Ulster had led through Neil Doak’s penalty in a game played in atrocious conditions
In the end McFarland’s side failed to prevent their losing run from reaching six defeats from seven games just when it seemed their misfortune was over.
On the half-hour, Ulster managed to get position in La Rochelle’s 22 and really put the squeeze on. Timoney lost the ball in the act of going over as Ulster persistently went to the corner before launching their maul. Now with the conditions behind them, La Rochelle held out for the first few minutes allowing Paul Boudehent’s return to bring them up to a full complement.
