Leinster women deliver resounding bonus point win over Ulster to set up Donnybrook showdown

They hosts held their Northern guests scoreless to tee up a clash with Munster next weekend.

Leinster 46

Ulster 0

IT WAS ONE-WAY traffic from the off as Leinster delivered a firm statement of intent in their inter-provincial clash with Ulster.

They claimed a bonus-point win after a relentless performance at home.

The side from the east led 17-0 at the break thanks to tries from Alisa Hughes and Katie Fitzhenry while Jenny Murphyโ€™s excellent kicking did the rest.

Fitzhenry ran over for another shortly after the restart while Paula Fitzpatrick added a brace. Hannah Tyrrell also got in on the act while Niamh Byrne put the icing on the cake and touched down following some terrific work from Kim Flood.

Munsterโ€™s slender victory over Connacht earlier in the day means it will be blue versus red in Donnybrook next weekend in the championship decider.

    Signing a new contract means nothing now. It was only last December Suarez signed a long term contract with Liverpool and committed his future to them!

    Hopefully we can hold on to him. Madrid and Barcelona usually get there man if they want. Give him a 5 year contract and put a 50m price tag on his head to try and put them off.
