Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has admitted that Leinster deserved to win the Heineken Cup following his side's final defeat on Saturday.
Holders Leinster recorded an emphatic 42-14 win at Twickenham Stadium to clinch their third trophy in four years.
"We fought back hard and scored a nice try but in the last 10 minutes Leinster showed what a quality side they are and how much they deserved the trophy," McLaughlin told Sky Sports News.
"I wouldn't do anything differently today at all. We knew it was always going to be difficult."
Ulster's only previous Heineken Cup triumph came in 1999 against French club Colomiers.
