What a night. Brilliant atmosphere and brilliant performance. Cooney with ice in the veins for that last penalty. Buzzing.

[@meeftastic]

Imagine being John Cooney hearing 18,000 people chanting your name near 80mins.
I was at this game and truly one of my favourite Ulster games that I've seen at Ravenhill. Hats off to Leinster and good luck next week you were great out there.
This game had it all - comedy, mistakes, questionable refereeing and a late winner.
#SUFTUM

[@yorkymc]

[@joekdp]

I love to complain about shite highlights, but this, GREAT Highlights. Good job!!

[@eoin8156]

Leinster fan here , was at the game and the atmosphere was brilliant. Hopefully Ulster have turned a corner under Murphy now.

[@justinlynch715]

Congrats from a Munster fan. From highlights it seemed you should have put another 14 points on them. It looks like Ulster butchered two tries at least. Well done again And glad to see confidence being rebuilt in the team.

[@johnhanson5943]

Fanatastic! Well done Ulster. One to remember.

[@daveh2344]

Well done Ulster. Looking forward to seeing seeing you in Limerick June 1st. Munster and Ulster. 2 teams in great form. Come on Munster secure the top spot and home advantage

[@kevinrtres]

Great teams, great game - maybe what should be a preview of the final????

[@blackfrisbee6050]

Great result!

[@steveydoesglasgow]

Honestly one of the best nights I've had at ravenhill in years, place was banging

[@NosajKnows]

We'd win a world cup with Cooney.

[@simonhattrell5321]

Fantastic match. Well done Ulster!

[@duncanb8186]

brilliant match, think that interception was the turning point

[@johncooney417]

Great that Cooney fella! My cousin’s son…

[@geoffallen2835]

US ref. What does Ulster have to do to get a try with this guy?

[@PanglossDr]

Congratulations from a Leinster man.

[@TrevorSmith-nm9mm]

What a great game best team won congratulations from a Dub

[@tinsg1]

Cooney on fire

[@andrewcowman8731]

Luke McGrath was central to this loss along with Ulster picking up the pace. Leinster cannot play off such incredibly slow ruck or maul ball. 2 looks for runners but 4-5 & then they're already stationary. Good win for Ulster

[@Turrf17]

Suftum!❤️🖤🤍

[@jammyd33]

where was Baloucoune?

[@paulreavey1640]

injured

[@bobfranklin4695]

Please excuse my ignorance but at the start of the vid as the teams are coming out, is that the Russian anthem being played? Hopefully somebody will tell me what it is and why.

[@hotbeefymcd8162]

It's Stand Up for the Ukstermen to the tune of Go West by the Pet Shop Boys

[@JohnSmith-wo2fz]

The russian anthem sounds nothing like that.

[@ninasmyth6816]

Come on lads

[@jasonking6892]

The commentary is awful

[@lloydftz65]

well done Ulster beating Leinster 2nd team.

[@Glenn036]

Twice🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnSmith-wo2fz]

That's Leinsters choice to send their 2nd team. If they want to keep getting whipped they can continue to do so.

[@ninasmyth6816]

First comment

[@one_eyed_odin]

Imagine celebrating a nothing game 😅

[@conormcconaghy9251]

Shut up

[@Extremesmoltentom]

Darby, champions cup place at play, home and away wins against Leinster this season, top of Irish shield

[@lyellclare9365]

Leinster need to get a new number 9..he is slow to make decisions, slow to pass and has very poor field vision.
