PNR knows he cannot kick directly into touch

:06:51. > :06:55.and uses all that experience and picks an empty spot, which is filled

:06:56. > :06:58.by Carbery -- Ruan Pienaar. He is running, needed to be caught there

:06:59. > :07:04.because there were a couple of gaps appearing and Ulster have to be

:07:05. > :07:10.quick. Gilroy sensibly decides to let that go but Leinster honestly

:07:11. > :07:15.have moved into the red sun. Very noticeable that they are kicking

:07:16. > :07:19.away a lot more ball. Looking at that defence and thinking, let's put

:07:20. > :07:23.a few behind and try and turn Ulster around, maybe a bit more of the

:07:24. > :07:27.territory based game, with the line-out struggling Elizabeth for

:07:28. > :07:33.Ulster, early on in the first-half, they will try and pressurise that

:07:34. > :07:39.with tricks -- nifty Ah You and toner, they can make it difficult.

:07:40. > :07:53.Two enormous men. Well taken by Alan O'Connor. It was well lifted.

:07:54. > :08:00.Pienaar. Just a bit of a stumble. In comes Wilson, clears it out. Devin

:08:01. > :08:07.Toner, offside. Kicked the ball through, knotty boy. They have got

:08:08. > :08:11.to be bound to the ruck, cannot come from the site, the kick is the

:08:12. > :08:15.interpretation from the referee. The angle for Paddy Jackson to work

:08:16. > :08:19.with, hoping to get this one into Leinster territory and struck those

:08:20. > :08:22.discussions about line-out. The short line-out, not the best quality

:08:23. > :08:28.possession, the midfielder gets filled up with back row players, but

:08:29. > :08:32.it is all about possession. There was the infringement, the ball was

:08:33. > :08:35.sitting there and Toner came through and kicked it and Paddy Jackson from

:08:36. > :08:47.the tight angle and a treacherous breeze put in touch mind. 30 years

:08:48. > :08:53.of age, Devin Toner, approaching 50 caps for Ireland. Oh dear. It is the

:08:54. > :08:59.long throw to the back, Rob Herring has got to allow for the fact that

:09:00. > :09:02.he has to try and get over it ahead of the huge Leinster men and he has

:09:03. > :09:07.not managed it. This is the worst aspect of the Ulster game this

:09:08. > :09:14.evening. Leinster are under pressure but they have secured the ball, Luke

:09:15. > :09:21.McGrath. Furlong. Van der Flier assisting. The crowd is not happy.

:09:22. > :09:26.That is a tester for Craig Gilroy. Well taken by Adam Byrne. He has got

:09:27. > :09:30.it away, it could be dangerous, Noel Reid was missed in the middle of the

:09:31. > :09:35.park, McCloskey comes back gets a second bite of the Leinster

:09:36. > :09:41.ball-carrier. Somebody down injured. I think about the Gilroy. Clear the

:09:42. > :09:45.tackle area, please. Penalty against Ulster, the first they have conceded

:09:46. > :09:51.in the second half. Seven minutes in. I think that is Craig Gilroy.

:09:52. > :09:58.Medical staff are on very quickly, Gareth Robinson, the Ulster physio

:09:59. > :10:03.given some attention. He might have landed awkwardly from that kick

:10:04. > :10:07.contest. Michael Webb is in there straightaway, the senior medical

:10:08. > :10:11.officer for Ulster. Jacob Stockdale, who we thought was coming on for

:10:12. > :10:15.Stuart McCloskey, in the first up, he may be coming on. He took a heavy

:10:16. > :10:23.tumble and he landed awkwardly and the ground is very firm. Anxious

:10:24. > :10:28.Ulster faces. Hoping that Craig Gilroy, he has got a bang on the job

:10:29. > :10:32.perhaps, remember his wonderful incursion into the air aside against

:10:33. > :10:37.Italy when he scored within a handful of minutes, a hat-trick and

:10:38. > :10:41.then was properly discarded. He certainly has the ability to score

:10:42. > :10:45.points and score them quickly. He will be needed for Ulster out there

:10:46. > :10:49.this afternoon, as we see, that may have just, in contesting that, got a

:10:50. > :10:54.shoulder in the jar and it may be some sort of head injury assessment

:10:55. > :11:04.that they will need. The great news is that he is setting up. He says he

:11:05. > :11:08.is OK. He says he is OK. They will take him off and do the head injury

:11:09. > :11:13.assessment and with a bit of luck, he might return. In the meantime,

:11:14. > :11:17.not a bad man to have coming on. Jacob Stockdale. He has scored no

:11:18. > :11:24.fewer than nine tries as a pro trial player this season. Just one off the

:11:25. > :11:28.leader of Stefan Evans from the Scarlets, if I am not mistaken. We

:11:29. > :11:33.will see whether it is Charles Piutau that slots into that 15

:11:34. > :11:36.position or Jacob Stockdale assumes that role. Opportunity now for a

:11:37. > :11:44.Leinster to go back into Ulster territory, line-out for the start.

:11:45. > :11:48.Craig Gilroy is just trotting down the tunnel so he might not be too

:11:49. > :11:53.bad. Carbery finds his touch and remember, it is very difficult to

:11:54. > :11:57.work out, there is a stiff breeze blowing, it has eased a little bit

:11:58. > :12:01.as the sun gets brighter and brighter, it seems. We are coming up

:12:02. > :12:08.to half past six evening, the floodlights have not been touched.

:12:09. > :12:15.James Tracy. The Ulster 10m line. Taken at the front by Triggs. Ulster

:12:16. > :12:19.Reid it well bearing in mind how they got ambushed and the RDS went

:12:20. > :12:24.Leinster took a quick line-out. Furlong, well brought to ground by

:12:25. > :12:31.Roger Wilson, and all embracing tackle, Carbery back inside. Ulster

:12:32. > :12:40.have put in some very good tackles this evening, this is Rhys Ruddock.

