Final scoreline flatters Leo Cullen’s side a tad but they were nonetheless full value for their win at the Aviva
will depart for the highveld of Pretoria on Sunday morning and next Saturday will face the Bulls in the semi-final of theThe final scoreline flatters Leo Cullen’s side a tad.
The first half was a staccato affair, occasional enterprise undermined by an overindulgence in the kicking game and a plethora of errors. The game was played at a frenetic pace but at the cost of cohesion and continuity at times, the overall quality fitful. Ulster had a chance to make inroads into the 17-0 lead just before half-time, winning three penalties and kicking to the corner on each occasion. The second should have led to a penalty try, the otherwise excellent Caelan Doris breaking his bind and impeding the progression of a maul that was headed over the line.
To their credit Ulster, despite losing the lively Jacob Stockdale to injury, stuck back with their first try through Dave McCann. Billy Burns kicked to the corner after the home side had infringed at a ruck, and on penalty advantage from the lineout maul, Cooney switched back smartly to the short side where McCann was unmarked.
