There wasn’t anything at stake for Munster against Sale but Zebo still excelled at fullback, carrying the ball 18 times for 118 metres. Those huge tallies contributed to the Corkman scoring two of Munster’s ten tries on the day.
14. Fergus McFadden
He showed nice strength to fend off Tom Varndell for his try and McFadden worked hard all day for Leinster. He showed an eagerness to run back kicks, which saw him finish as one of Leinster’s top carriers on the day.

Cave’s strong season continued with a lovely hat-trick against Leicester. None of his tries required spectacular breaks but for all of them Cave showed great awareness to track his team-mates runs and strength to finish them off.
12. Ivan Dineen
Most Munster fans probably wanted JJ Hanrahan to be sprung from the bench after Dennis Hurley got injured early on but Dineen turned in one of his best Munster performances. He made a series of half-breaks and it will give him a big confidence boost as Munster turn their attention to the Pro12.
11. Craig Gilroy
When Gilroy sets off on one of his fun-runs, it gets you out of your seat. His pirouette in the build up to one of the Ulster tries was sensational and with Dave Kearney’s injury, Gilroy might have forced himself into Joe Schmidt’s plans.
10. Ian Humphreys

He is firmly entrenched as Paddy Jackson’s back-up but Humphreys’ beautiful dart and instinctive offload for Cave’s try should give Ulster fans hope that they can cope with Jackson’s injury.
9. Duncan Williams
Like Dineen, Williams has gotten a lot of stick this season but will have silenced the doubters for a little while at least with a solid effort against Sale.