:12:41. > :12:45.That is the halfway line. Carbery. Nacewa. And again, the kick and that

:12:46. > :12:49.is not a bad option because although it is an Ulster bowl, the Leinster

:12:50. > :12:55.line-out has been impressive. They have not really been able to break

:12:56. > :12:59.down Ulster defence. Apply pressure at the set piece. They will feel,

:13:00. > :13:08.with those revised tactics that maybe they can get something more on

:13:09. > :13:15.the scoreboard. 10-6. That is how it was a binge for, try by Roger

:13:16. > :13:23.Wilson, conversion by Paddy Jackson, O'Connor, who would have been the

:13:24. > :13:28.main source of the line-out ball, and Treadwell, nothing has been

:13:29. > :13:33.thrown to him this evening. Pienaar. He has hiked that a little bit but

:13:34. > :13:40.he has found his touch. Stockdale trying to prevent Adam Byrne taking

:13:41. > :13:50.a quick throw, Ruan Pienaar shook his head, he wanted a little bit

:13:51. > :13:54.more on that. Seven man line-out for this Leinster side, there is

:13:55. > :14:02.Treadwell, former Ireland under a team player, the first Ulster steel.

:14:03. > :14:09.Reidy, Jackson. That is right down the middle, it needs to hold up

:14:10. > :14:17.shirt and it does not. Here is Nacewa, he is going to be first to

:14:18. > :14:21.kick this. McCloskey really closed down, it was not the distance that

:14:22. > :14:24.the Leinster skipper, now 34 years of age, would have wished for.

:14:25. > :14:31.Capped just once at international level for Fiji back in bed 2002

:14:32. > :14:37.World Cup. Came on as a substitute and that meant he could not qualify

:14:38. > :14:41.for New Zealand where he was born. Excellent kick down the middle,

:14:42. > :14:46.difficult to get out of that position. Nacewa running close to

:14:47. > :14:52.the touchline to trying get more distance from the kick. Line-out

:14:53. > :14:55.stolen again. Ulster won all the line-outs, they might have been in

:14:56. > :15:02.the lead, such as the possession that they have lost. James Tracy

:15:03. > :15:07.takes a good in line. Van der Flier knocks it forward. McCloskey. A

:15:08. > :15:13.little kick into space. Here comes Stockdale. Nicely done by Adam

:15:14. > :15:23.Byrne, did that easily. He is strong enough to hold off Rob Herring.

:15:24. > :15:32.Advantages with Leinster. And that is an Ulster line-out. I think if

:15:33. > :15:36.Ulster had been offered scrums, they would have been happier. They seem

:15:37. > :15:39.to have done well when they shorten the line-out and they would expect

:15:40. > :15:43.it to be a tactic they would continue to employ considering the

:15:44. > :15:47.returns they get from it. We have to speed this up, please. Andrew Brace

:15:48. > :15:56.is telling Ulster they have to speed this up. Here it is Herring again.

:15:57. > :16:08.Treadwell, back to Herring. That works. Pienaar. Ricky Lutton.

:16:09. > :16:14.Pienaar again, this is McCloskey. Slipped the ball away quite nicely.

:16:15. > :16:19.Ulster on the front foot. He was having a good look, Ulster try, ran

:16:20. > :16:25.through the forwards. McGrath told to get out of it, Jackson, Luke

:16:26. > :16:34.Marshall. Pienaar again, Jackson back in position. Piutau. Wonderful

:16:35. > :16:39.by Piutau. Needed someone on his elbow when they have lost possession

:16:40. > :16:43.but that was a little glimpse of Charles Piutau Lammas Ruan Pienaar,

:16:44. > :16:49.the only two Ulstermen in their approach well driven team. It is

:16:50. > :16:54.just his ability to beat him, the kick, the pace on the outside, that

:16:55. > :16:57.tackle, gets knocked out as he goes to ground, but an opportunity again

:16:58. > :17:05.for Ulster, they want their line-out to function. They don't want to

:17:06. > :17:13.leave without some scoring. It is crucial to get some points. This is

:17:14. > :17:17.his 23rd start for Ulster this season, he has not missed many

:17:18. > :17:22.games, Sean Reidy who started exactly the same number as him has

:17:23. > :17:28.got a bang as well and he may be leaving the field. That may be two

:17:29. > :17:35.players off to have head injury assessment and Ulster are fortunate

:17:36. > :17:39.that they have Chris Henry as a replacement. Chris Henry comes on,

:17:40. > :17:45.he has been the captain of Ulster for many times. He won his first

:17:46. > :17:58.international cap in 2010 against Australia. Sean Reidy goes off.

:17:59. > :18:02.Chris Henry is on already. Better work by Ulster at the line-out.

:18:03. > :18:07.Andrew Trimble drifting back to the right-hand side. Leinster have

:18:08. > :18:20.covered, Ulster moving forward. The ball is there with Rob Herring,

:18:21. > :18:34.Pienaar, to marshal, he did get through the first tackle of Carbery.

:18:35. > :18:49.Pienaar, Jackson, Piutau, Herring, Chris Henry straight into it. Ricky

:18:50. > :18:53.Lutton. Pienaar again, Jackson. McCloskey, nicely gone wide, the

:18:54. > :19:01.Ulster captain, Andrew Trimble, strong run in. He was bounced but he

:19:02. > :19:08.held onto the ball wonderfully well. Here goes Treadwell looking for his

:19:09. > :19:11.first Ulster try. Pienaar. Back inside to Chris Henry, all the

:19:12. > :19:22.pressure coming from the men in white at the moment. Pienaar gets it

:19:23. > :19:27.away, Stockdale. Pienaar again. Great offending by Leinster, still

:19:28. > :19:35.Pienaar and again, Herring. The man himself. He nor, very close to that

:19:36. > :19:48.line. Luke Marshall, can he squeeze it over? In goes Herring. Leinster's

:19:49. > :19:55.determination for all to see. Pienaar, little chip, tremble,

:19:56. > :20:02.scorers! Also's captain takes the perfect kick from one of Ulster's

:20:03. > :20:09.Legends and gets the second try, on a glorious spring evening. You would

:20:10. > :20:12.be hoping he would play a significant role. That is turning

:20:13. > :20:17.out to be the case, Roger Wilson with the try and then Ruan Pienaar,

:20:18. > :20:24.we have seen on a number of times at the King's Fund Stadium. He has the

:20:25. > :20:29.ability to execute. Some desperate defence from Leinster which was just

:20:30. > :20:33.allowing Ulster and it took the more unorthodox route, a perfectly placed

:20:34. > :20:40.kick solar Andrew Trimble did not have to look into the sun. I was not

:20:41. > :20:46.altogether sure who kicked it or who Carter but we think we got it right.

