Jonathan Bradley: Unusually early season clash won’t dilute intensity of the Ulster-Leinster rivalry

Ulster and Leinster play each other in the third round of the URC. Last year, Ulster beat Leins twice away from home. This year's game is a revenge for the defeats. Leisster won the Heineken Cup in 2012 and two league deciders over the past 10 years. Ulster have been improving season on season the last few years and they are a better team now. Le inser lost last year and last season. Dan Sheehan says the motivation is high for both teams. The game will be the most important of this season's opening weeks.
