Ulster secure their United Rugby Championship (URC) play-off place with a late win over Leinster.
The visitors to Belfast had appeared to be heading back to the top of table ahead of next weekend's Investec Champions Cup final but a 79th minute penalty from John Cooney completed an Ulster turnaround.
Although Ulster are assured of their place in the end of season play-offs with a game to spare, they could still miss out on securing Champions Cup rugby next season pending the result of the European Challenge Cup final and the concluding round of URC fixtures. First, Andrea Piardi and his officiating team spared Rob Russell's blushes, judging the Leinster wing just beat Lowry to touching down the ball after seeing his kick charged down.
The home side were dominating possession and territory but, in the 22nd minute, the game was suddenly level. Cooney would reduce the arrears with a penalty before the turn but Leinster carried a 14-10 advantage into half-time.Four minutes after the restart, another Cooney penalty cut Ulster's deficit to a solitary point, but Leinster's increased power and experience up front was beginning to show.
