RECAP: Leinster v Ulster
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our coverage of the Pro14 Final between Leinster and Ulster in Dublin.
Former Ulsterman Ruan Pienaar, who represented the club 141 times, believes it is a “massive” achievement for the team to make this weekend’s Pro14 Final against defending champions Leinster in Dublin.
Pienaar, who scored all Ulster’s points in their 2014 final loss to Leinster, believes that the team has a chance, even though everyone is writing them off against the unbeaten Dublin side.
