Leinster are in the midst of a highly entertaining Irish URC derby clash with Ulster in Dublin.
Despite dreadful weather, the two sides have played some exceptional attacking rugby in the first half.
Ulster came out hot to race into a 12 – 0 lead as flyhalf Billy Burns set up two scintillating tries with clever kicks that exploited Leinster’s rush defence.
Leinster showed their quality to reel in their visitors and take a 14 – 12 lead.
Now firmly in the ascendancy it appeared as though Leinster would kick on and very nearly scored on several occasions.
Despite the pressure being exerted on them, Ulster stood firm and found their way over for their third try. Creating the score was Billy Burns, who has been on fire this evening in setting up all of Ulster’s tries with cleverly placed kicks.
The third try was a pinpoint crossfield effort for backrow Nick Timoney to get his second of the evening.
Ulster deservedly lead 19 – 14 at the break.
