Overview
- Ulster trailed 10-0 after 24 minutes and did not score until the 34th, then wrapped up the bonus point before the hour.
- Zac Ward scored twice, Werner Kok added a try, and a 54th-minute maul brought a penalty try to build a decisive cushion.
- Referee Eoghan Cross showed yellows to Bundee Aki and Stuart McCloskey after a scuffle, then sin-binned Joe Joyce for stopping the maul that led to the penalty try.
- Connacht’s scores came from Finn Treacy, Sean Jansen and Matthew Devine, before Jack Murphy’s late penalty closed out the win.
- The result leaves Ulster fifth in the URC with Munster next in Belfast, while Connacht have five losses in six ahead of a trip to Leinster.
