Declan Bogue Reports from Kingspan Ravenhill Ulster 20 Leinster 27 LEINSTER CONTINUE THEIR recent rich form with their seventh consecutive win, this time away to Ulster in the United Rugby Championship when they had Jordan Larmour to think for some quicksilver skills and steps.
While Ulster’s metrics showed that they had the better of things, they still were only three ahead at the break. However the ball almost instantly came back into Ulster hands and some rapid passing through Werner Kok and James McNadney set Ben Carson scampering along the touchline and he went over for the first try. Tricky and tight though the conversion might have been, Doak proved capable.You could hardly call Ross Byrne something of a forgotten fly-half of Irish rugby, but when you have the options available to Andy Farrell right now, it’s easy to overlook some solid performers.
Advertisement Soon after, a head on head clash between Aidan Morgan and Brian Deeny occurred in midfield. Every slow-motion replay on the big screens drew ooohs and aaahs from a crowd held in grim fascination. It was difficult to see how Deeny could have gotten out of the road. Just back from ‘Boks duty, Leinster were wanting their pound of flesh from RG Snyman and when he came on early in the second half, he looked in the mood.
It got a bit try-happy then. Ben Carson picked up his second of the evening with a little spin and half jink to buy enough space in the midst of defensive carnage on 55 minutes, with Doak adding the two points.
