A selection of the “keyboard warrior” reactions after the full-time whistle of our featured matches of the weekend.
If you’d like to contribute stay tuned to our Facebook page for our “Feel free to leave your thoughts…” posts which show up around full time after Leinster & Ireland matches.
To say Clancy favoured Ulster would be a massive understatement. Only bothered to referee one side. I know Leinster were lethargic in the latter stages of the second half but that scoreline greatly flatters Ulster.
I hope we meet again in the knockout stages, we owe them one after that...

Leinster....that was just not good enough, an awful lot of work to be done.

Pre match interview with Leo told a lot. He talked about Leinster players looking to impress to get on SA tour rather than a desire to win the match and finish season as strongly as possible. Our failure to score when we get within 5 metres of the line is a recurring problem (And George Clancy does what he does best - inept!)

They don't come much better than that. What a result for Ulster Rugby against bogey side and interprovincial rivals Leinster this afternoon.

Boring and predictable!
Tom Clarke
Well that sucked balls

Well done Ulster bullied us up front and their back had a game plan which we didn't if l hadn't have seen Matt OConnor on tv in Australia this morning l would have thought he was back in charge we were awful and lm really sorry to say if this is the best Dempsey has to offer our back players will it not good enough and we will have to bring someone else in to do the job we have the players to be winning in style

So so proud of our boys today! They played a blinder! #SUFTUM ⚪

The Leinster players were exhausted after that big European game last week. We need a week off before these big derbys....oh wait, that was a tweet from 5 years ago....
And I think we need a backs coach...

What is most satisfying is that Uls played some excellent rugby. Attacking shape is really good

Why did we take a lineout when our scrum was so far on top? It could easily have been a penalty try or a sin binning.
Nothing to offer in attack and there's no excuse for Dave and Isa leaving their man to tackle someone else's man.
We need a director of rugby as Leo's backroom have added nothing to out attack. Leo said that some of players were playing to get their names on the SA tour list, every single player who had his mind on June and not an interpro game V Ulster should have been cut from the team until their concentration was on Leinster.

Well I'd like those 80mins of my life back Well done Ulster FT 30-6 #ULSvLEIN It's still in our own hands Leinster. Must try harder.

From an Ulster viewpoint when I saw Clancy was the ref my heart sank but I think he was quite lenient towards Ulster today. Thought Leinster's bench might win the match for them but have to say I thought Ulster really fronted up, had more variety and imagine to their game and generally wanted the win more. Few cracking performances from the boys. Jackson had a great game and Payne for me is a cracking fullback. Fully expect a big response however if these teams meet again at the RDS in a few weeks time!!
Craig Boyd
Congrats to Ulster, clearly wanted (and needed) it more. 3 provinces in final 4 and all 4 in Europe still v much on the cards. #COYBIB
