More twists remain, but for now this is do or die for Leinster and Ulster

Leinster scrum coach Robin McBryde: 'Ulster will be looking to get a bit of revenge'

Now or never. Winner takes all. Do or die. Whatever way you cut it, Ulster need a win when Leinster rock up to the Kingspan Stadium this evening for a game that could decide which side makes it through to the Guinness PRO14 final from Conference A.

We say ‘could’ not so much because there are two more rounds left after this. Leinster bring a six-point cushion to Belfast, after all, and they are more or less guaranteed to take care of Zebre and Ospreys in the remaining fixtures, regardless of what happens here.
