Wasn't able to properly watch the game live yesterday but watching it back this morning (and knowing the result) Leinster actually looked better than I'd expected. A few wildly frustrating minutes before half time aside, we largely controlled the game against a good Ulster side.

Such a weird game. So many positives from Ulster, yet a loss. Don’t think they made the most of how lacklustre Leinster were in the first 50. World class Leinster replacements made a huge difference when all Ulster had were kids. But, jeez, that feels like a missed opportunity, somehow #LEIvULS
Never in doubt.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to do an hour of deep breathing exercises.

After that 1st half I'd have taken 5 match points any which way - didnt make it easy for ourselves but got every drop out of the bench. The coast to coast try shows how we want to play but up to that point Ulster had our number as have others. Classic tough Conan display, deserved PotM #LEIvULS
Does anyone in Ulster recognise the importance of a 23-player squad in the modern game? #LEIvULS
That trumpeter has gotten awfully quiet. #LEIvULS
Fail to see how that knock down prevented a line break, when they got a line break from it 😂 the benefits you get when you’re Leinster I suppose #LEIvULS
Ah Dave McCann, it was all going so well #LEIvULS
Leinster players losing their heads cause they aren’t used to being this shite 😂 #LEIvULS
Why are they showing replays of the recent Ireland-South Africa game?
What? Ryan has done WHAT again??? #LEIvULS
James Ryan and his ruck entries, like... #LEIvULS
Can't believe that scoreline. #leivuls
Doesnt matter how powerful the bench is when the decision making and execution of 9 and esp 10 is this poor for leinster #leivuls
Cavey at the slagging off the scrums, now. Fuck sake. Without the scrum, you have six back row forwards roaming around and no space. All the rugby that you like needs the space the scrum creates. I say more scrums! #LEIvULS
16 phases of pick and go around the fringes. With no back options. No go forward options. Leinster are dreadful

Absolutely pathetic first 40 from Leinster. Fair play to Ulster for taking their chances though. What happened to building a score before trying fancy crap? As for our D, it’s inexistent. Coaches and players have an awful lot to answer for this season #LEIvULS
Better side ahead ..uls doing much more w less ball.. #leivuls
Not great tackling for try #3 but it's Leinster's attack once more that has been poor, Ulster more pouncing on possessions gone awry. Inaccurate kicks the biggest issue, very much need to simplify. I didn't want to rely on our bench but I fear we'll have to. Stockdale superb at 15 so far #LEIvULS
#LEIvUls The head contact stuff is mad. Last year the refs were talking themselves into cards this year they seem to be talking their way out of cards
James Lowe should’ve retired a season ago, turned into an embarrassment, yet he himself still thinks he’s the dogs bollocks 😂 #LEIvULS
Leinster are asking an awful lot of Rieko playing in between Sam, Tector, and Lowe on defense... So many lazy turnstile arms out there #LEIvULS
We are terrible and it’s all my jumper’s fault. #LEIvULS
James Lowe missing two tackles on one carry there leading to a try? Love to see it! #LEIvULS
