Under-21 Interprovincials Leinster 37 Ulster 6Leinster under-21s went some way towards making up for last week's tame loss to Connacht by routing Ulster under-21s at Donnybrook last night.

Leinster adapted to the wet conditions quicker with outhalf Jonathan Sexton striking a third-minute drop-goal and 19th minute penalty to settle the home side.

Centre Conor Donohoe broke through Ulster's midfield for the opening try and Sexton's crossfield kick was collected by Kevin Barden for the second as Leinster raced to a 25-3 lead at the break.

Hooker Cian Culleton and fullback Fionn Carr had second-half tries for a dominant Leinster.