:20:47. > :20:51.C F Paddy Jackson, who got a conversion in the first half, can

:20:52. > :20:56.get this one. It is tough, there is a bit of a breeze behind him. It is

:20:57. > :21:09.a pretty tight angle from that far touchline.

:21:10. > :21:19.Needs to come in, wonderful kick by Jackson, perfect kick following a

:21:20. > :21:25.perfect cross kick. Ulster now, over 15 minutes in the second half gone,

:21:26. > :21:31.they are leading by 17-6 and Leinster are making a few changes.

:21:32. > :21:36.There will be interesting, Leinster, nothing tangible to play for, down

:21:37. > :21:40.11 points, away from home, real test of their character to see how they

:21:41. > :21:45.respond. Dan Leavy has come on a wearing number 20 and the very

:21:46. > :21:53.familiar figure of Cian Healy has come on as well. McGrath. Leinster

:21:54. > :22:00.wanting to respond immediately, here comes Cian Healy. Roger Wilson.

:22:01. > :22:16.McGrath again. Moved wide by Noel Reid. Strauss has come on, third

:22:17. > :22:23.replacement. Leavy into Rob Herring. Carbery. Ringrose. One of those

:22:24. > :22:38.angled runs at which he is most adept. McGrath with the switch. Noel

:22:39. > :22:45.Reid. Jack Conan. Clearing out by Ulster, the referee says that is

:22:46. > :22:58.fine to the middle. Cian Healy. Here is Carbery. Lots to come. Slow ball

:22:59. > :23:12.for Leinster. Nacewa. No wriggle room given to him, Healy does not

:23:13. > :23:16.bring on much,. Leavy. Rhys Ruddock has got away from the first tackle,

:23:17. > :23:23.that was bad work there by the Ulster defence. Great chance for

:23:24. > :23:27.Leinster, Furlong, sidestep, very balletic by the enormous 20 stone

:23:28. > :23:33.prop. Leinster responding as only they can. They are within stretching

:23:34. > :23:42.distance of that Ulster try line. Their going through the middle of

:23:43. > :23:48.the Ulster defence. Both sets of fans in great voice. Bolstered

:23:49. > :23:54.again, that the referee has a good luck and I think he will have to go

:23:55. > :24:04.upstairs to the TML. Leinster think they have got it.

:24:05. > :24:12.The initial view is held up, try a yes or no please. Andrew Brace said

:24:13. > :24:16.his initial view is that it has been held up under Leinster players think

:24:17. > :24:21.the try has been scored. Julie Carbery is preparing to take the

:24:22. > :24:25.conversion. He is asking for adjudication on the part of the TMO,

:24:26. > :24:30.but again Andrew Brace said the initial view is that it was held up.

:24:31. > :24:34.We are going to have to see something on these replays that is

:24:35. > :24:39.evidence that the try has been scored. They cannot see that, then

:24:40. > :24:43.they will have to go to held up. There will still be a five metre

:24:44. > :24:54.scrum and Ulster are not off the hook. Sundar defence by Ulster. Rob

:24:55. > :25:02.Herring, getting in... Cian Healy thinks he may well have got it.

:25:03. > :25:06.Still checking, Andy. I can hear the TMO say he that he was still

:25:07. > :25:15.checking, Andy, in reference to Andrew Brace. Andrew Brace put the

:25:16. > :25:20.hand up initially. The fact that he said, I think it was held up as

:25:21. > :25:26.interesting. Go ahead. It is inconclusive, for me it is out.

:25:27. > :25:34.Inconclusive, according to the TMO, so it was held up, so will be a five

:25:35. > :25:42.scrum for Ulster. Their defence has been outstanding. It is an

:25:43. > :25:47.achievement in itself. Leinster have found a way of winning these tight

:25:48. > :25:56.games and points now would be crucial, if Ulster could hold on

:25:57. > :26:06.here, and 11 point before it,. Peter Nelson is coming on for Ulster. Has

:26:07. > :26:17.Charles Piutau gone off? Yes, he has, Sean Reidy has come back onto

:26:18. > :26:22.the field. Sean Reidy seems to be fine, I'm not quite sure about Craig

:26:23. > :26:26.Gilroy, he also went for a head injury assessment. Peter Nelson is

:26:27. > :26:40.on, he has not played for quite some time.

:26:41. > :26:53.Cian Healy into the front row. Their advantage have diminished. The

:26:54. > :26:58.referee has got the hand-out for the penalty. Play on, he is playing

:26:59. > :27:02.advantage. Car brief tries to find a bit of a gap, he is manhandled by

:27:03. > :27:09.the defence. Coming back for the penalty. Some Furley hefty gentleman

:27:10. > :27:15.in the front row. If you have already got that one penalty, in

:27:16. > :27:19.that position, given the 11 point margin, three would be handy, seven

:27:20. > :27:23.would be more welcome, if they feel they have the upper hand, there will

:27:24. > :27:29.be no turning our Leinster pack away from going for another scrum. Andrew

:27:30. > :27:31.Warwick has done pretty well up against Furlong, Ricky Lutton might

:27:32. > :27:44.find himself up against another serious piece of work in the Cian

:27:45. > :27:49.Healy. Here they go again, and we have played almost one hour, just

:27:50. > :27:54.over 20 minutes remaining. Ulster trying to get a squeeze on it, not a

:27:55. > :28:00.bad Ulster scrum, they are really digging in. The referee has given

:28:01. > :28:07.another penalty. Leinster I am sure will have another go at it. For the

:28:08. > :28:16.second time this evening, tempers starting to fray. Plenty of hate in

:28:17. > :28:21.this game. They will go for another scrum, they might get one more

:28:22. > :28:25.penalty. Anything more than that and you think the referee would be

:28:26. > :28:29.running out of cards. Paul Stirling, not unsurprisingly, have a man who

:28:30. > :28:34.decided he has a bit of an ankle tweet. That is maybe to gain a

:28:35. > :28:43.little bit of time. Ulster later but pulling their tight forwards in.

