Leinster celebrate their third try of the evening
Tries from Lions duo Jack Conan and Robbie Henshaw did the damage for Leinster in a hard-earned 21-17 win over Ulster at the RDS Arena.
Following Munster s defeat to Connacht, Leinster are now right back in the hunt for a place in next month’s north-versus-south Guinness Pro14 Rainbow Cup final.
An intense first half finished at seven points apiece, Cian Healy cancelling out Robert Baloucoune’s opening try with both defences thoroughly tested throughout.
Following a Billy Burns penalty, the hosts kicked it up a gear with replacement Conan and player of the match Henshaw both crossing before Craig Gilroy’s late score.
