    John Cooney chooses to go for the posts.

  2. Kick-off

    Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    Billy Burns kicks long for Ulster to get the ball rolling in this second half. The northern province have it all to do.

  4. Half-time

    HT: Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    Nothing comes of the ulster lineout as Jamison Gibson-Park kicks the ball dead after a steal.

    Ulster shared possession and territory, but against the best you have to come away with points and having failed to do so, Richie Murphy's men have it all to do in the second half.

  5. Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    Caelin Doris pulls a maul down on his own line but somehow referee Andrew Brace awards a penalty only. Real shout for a penalty try there.

  6. Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    Penalty to Ulster 25-metres out. Billy Burns goes to the corner. They have to come away with something this time.

  7. Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    Stop in play as Ulster's Dave McCann receiving treatment for what looks like a head knock, but he plays on.

    Cormac Izuchukwu has not returned.

  8. try

    Try Leinster 17-0 Ulster

    James Lowe (34 mins)

    The boys in blue have really stepped up a gear this last few minutes and are rewarded with a try from winger James Lowe for his eighth of the season.

    Ross Byrne with a short inside path down the right flank to Lowe, and he has too much gas for Stewart Moore.

    Byrne grabs the extras. Ulster must score next.

  9. Leinster 10-0 Ulster

    Joe McCarthy gets over Matty Rea and forces the penalty for not releasing. Must be close to a starting berth for Andy Farrell's Ireland squad for the SA tour this summer.

  10. Penalty Leinster 10-0 Ulster

    Ross Byrne (31 mins)

    No mistake from straight in front from Ross Byrne.

  11. Leinster 7-0 Ulster

    Penalty given to Leinster on the edge of the Ulster 22 for a high tackle from Will Addison on Ross Byrne. Nothing more than a penalty.

    Byrne will go for the posts.

  12. Leinster 7-0 Ulster

    Ulster are not deterred by conceding that try as they are back on the front foot. Smart kick from Jacob Stockdale just inside his half, deep into the Leinster corner, but Jamison Gibson-Park is extremely calm in getting his team out of a precarious position, and clears.

  13. Cooney takes a tumble!

  14. 'Ruthless' Leinster

    That's quite a soft try but that's the problem against one of the top sides - you give them one chance and they are ruthless

  15. try

    Try Leinster 7-0 Ulster

    Robbie Henshaw (21 mins)

    As has been the case in so many meetings of these sides, Ulster dominating but Leinster show their ruthlessness with the opening try.

    Some smart hands in midfield by Tadhg Furlong and Jamie Osborne, leads to the latter popping a pass right, to Robbie Henshaw who has a clear run in from 30 metres.

    Ross Byrne pops over the extras.

  16. Leinster 0-0 Ulster

    The hosts persisting with carries through the "guts" of Ulster, but again their hands let them down and Billy Burns kicks back down the field towards the Leinster 22.

    Bad news as Cormac Izuchukwu leaves the field for what looks like a HIA. Fingers crossed he makes a return.

  17. Leinster 0-0 Ulster

    Leinster finally get their hands on the ball and kick their way out of their 22.

  18. No try

    Leinster 0-0 Ulster

    No clear evidence of Nick Timoney grounding the ball after some heavy carries.

    Ulster are straight back on the front foot, but they must come away with something.

  19. TMO Check

    Leinster 0-0 Ulster

    Did Nick Timoney ground the ball? Let's see

  20. Leinster 0-0 Ulster

    Ulster recover from a creaking scrum to drive into the Leinster 22.

    First, Stuart McCloskey with a hard carry before that man Cormac Izuchukwu bursts through a tackle before offloading to Matty Rea but his offload is knocked away by the home defence.

    Ulster are back on the attack though...