:28:44. > :28:50.Here comes Andrew Trimble. Have a word, please. He has told Andrew

:28:51. > :28:58.Trimble and Nacewa to tell their teams not be getting involved. Ricky

:28:59. > :29:01.Lutton doing his best against King Healy who got a bit of a shunt and

:29:02. > :29:04.Ulster went down on the front row and they were penalised and if it

:29:05. > :29:09.happens again, Rhine, for the third time, I think the referee will go

:29:10. > :29:13.underneath the post. Third or fourth time usually, unless there is a

:29:14. > :29:17.different regiment involved, but a huge test for Ulster. They will feel

:29:18. > :29:21.if they can hold them out here, it will swing back to them. They are

:29:22. > :29:25.the team in the ascendancy on the scoreboard. They need to last just

:29:26. > :29:33.that little bit longer. We did have 20 minutes of scrums in the Wales

:29:34. > :29:42.game in France. A penalty for Jill Schmidt's thoughts. The home crowd

:29:43. > :29:46.trying to lift their pack to greater heights after that pressure was

:29:47. > :30:17.exerted. Here comes Luke McGrath again. That has collapsed, but not

:30:18. > :30:29.All they needed stability. They need to force Leinster to test them

:30:30. > :30:36.today. It would mean so much to this fan base. If they could hang on and

:30:37. > :30:44.win this game. Ulster digging in. The referee is having a good think.

:30:45. > :30:52.He's gone and later post. He's given the penalty try. Is lost that. The

:30:53. > :30:59.penalty try has been given and that's another viewpoint the

:31:00. > :31:04.Leinster. That cut the gap to four points. If the one aspect where

:31:05. > :31:14.Leinster have got dominance in this game. They've managed to disrupt

:31:15. > :31:22.Ulster 's line-out and now there's a tight five walk on. A job well done

:31:23. > :31:28.for them. That's where they are dominated. When you get five metres

:31:29. > :31:36.out, the machine rolls forward, the referee would run under the post.

:31:37. > :31:46.But summer sun is shining directly in our eyes are so it's pretty

:31:47. > :31:56.difficult. Ulster about to restart. Off the field goes Roger Wilson.

:31:57. > :32:00.Farewell. Following a proud family tradition. His grandfather Harry.

:32:01. > :32:12.His uncle Des. They all played for Ireland. The fifth member of that

:32:13. > :32:22.family, representing Ireland. He will represent Ireland in the not

:32:23. > :32:27.too distant future, I'm sure. Leinster now with the bit between

:32:28. > :32:40.their teeth. Jacob Stockdale got nowhere near that. Devon Toner. He

:32:41. > :32:49.has played well. That's a good transfer. Ulster were caught

:32:50. > :32:52.napping. He spilled the ball forward and the referee is waiting for the

:32:53. > :33:00.advantage to be played. That's just as well. Now Jackson. He's going to

:33:01. > :33:10.throw it wide that went forward seven will have to come back for the

:33:11. > :33:15.initial defence. They managed to get space in the wider channel and

:33:16. > :33:22.fortunately, McGrath unable to hold on to that inside ball. Certainly,

:33:23. > :33:25.it's a trend they won't want to continue but the big question is,

:33:26. > :33:29.did that huge defensive workload they went through in the first half

:33:30. > :33:38.take it out of their legs, and can they find the extra bit for the

:33:39. > :33:48.remaining 16.5 minutes? Roger Wilson has gone. All the very best for

:33:49. > :33:57.whatever you're going to do. A second baby on the way.

:33:58. > :34:11.New Zealand's Gibson-Park is coming on. Something Leinster often do with

:34:12. > :34:17.a substitution. Gibson-Park gives them another lease of life. He will

:34:18. > :34:20.be able to generate the fast paced ball to trouble the Ulster defence,

:34:21. > :34:31.but certainly they will hope to do that and the remainder of this half.

:34:32. > :34:40.He played number ten last season. Ulster looking to run this one.

:34:41. > :34:45.Peter Nelson inside the 22. From the scrum inside the 22, that was not a

:34:46. > :34:48.clever piece of reading of the game. He looks somewhat amused but he

:34:49. > :34:55.should know the laws of the game. The scrum was outside the 22. Even

:34:56. > :35:00.though it went through a number of transitions, Ulster handed

:35:01. > :35:06.possession actor Leinster. Leinster bring on the substitutes and it

:35:07. > :35:11.noticeably lifts the pace of the game. They are looking to do that

:35:12. > :35:18.right now with this opportunity. Ross Molony is on as well. Good,

:35:19. > :35:35.speedy closing down by Marshall. Treadwell has taken a bit of a

:35:36. > :35:50.knock. Only four points between them. Stockdale stood off Carbery a

:35:51. > :35:54.bit. Stolen by Healy. How many times has he done that in white jerseys

:35:55. > :36:02.and green jerseys? That is nicely done. Here goes Marshall. Trimble

:36:03. > :36:08.off-loaded again. WHISTLE

:36:09. > :36:14.The crowds are building for offside. A penalty.

:36:15. > :36:20.CROWD BOOS Sometimes their composure is

:36:21. > :36:24.lacking. Some decisions they make and the execution, they will be

:36:25. > :36:29.happy to get out of their own half. An opportunity now to kick long,

:36:30. > :36:32.call it early, probably the shorter one, giving them the best returns

:36:33. > :36:42.and there's no need for them to panic. They have been four points up

:36:43. > :36:54.with 14 points remaining. Healy has taken a bit of a thump. Warwick has

:36:55. > :37:03.really stood up for himself. Against the experienced Leinster front row.

