Leinster beat Ulster handily at the RDS this afternoon, ultimately falling short of the bonus point after a slack second half-display.
Charles Piutau's late try spared Ulster the indignity of leaving Dublin with zero points on the scoreboard. 22-7 was the final score in the end.
The brightest spark from the afternoon was young winger Rory O'Loughlin, who scored two of their three tries. Luke McGrath scored the other.
His first try, after five minutes, was especially memorable. He broke through Ulster's defensive line in midfield, pinned the ears back, side-stepped a couple of tacklers and scampered over in the corner for the try. A smashing score.

Alan Quinlan described it as an incredible score.
