In awful conditions at the Aviva Stadium, Leinster controlled the game expertly to cruise past Ulster and into the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals. For Ulster boss Dan McFarland, their conquerers' game management was the most impressive aspect of the tie.

“We probably lacked a little bit of discipline that gave access. They were ruthless, particularly off the back of our scores which didn’t allow us to gain any momentum,” he explained.