:37:04. > :37:04.Jackson to give Ulster a purchase in Leinster territory. Straight down

:37:05. > :37:23.the line. Nicely done. Ulster making another couple of

:37:24. > :37:34.replacements. Timoney coming on. A former captain of Blackrock College.

:37:35. > :37:48.Warwick is being replaced. Is either good game. -- he's had a very good

:37:49. > :37:54.game. Ulster one that. Good taken by McCloskey. Good off-loaded by him.

:37:55. > :38:05.He would be man of the match, not that I'd get to pick it. Marshall.

:38:06. > :38:09.One little line break would do this. Cleverly back to Pienaar. That's

:38:10. > :38:17.nice. Timoney. WHISTLE

:38:18. > :38:26.His first actress to hang onto the ball in the tackle and to give

:38:27. > :38:35.possession back. Another change. Andrew Porter has come on as well.

:38:36. > :38:41.They are coming on the contrast. Leavy, one of those substitutes on

:38:42. > :38:47.the pitch, who gets in a good position initially. Two Ulster

:38:48. > :38:59.players arriving without a huge amount of impetus. The long shadows

:39:00. > :39:12.being cast by this low summer. Right into Ulsters' eyes. Ringrose has got

:39:13. > :39:18.away. What a turn of pace. He held onto it. There were two men outside

:39:19. > :39:23.him. Still therefore Leinster. Has the chance gone? McFadden does not

:39:24. > :39:29.think so and he will never give up. That was a typical Gary Ringrose

:39:30. > :39:34.break but Stockdale, had he got that, he was home and hosed, but he

:39:35. > :39:41.has knocked it forward. Running into the sun. At least it stops the

:39:42. > :39:46.attacking movement because Leinster were going on a break. It looked

:39:47. > :39:54.perfectly set up for that little pass. Ringrose convinced him he

:39:55. > :40:02.would have got there. Looking up into the sun, unable to grab it,

:40:03. > :40:08.Stockdale. Here it's going to be the accolade of the season.

:40:09. > :40:17.CROWD CHEERS Farewell and many, many, many thanks

:40:18. > :40:23.to the actorly magnificent Pienaar. What a difference he has made, what

:40:24. > :40:35.impression he has made, what a standard he has set and what the

:40:36. > :40:42.legacy he believed. -- and what a legacy he will leave. The least that

:40:43. > :40:50.Ulster side can do is to hang onto this for him. They know what's at

:40:51. > :40:54.stake for those two lads, their last game in a white shirt and they are

:40:55. > :40:57.trying to do it justice. Are the focus now needs to be on how they

:40:58. > :41:05.stop this Leinster team invigorated by the substitutes off the bench.

:41:06. > :41:14.They will need to muscle up to ensure Leinster don't get further

:41:15. > :41:17.reward from that. 17, McCall, sustained a nasty leg injury before

:41:18. > :41:31.Christmas in one of the European games. Only Andrew, the replacement

:41:32. > :41:38.hooker is yet to come on. Scarlet at the Ospreys. Scarlets finishing in

:41:39. > :41:47.third place. Munster romping home. At the moment, they could finish in

:41:48. > :41:59.first place. Back inside to Ringrose, no room there. Healy,

:42:00. > :42:03.adroit use of a forearm. Ulster having to dig in now but are

:42:04. > :42:10.conceding a meter every single contact. Carbery.

:42:11. > :42:18.It's been knocked forward. Play on, says the referee. Here goes

:42:19. > :42:24.Stockdale. Byrne needs to make sure the ball is coming back. Ulster get

:42:25. > :42:28.a penalty. Good work by Stockdale. He knew he was not going to get away

:42:29. > :42:39.but was not going to let the ball get away from him. Leinster player

:42:40. > :42:46.over the ball. The referee decided maybe it should have got into

:42:47. > :42:49.Ringrose's hands and it was a mismatch on the outside. Not the

:42:50. > :42:54.correct decision in hindsight. Stockdale doing well just to

:42:55. > :43:02.maintain possession. Nine minutes remaining. It would be remiss of me

:43:03. > :43:11.not to mention two men who are not been mentioned, Alan Clark, from the

:43:12. > :43:15.European cup, 30th of January 1999, the forwards coach with the Ospreys,

:43:16. > :43:24.and the head coach for the last couple of years, they are moving on

:43:25. > :43:31.and we wish them the very best. Ulster's Herring has had a

:43:32. > :43:42.catastrophic day out of touch. Eight minutes remaining. The chance. To go

:43:43. > :43:49.into Ulster territory. Can Ulster hold on? Their defence has been

:43:50. > :43:53.outstanding all day. Tired legs out there now. Leinster just trying to

:43:54. > :43:56.get some sort of field position and the ball in hand while they have two

:43:57. > :44:01.muscle up on this occasion to try to take some optimism into the

:44:02. > :44:06.pre-season and finally book end of this season with a win. It won't get

:44:07. > :44:11.them into the top four, but some pride will be restored against a

:44:12. > :44:18.very good Leinster team. Rory O'Loughlin is coming on. Reid is

:44:19. > :44:27.leaving. He may well move into the centre where he will be happy.

:44:28. > :44:33.Strauss in Ulster's territory. Knocked forward. Play on, says the

:44:34. > :44:46.referee. Marshall could not get the pass away quickly enough.

:44:47. > :44:54.Good taken by Henry on for a second stint.

:44:55. > :45:13.Not a bad double-click. -- kick. Seven minutes remaining. It's about

:45:14. > :45:17.managing the game now for Ulster. No real risk in kicking that ball down

:45:18. > :45:21.there. It was touched in flight, as appealed by Ulster, and an

:45:22. > :45:26.opportunity now to secure some possession and go through some

:45:27. > :45:30.phases of. A penalty would see them stretch that margin out to seven

:45:31. > :45:35.points. It's all about ball in hand Rugby, timing and a session for

:45:36. > :45:45.Ulster. They've opted for the short line-out. Herring has had an awful

:45:46. > :45:50.day. The referee says he's happy enough with that. He says no, his

:45:51. > :45:57.attempt to secure the ball nudged forward. But the clock is ticking

:45:58. > :46:03.away. There is the former Ulster skipper and a great, great personal

:46:04. > :46:10.friend of mine. Johann Muller went through this when he departed Ulster

:46:11. > :46:19.for South Africa. He promised he would be here to see his great

:46:20. > :46:24.friend's leaving this stadium and, as good as his word, he is here.

