Ulster 38 – 16 Edinburgh
19.14 – TRY: Bit of a lacklustre start from the hosts, and Edinburgh profit.
Some nice offloading on the left wing from Scott and Tom Brown drove at the line.
Without too much effort the black shirts spun the ball to the right where Seb Visser was only too willing to ground an easy chance.
Conversion missed.
19.34 – While Nigel Owens is giving Ulises Gamboa a lecture on what is and is not binding, we’ll bring you news from Italy.
Ian Madigan has just kicked another penalty to bring the score to 6-12. Leinster lead with 10 minutes remaining.
19.42 – Now just as I said that the game hit a bit of a lull, but we’re back in full swing now.
Godman attempted a cross-kick and Tim Visser leapt to claim, but couldn’t.
On the follow-up Brown caught possession, but ran out of ground with Gilroy positioned well to defend.
19.54 – Over in Italy, Leinster have ran out eventual winners thanks to a try from substitute Noel Reid.
Madigan converts, adding to his five penalties to give Leinster the 22-6 win.
19.59 – Godman has added a straightforward penalty for the visitors just before the whistle.
The half time score is 21-8.
20.21 – Physios took no chances, but he’s holding his own oxygen mask as they stretcher him off. So that’s not too bad of a sign.
Back to the action and Neil McComb is on the field for a five-meter scrum.
20.33 – Agonisingly close for Edinburgh, they breeze forward and a super step from Scott and a handoff to gilroyhas him five meters out.
Willie Faloon smashes him into touch and the off-load is forward.
John Afoa is really enjoying himself tonight. Ian Humphreys with the clearing kick to halfway.
21.10 – Well, that’s just about it from me. Another clinical and at times scintillating display from Ulster under those magic lights at Ravenhill.
A good night too for Leinster, winning 22-6 in Aironi.
Alas, Connacht are currently trailing 31- 10 away to the Scarlets.

I’m off to see how Rory McIlroy is doing.
SUFTUM.
