Often hailed as an off the cuff player, Ian Madigan lived up to that billing with aplomb today as he caught Ulster cold with a moment of quick thinking.

Feigning to kick to touch, Madigan instead ran and burrowed his way in for a try, evading the would be tackles of Callum Black and Rodger Wilson.

The fly half’s moment of virtuoso craft proved key as Leinster would go on to defeat their interprovincial rivals, Ulster, by a score of 24-11.

In association with Lifestyle Sports, Peter O’Mahony, Ian Madigan, Conor Murray and Dave Kearney, all holders of Irish caps discuss their choice of boots and also delve into the world of their pre game rituals.

In true forward fashion, Peter O’Mahoney seemed uninterested on the topics of boots and struggled to name the variety of boot that he wears. Instead, the backs, Murray, Madigan and Kearney, gave a relatively in depth explanation as to why they wear their respective boots.

Interestingly, the players provided an insight into their pre game rituals, which, by the sounds of it, sound especially meticulous.

In case you didn’t already know it, Christian Wade is a veritable speed merchant.

If our word isn’t enough for you, ask Leinster’s Ian Madigan, the man whom the English winger burns for pace during Wasps Champions Cup defeat to Leinster last weekend.

This is a video, we suspect, Ian Madigan won’t want to see again.

Leinster were looking to make it 2 in a row with a win over Glasgow, while Glasgow wanted to make history and win their first title.

The game was fiercely contested up until half time with a score of 14-12 to Leinster on 40 minutes. Leinster came out all guns blazing in the second half and put the game to bed with tries from Gordon D’arcy and a second of the game for Zane Kirchner.

Today also was the end of an era as Leo Cullen & Brian O’Driscoll hung up their boots for the final time. It was a pity to see O’Driscoll to go off injured within 10 minutes but it wasn’t a bad season to finish on either.

Here are a look at some of the best images from today’s game:
