Can anybody stop Leinster?

Leo Cullen’s Leinster put on another absolute masterclass this evening in the PRO14, as they put five tries past Ulster in an absolute demolition of the northern province at the RDS.

Ulster managed late try through Jacob Stockdale, but Leinster ran out 38-7 winners thanks to a man of the match performance from Jordan Larmour, who was simply sensational on the night.

Here are your player ratings.

Leinster:

15. Jordan Larmour – 10
Sensational man of the match performance from the young fullback.

14. Fergus McFadden – 8
Two tries but could have had more. One of his best performances in a blue jersey in a long time.

13. Garry Ringrose – 7.5
Slowly getting back to his best after a long injury lay off. Worryingly came off injured in the second-half, but hopefully isn’t anything too serious.

12. Robbie Henshaw – 9
Some brilliant turnovers and excellent in defence. Has really improved his carrying and passing game too.

11. Barry Daly – 7.5
Good finish, 16

10. Ross Byrne – 8
Controlled the game well, with some excellent passing.

9. Jamison Gibson-Park – 9
Really good game from the scrumhalf, was heavily involved in a lot of the scores.

1. Jack McGrath (captain) – 7.5
Very good shift from the loosehead, particularly good in the opening 20. Slowly finding his form.

2. James Tracy – 6.5
Came off injured after just 26 mins.

3. Tadhg Furlong – 8
Take off as a precaution at the start of the second-half, but was his usual brilliant self in the first.

4. Devin Toner – 7.5
Solid shift from the Ireland lock

5. Scott Fardy – 8.5
Another terrific performance from the Wallaby

6. Josh Murphy – 8
Some brilliant work at the breakdown with some excellent steals.

7. Jordi Murphy – 7.5
Solid shift from the Ulster-bound forward.

8. Jack Conan – 8.5
Outstanding once again.

16. Seán Cronin – (26′ for Tracy) – 7.5

17. Ed Byrne (58′ on for McGrath) – 7

Brilliant in attack at times, but terrible in defence and seriously at fault for Daly’s try.

Stepped into next week by Larmour at one stage.

12. Stuart McCloskey – 5
Not one of his finest performances

Poor by his usual high standards.
