WATCH: Ultan Dillane’s one-man mission to obliterate the Kearney brothers

Charging bull

Ultan Dillane surely can’t keep this up for his entire career, can he?

Connacht took the fight to Leinster in the first half of their Guinness PRO12 final, at Murrayfield, and their 22-year-old lock was meting out punishment.

If Bundee Aki is Connacht’s backline enforcer, Dillane is the forwards’ wrecking ball.

Following yet another sweeping attack, Dillane got his paws on the ball out on the left wing.

Dave Kearney gritted his teeth and set himself on slowing the 6-foot-6 lock down. He merely proved a speed-bump.

Brother Rob was nearby and only fared slightly better.

Dillane

Ouch.

Dillane finished the first half with 20 metres gained off five carries and four successful tackles.
