As good a try as I’ve ever seen, proclaims Leo Cullen after Jordan Larmour spectacular

Interprovincial rivalries are one thing but when a try as good as Jordan Larmour’s gets scored, it was easy to find common ground among the opposing coaches after last night’s Munster-Leinster showdown.

Larmour’s 70th-minute score, which saw the Leinster academy full-back score from 60 metres out, leaving three Munster players for dead in the process, sealed the bonus point for the visitors in what would be a 34-24 victory in front of a sell-out Thomond Park crowd.

The 21-year-old’s effort, which also saw Larmour hold off an excellent last-ditch tackle from Simon Zebo, put his side into a 32-19 lead and was, said his head coach Leo Cullen: “As good a try as I’ve ever seen. Pretty amazing, particularly in a fixture of this magnitude. Amazing bit of individual brilliance from him which extends out the score and we’re able to take a sigh of relief because I was getting a bit nervous before that.”
