Heineken Cup Final: Leinster 42-14 Ulster
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.

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