Leinster get the kick up the arse they needed!

Leinster's 10 match winnning streak in the PRO 12 came to an end at the Kingspan Stadium to a doggedly determined Ulster side. There was a passion about Ulster's   play which has been missing for  a while. That probably had a lot to do with the final matches for a highly emotional Ruan Pienaar, and Roger Wilson. Leinster weren't terrible, but they weren't great either. Not having to win took the shine off their performance, how many dropped passes and passes into touch were there? A bit of a flat ending to the regular season for Leinster, also losing top spot in the final match. Probably exactly the kick up the arse they needed to wake them up for the semi final!

Munster thumped Connacht, and deservedly grabbed top spot, a fantastic turn around from last seasons sixth. Exactly the same as Leinster last season!

So the Semi Finals are:

Leinster v Scarlets
Munster v Ospreys

Bring it on!