:46:25. > :46:31.Five minutes remaining. Leinster need to get themselves into Ulster

:46:32. > :46:36.territory and Ulster needs to squeeze something out of the

:46:37. > :46:43.referee, and a solid looking Leinster scrum. The front rows get

:46:44. > :46:51.the penalty. The Ulster scrum are starting to Creek. I wonder why

:46:52. > :46:58.Andrew has not been brought on? Looking in trouble at scrum time but

:46:59. > :47:03.both front rows stood up. Ulster may think a bit unlucky but when that

:47:04. > :47:06.tide turns against you, it's 50-50. Decisions tend to go towards the

:47:07. > :47:14.dominant scrum and Ulster now five minutes left to try to see this

:47:15. > :47:20.result through. A huge defensive effort required now. Leinster have

:47:21. > :47:24.the position they went on the ten metre line. The ball is in the hands

:47:25. > :47:32.of Strauss. Leavy, well tackled. Good thumping

:47:33. > :47:57.hit by Robbie Diack. There will be no rush from Ulster to

:47:58. > :48:02.get this ball. They will take their time. That substitution is happening

:48:03. > :48:06.now, and opportunity for a line-out coming off the sideline with four

:48:07. > :48:11.minutes to go. His first input into the game is to take a crucial

:48:12. > :48:17.line-out flow and secure possession for Ulster and wind down the clock.

:48:18. > :48:23.29th cap for John Andrew. Herring has skippered the side on 26

:48:24. > :48:31.occasions, and he now leads the field. His younger brother Ricky

:48:32. > :48:38.Andrew had a spell with Ulster as a full-back. The referee won't be

:48:39. > :48:43.happy with this. He told them to get on with it. McCall passes on the

:48:44. > :48:49.relevant information to Andrew, who has to get the throw right. Just

:48:50. > :48:59.about. The referee says that was knocked back. O'Connor maybe nudged

:49:00. > :49:07.it forward. Marshall, clever kick. Well taken by Adam Byrne. Stockdale

:49:08. > :49:14.being blocked cleverly there. That has gone wide into touch. We have

:49:15. > :49:19.three minutes remaining. Leinster making the errors you don't expect

:49:20. > :49:24.the best side in the league to make. They are being forced into it by the

:49:25. > :49:28.Ulster defence. They struggle to unlock it and those outside men

:49:29. > :49:33.shooting that overhead pass which limited accuracy over that distance.

:49:34. > :49:37.For Ulster now, with under three minutes left on the clock, you feel

:49:38. > :49:43.this is all about securing possession and not letting it get

:49:44. > :49:46.back into blue hands. Ricky Lutton cramping up after putting in a huge

:49:47. > :49:49.shift and another player who has done himself proud on his last game

:49:50. > :50:13.for Ulster. Well, his final game for Ulster, he

:50:14. > :50:20.scored the opening try this game and is not surprisingly, no sentiment

:50:21. > :50:29.involved and Roger Wilson is man of the match. Ulster have won the

:50:30. > :50:32.line-out. And they are digging in. Two and a half minutes to go. It's

:50:33. > :50:40.all about possession now for Ulster. Taken on now by McCloskey. Henry.

:50:41. > :50:55.Master of the sleight of hand. Ulster come thundering in. Ulster

:50:56. > :51:00.did not need to give away that penalty. All they had to do is sit

:51:01. > :51:04.in Leinster territory and dig in. Now they have given the ball back to

:51:05. > :51:08.Leinster who will flow absolutely everything, including the kitchen

:51:09. > :51:13.sink, at its. They could've done with one more opportunity. They are

:51:14. > :51:17.a team capable of scoring from anywhere although Ulster have done

:51:18. > :51:21.well to contain them during this match but opportunity now in the

:51:22. > :51:25.dying minutes of this game to steal the lead from Ulster. They have not

:51:26. > :51:32.looked like winning this game throughout. Could well end up doing

:51:33. > :51:39.so full we have just over one minute remaining. Leinster Ulster's ten

:51:40. > :51:52.metre line. Leavy at the back of the line-out. That didn't look

:51:53. > :51:59.altogether straight. Is just about all. Ruddock signed across the line.

:52:00. > :52:06.Ulster very nearly choked them again. Taken on by Leinster. Still

:52:07. > :52:12.motoring forward. A penalty is no good for them. They need a title win

:52:13. > :52:20.this game. Ulster win the penalty. 40 seconds remaining. The clock will

:52:21. > :52:28.take and take and take and now 30 seconds remaining and can Ulster eat

:52:29. > :52:37.something out of this? You gave away the penalty. Have Leinster been

:52:38. > :52:44.ruined? Will this be the perfect farewell for Roger Wilson and to

:52:45. > :52:50.Pienaar? Jackson kicks the ball. He has found a very good touch. It is

:52:51. > :52:56.time for Leinster because we are in the red zone likewise. The last

:52:57. > :53:00.breakdown will herald the end of this game and Ulster find themselves

:53:01. > :53:06.with a line-out, which has been pretty awful for just about all of

:53:07. > :53:11.this evening inside Leinster's territory. All they have to do is

:53:12. > :53:17.captured and held it and kick it into touch. O'Connor has done well

:53:18. > :53:22.and they are hanging onto it. Marshall puts it away.

