Leinster came back from the disadvantage of playing with 14 men and being 22-3 down to defeat a crestfallen Ulster 38-29 on Saturday night in the URC.

Cian Healy was dismissed on 21 minutes for the hosts. However despite that, Leo Cullen's men claimed 35 unanswered points with five tries as the RDS celebrated.

Ulster had put in a dominant first half display, capped by tries from Rob Herring, Kieran Treadwell and Ethan McIlroy.

However, the visitors were hit by the reduction to 13 men when Nick Timoney and James Hume saw yellows.

Leinster took advantage that with the scores coming their way to make it nine wins from nine in the URC this campaign.

Ulster ended the day in fourth in the League as, alongside this result, they were overtaken by the Bulls and Stormers.
