Writing in the Irish Independent, Ruaidhri O'Connor praises the impact of backrow Sean O'Brien after another eye-catching performance for Leinster.
"The inspirational Sean O'Brien scored two tries as Leinster pillaged Ravenhill to go fourth in the Magners League and enter the New Year in pristine condition.
Although their Heineken Cup condition looks healthy, Ulster were left reeling from a stunning display by the visiting side that left huge question marks over the performance of their South African imports against a Leinster side shorn of 10 frontline players.
O'Brien and back-row colleagues Dominic Ryan and Rhys Ruddock gave a barnstorming performance in Belfast, as Joe Schmidt's side squeezed Brian McLaughlin's men in every department.
Leinster's only regret was that they didn't pick up a bonus point in their 30-13 win."
