    "I felt really proud and privileged as ever. When the crowd are shouting my name I feel really blessed and lucky, I just have a a lot of gratitude,

    "I feel like there is a lot of good rugby ahead of me and I feel lucky to be in this job and get paid for doing what I do." He continued.

    FT: Ulster 23-21 Leinster

    Ulster have won it at the death!

    And with the win they guarantee a play-off spot.

    The hosts were fantastic throughout in what was possibly the best game of the URC this season. Leinster were clinical but overall were second best.

    John Cooney with the deciding kick in the final minute to send the Kingspan faithful crazy.

    Ulster 20-21 Leinster

    What a game we have on our hands as we enter the last seven minutes.

    Ulster are throwing their all at Leinster, who are hanging on a little.

    Some huge collisions from both squads.

    Ulster 20-21 Leinster

    After making a couple of errors, Tom Stewart makes a fantastic turnover on his own try-line. A sure try saver.

    Ulster survive, but they concede a penalty for offside in their 22 and Leinster go to touch five-metres out.

    Ulster 20-21 Leinster

    Ulster with a lineout on their own five-metre line, but it's a skewed throw from Tom Stewart and it's a scrum Leinster. Big chance.

  12. Close!published at 21:11 18 May

    Ulster 20-21 Leinster

    Max Deegan almost touches down in the corner after some sustained Leinster pressure, but take a bow Mike Lowry.

    Jacob Stockdale (58 mins)

    It's classic Jacob Stockdale.

    The big winger with an intercept on the edge of his own 22 and he runs 70 metres to touchdown. Once he is top-ear there is no stopping him.

    John Cooney with a superb conversion from wide-left. Back to a one-point game

  16. Try Ulster 13-21 Leinsterpublished at 20:56 18 May

    Michael Ala'alatoa (53 mins)

    Leinster are ruthless once more.

    Phase-after-phase close to the host's line and there was a feeling of inevitability when Michael Ala'alatoa drives over from a metre.

    Harry Byrne with the extras.
