It’s the hope that kills you. Leinster swept Ulster aside on Saturday despite a good shift from Dan’s men.
 Leinster are now the only Irish side left inthe competition after overcoming Ulster 30-15 in an incredibly wet Aviva stadium.
After the game Dan said: “I can’t change the demographics. They have way more rugby players, way more money. Nothing changes
that.”
He also said, ‘It was a challenge” when playing Leinster. Which is a bit like a mountain climber comparing Everest to a molehill.
Indeed, the gap has never looked wider as, despite a spirited effort, ulster didn’t come all that close to knocking the boys in blue off their perch.
Dan McFarland was keen to talk up how Ulster never had a chance against the best team in the world.
Full credit to Leinster, their pack monstered Ulster and were so quick and powerful that ulster kept coughing up penalties.
Leinster, quite simply, were ahead in every facet of the game.
 Ulster deserve a huge amount of credit for a dogged and determined performance.
 Where does this leave Ulster? Can Dan get any more out of this team? What do we need to do to compete with the top teams in Europe?
