Video – Ulster into Pro14 final after dramatic win thanks to Madigan

It was an astonishing five minutes for the new Ulster rugby signing Ian Madigan as he kicked a conversion and penalty to secure a Pro14 final against Leinster.

Tries by Stuart McInally, Darcy Graham, and Chris Dean had given Richard Cockerill’s side a 19-7 lead.

But Rob Herring and John Andrew’s tries added to Rob Lyttle’s earlier score as the visitors drew level with only five minutes left.

And Ian Madigan’s 80th-minute penalty secured Dan McFarland’s team victory.
