Heineken Cup Final: Leinster 42-14 Ulster

Leinster's Sean Cronin is congratulated on his scoreIn an all Irish final at Twickenham, Leinster ran riot over Ulster with a 42-point drubbing of their fellow Irishmen.

Tries from O’Brien, Healy, Van der Merwe and Cronin built up Leinster’s unsurpassable tally but Ulster only managed one try during a high-paced Heineken Cup final.

Two early bursts from Darren Cave gave Leinster an early warning from the underdogs and it wasn’t long before Ruan Pienaar provided the game with its opening points from the kicking tee.

Ulster and Leinster set for all Irish battle in Heineken Cup final

Twickenham will stage an all-Irish showdown this weekend.

Ulster secured their place in the Heineken Cup final after beating Edinburgh, the first Scottish team to make it into the semi-finals in the tournament's history. Ulster's opponents Leinster narrowly beat Clermont earlier to book their place in the final.

Leinster are on the brink of greatness if they can beat Heineken Cup underdogs Ulster at Twickenham on Saturday. But equal levels of greatness await Ulster if they can overcome the two-time competition champions.
