FINAL LEINSTER V ULSTER Madigan, a talented fly-half who has played in Ireland, France and England, won two Six Nations titles and 30 international caps, admits his mouth went dry and his palms a little sweaty. There may have been no fans at BT Murrayfield, but that probably made it worse. So, stand-in skipper O’Connor, like all intuitive captains, stepped in. “He told me he loved me which was a nice touch,” Madigan said. “I’ve only known him a couple of weeks but for him to be expressing his love for me, it gave me a boost of confidence. “That could have been the difference.” Seconds later, Madigan booted the penalty through the posts to complete a remarkable comeback and send Ulster to the Guinness PRO14 Final at Edinburgh’s expense. For such a big club, it is perhaps surprising to learn it is their first PRO14 final in seven years. They played Leinster that day too, losing 24-18. “ I’M VERY LUCKY BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT PEOPLE AROUND ME. None of the Ulster XV that started that day are still at the club. However, Madigan remembers it well. He was in the No.12 jersey. For Leinster. Then aged 24, things were looking up. He’d forced his way into the Leinster team at inside centre, with head coach Joe Schmidt recognising he needed to find a place for such a talent. That win was his first of two PRO14 titles, while he already has two European Champions Cup medals – including one from 2012 that also came against Ulster. Ireland soon made him a key player, a back-up to Johnny Sexton and the man they brought on to finish games. In 2015, he played in all five matches as Ireland won the title. However, playing back-up to Sexton only appealed for so long and in 2016 Madigan packed his bags and headed east to France for a year at 12|09|20 AVIVA STADIUM | DUBLIN 51