:53:23. > :53:26.FULL-TIME WHISTLE Ulster have won the season. The

:53:27. > :53:31.players themselves and coaching staff would have wished that had

:53:32. > :53:36.been the case for the whole season. Small consolation. Always great to

:53:37. > :53:40.beat their nearest and dearest rivals but, on an occasion like

:53:41. > :53:46.this, as Ulster Rugby says farewell to the genius which is Pienaar and

:53:47. > :53:51.the man himself Roger Wilson, it hasn't been a bad day 's work at the

:53:52. > :53:57.Kingspan Stadium. A glimpse of what Ulster can deliver when they put

:53:58. > :54:00.their minds to it. If they start of next season as they finished this

:54:01. > :54:11.one, who knows what they may achieve. Chris Henry, one of the

:54:12. > :54:16.many replacements. It's farewell to Wilson and Pienaar and Lutton, and

:54:17. > :54:21.the coaches. Good luck to all of them and thanks for very many

:54:22. > :54:26.memories. People come and live here and enjoy a long time in Northern

:54:27. > :54:28.Ireland which has become his home. The final score, what a night at

:54:29. > :54:39.Kingspan. 17-13. Stephen and Eddie Albert as for

:54:40. > :54:46.about 15 minutes or so as we reflect on an excellent game and a super win

:54:47. > :54:51.and Ulster showing what might have been this season. Yes, definitely. I

:54:52. > :54:54.think it was the last couple of minutes of that match where they

:54:55. > :54:57.kept making mistakes of the line-out, kept giving the ball back

:54:58. > :55:02.to Leinster that they kept defending. And they've got to carry

:55:03. > :55:09.that into pre-season and into next season. When you have a foundation

:55:10. > :55:13.where you work hard for one another, success will come. They have got a

:55:14. > :55:18.great squad, as Eddie referred to at the top of the show. Some good

:55:19. > :55:23.players coming in next year. Yes, they have a few guys leaving but, at

:55:24. > :55:28.the same time, this squad of players is capable of a lot. We are going to

:55:29. > :55:35.miss Pienaar, what is given to Ulster rugby over the years that

:55:36. > :55:39.next season is another year. Roger Wilson, on his final Ulster

:55:40. > :55:45.appearance, is the man of the match. It wasn't a sentimental decision. It

:55:46. > :55:50.was all on ability tonight. Roger, fairy tale ending. What an

:55:51. > :55:56.atmosphere down here. Yes, some atmosphere. That all I could ask

:55:57. > :56:01.for, from a team point of view, is to try to give the fans something to

:56:02. > :56:05.shout about towards the end of the season. It hasn't been the greatest

:56:06. > :56:12.season but it was great to sign off on a performance like that. My first

:56:13. > :56:20.try so better late than never. You are living in your own terms. How

:56:21. > :56:25.are you feeling? It's been a long time I've been playing now, 15

:56:26. > :56:31.years. I'm fortunate to have been in the game that long. To go out like

:56:32. > :56:35.this with a victory against one of your rivals, you couldn't ask for

:56:36. > :56:39.more than that so I'm very happy with the way things have gone. We

:56:40. > :56:46.will let you enjoy the celebrations but we present you with your man of

:56:47. > :56:52.the match award. Roger Wilson, deserve and the match, Eddie. At

:56:53. > :56:57.times like this, you wish he had the desire to play on for another year.

:56:58. > :57:05.Yes, he started early in the game, he showed urgency, and to Ulster off

:57:06. > :57:10.to a great start and played very hard. He deserved his welcome at the

:57:11. > :57:12.end. He deserved the man of the match award. He's been a great

:57:13. > :57:21.servant to rugby and that performance today, it put a smile on

:57:22. > :57:29.the Ulster players' faces. Can they continue this into next season? How

:57:30. > :57:32.do you make that performance stick? I think they can but a lot of things

:57:33. > :57:35.will have to be addressed pre-season. They have got to work

:57:36. > :57:39.hard on their mentality when things get tough. I think Andrew Trimble

:57:40. > :57:45.referred to it in the media this week that may be they do try too

:57:46. > :57:51.hard at times, when they are under the pump, they cave in. That comes

:57:52. > :57:54.from the coaching staff, they need to give the lads belief and the need

:57:55. > :58:02.to make sure they are well prepared. They have got the squad and they can

:58:03. > :58:08.compete and they just need to put it all together. Ruan is off to

:58:09. > :58:19.pastures new, very emotional tonight. It's a IR SQ decision.

:58:20. > :58:24.You've been in the heart of that. Do think it's fair he is being forced

:58:25. > :58:30.to leave? It's a harsh girl because Ruan has been here for seven years

:58:31. > :58:40.and has contributed hugely outside the game. The system they use seems

:58:41. > :58:45.straightforward. He will have one overseas position. In France of the

:58:46. > :58:50.moment, you have Munster, and Leinster, so it would seem the

:58:51. > :58:55.position is open but there's another layer to that where it's going to be

:58:56. > :58:59.a case of him staying for a certain amount of time and that harsh when

:59:00. > :59:05.you contributed so much. His children are here, his family, his

:59:06. > :59:10.dad is flown in from South Africa. Johann Muller, his friend, is here

:59:11. > :59:15.as well. He's turned down bigger contracts in the past to go to

:59:16. > :59:18.France. He has shown a lot of loyalty to Ulster rugby so you can

:59:19. > :59:27.understand why he's frustrated he has to go. It Irish rugby, the boys

:59:28. > :59:31.around him, Paddy Jackson, even big McCloskey in the centre, they learn

:59:32. > :59:36.so much from Pienaar and he will be sorely missed. At the same time, you

:59:37. > :59:38.can understand from a rugby point of view, he is blocking an Irish

:59:39. > :59:44.qualified scrum-half in the Ulster ranks. That's the way it goes into

:59:45. > :59:50.fashion a rugby. He understands that and has got to move on to pastures

:59:51. > :59:56.new. We wish them all the very best. What can this type of performance

:59:57. > :00:01.tonight do for Ulster rugby as we see Ruan getting a hug from his

:00:02. > :00:11.wife? What can it do for Ulster as they tried to rediscover next

:00:12. > :00:15.season's form was to mark you got to be careful. This evening, very

:00:16. > :00:19.emotional. Roger Wilson stepping down. Changes in the backroom staff.

