It turns out that holding gym records in rugby still counts for something.
Leinster tighthead prop Andrew Porter has been earmarked as a player to watch for the last few seasons and on Saturday against Ulster he showed exactly why.
After Darren Cave turned the ball over at the ruck, Leinster went wide from the turnover and made some big metres through Porter who brushed off a covering Cave before steamrolling his way through a very weak tackle attempt from Jacob Stockdale.
The powerful front-rower then laid the ball off to Jamison Gibson-Park who drew in Andrew Trimble before sending Fergus McFadden racing towards the line for his second score of the game.

Earlier in the game Leinster full-back Jordan Larmour followed up his stunning match winning score against Munster on Saint Stephen's Day with another stellar score.
Larmour touched down after a great break from Fergus McFadden through the middle of the Ulster defence.
Cave made the wrong read on the decoy runner allowing the Ireland winger to break through the line before finding Larmour who stood up Stockdale with a great left foot step.
Larmour then turned from scorer to provider ten minutes later when he put Barry Daly away in the corner after freezing Cave upon receiving the ball.
