Leo Cullen praised his players for their huge defensive effort as Leinster completed their Guinness PRO14 campaign unbeaten to secure the title for the third year in a row.

Non-playing and soon to retire veterans Rob Kearney and Fergus McFadden raised the trophy aloft at a near-empty Aviva Stadium on Saturday night with no spectators allowed in due to Covid-19 restrictions, after seeing their squad-mates come back from conceding an early James Hume try to Ulster to run out comfortable 27-5 winners.