:00:20. > :00:23.This performance was driven by emotion and you have got to keep

:00:24. > :00:28.that emotion but it's very difficult over a season. He won't get it done

:00:29. > :00:31.next year on emotional. There's technical aspects to be addressed.

:00:32. > :00:47.Let's hear from Ruan. Sum up your emotions. Let's talk

:00:48. > :00:54.about the game first, my bees, great to go out with a win. It is credit

:00:55. > :01:01.to the boys. They showed a lot of character. It is a great sendoff for

:01:02. > :01:06.Roger as well, ending his career, Franco, all those guys moving on,

:01:07. > :01:10.just happy we got the win. Special way to do it. There are so many fans

:01:11. > :01:16.here and a lot of fans at home, do you have a message? Thank you for

:01:17. > :01:23.the last seven years. I will be sad to leave this place. We can leave on

:01:24. > :01:30.a high. That is probably the only positive. I am happy that the guys

:01:31. > :01:39.got us the win. It is a sad day today. You have a long lap to do, we

:01:40. > :01:45.will let you go. Easy to understand the emotion. I am welling up here

:01:46. > :01:51.myself. I tear came to my eyes. It brings back memories of playing

:01:52. > :01:57.alongside Ruan Pienaar and being in the Heineken Cup finals and having

:01:58. > :02:02.our backs for many years. He is an absolute genius on the pitch, he

:02:03. > :02:06.brings so much to the squad are back pitch as well and you can see how

:02:07. > :02:11.much it means to him. His family, his wife coming onto the pitch, it

:02:12. > :02:15.means so much to the family. They are moving on, but they can leave

:02:16. > :02:22.with fond memories of Ulster rugby. You can see that this is not

:02:23. > :02:26.someone, men to do is shift and then moving on, he sees himself as an

:02:27. > :02:34.Ulster man and the fact that he will come back here to live says

:02:35. > :02:37.something about it. It is sad, bittersweet, he has changed the face

:02:38. > :02:43.of Ulster rugby in many ways, the players around him, he has won the

:02:44. > :02:48.Ulster supporters over from day one and that is because of what he has

:02:49. > :02:55.brought to Ulster rugby. There is a legacy from that and it is a pity

:02:56. > :02:59.that he has to walk away. These are fabulous scenes, as we see Roger

:03:00. > :03:05.Wilson has got his young baby on there. It is the same that this win

:03:06. > :03:09.did not mean something tonight, in the context of qualifying. Everyone

:03:10. > :03:13.is all smiles but when it comes down to it, all stood just were not good

:03:14. > :03:18.enough this season. They did not deserve to be the top four, the

:03:19. > :03:23.inconsistencies every week, they did not deserve to be in the top force

:03:24. > :03:26.when they analyse the season and start pre-season again, they have to

:03:27. > :03:32.have a realistic goal, not the goal of being at the world's best team

:03:33. > :03:35.within five years, you have to set realistic goals, every team in this

:03:36. > :03:39.competition is tough to beat and getting into the semi-finals,

:03:40. > :03:45.quarterfinals is hard work and they have to set realistic goals. How big

:03:46. > :03:51.our help do you think Les Kiss will be when he has other backroom team

:03:52. > :03:58.coming in, what difference will that make? John O'Dowd is considered as

:03:59. > :04:03.one of the best coaches in the world and he has been in Ireland before.

:04:04. > :04:07.He has been at the top of the game, so he should bring a lot to the

:04:08. > :04:13.party. I think you have got to be careful, to expect an assistant

:04:14. > :04:19.coach to come in and change momentum around a club is an extraordinary

:04:20. > :04:23.expectation. The head coach is the man who really is charged with

:04:24. > :04:28.driving this. This year has been bad and the emotion today is great. I am

:04:29. > :04:34.so happy for the team to finish on a high. Look at the season overall,

:04:35. > :04:37.look at the inconsistencies, if you look at anything today that was

:04:38. > :04:42.different, it is that the defence today, it was the best defensive

:04:43. > :04:46.shift we have seen all year and that is the key to winning the game but

:04:47. > :04:52.at the end we still saw the heebie-jeebies creep in. There are

:04:53. > :04:55.so many boxes that need to be ticked to get this team to where it needs

:04:56. > :05:01.to be and it can be an next season is a fresh start but there is a lot

:05:02. > :05:07.of work ahead. Ruan Pienaar, as we are seeing here tonight, has made a

:05:08. > :05:11.very big impression during his seven years at Ulster. We have been

:05:12. > :05:14.following him on his final weeks, spending time behind-the-scenes with

:05:15. > :05:22.him and his family reflecting on what has been a memorable time in

:05:23. > :05:26.Northern Ireland both on and off the pitch. It is all good memories that

:05:27. > :05:32.I can hold onto. Hopefully I can come back one day and just settle in

:05:33. > :05:37.Northern Ireland and remember all the good times we had. And that is

:05:38. > :05:43.all for a special BBC Sport documentary coming up later this

:05:44. > :05:48.month on BBC One. Thank you for your company, both of you all season, a

:05:49. > :05:53.good end tonight but disappointing season overall. It is a

:05:54. > :05:57.disappointing season and just watching Ruan Pienaar are there in

:05:58. > :06:01.his house, I played against a in under 21 World Cup a long time ago,

:06:02. > :06:04.ten years ago and who would have thought he would have been signing

:06:05. > :06:09.off on his last game at Ulster all those years ago and I remember then,

:06:10. > :06:12.he was a top-class player and he leaves Kingspan Stadium a top-class

:06:13. > :06:20.player and we look forward to seeing him in the future. Thank you very

:06:21. > :06:22.much, it is a finish at Kingspan Stadium tonight for Ulster, they

:06:23. > :06:27.have finished the season when they went. From all of us here, enjoy the

:06:28. > :06:44.rest of your weekend. Goodbye. -- with a win.

:06:45. > :07:20.It's cold. Tastes a bit like avocado.

:07:21. > :07:23.And soon we're all going to be eating them.
