United Rugby Championship: Ulster 36 Ospreys 12

On Friday evening a much depleted Ospreys side were the visitors to the Kingspan Stadium for the Untied Rugby Championship game with Ulster.

The game was only 5 minutes old when James McCormick scored, out on the left, following a lineout maul to put Ulster 5-0 up.

Jacob Stockdale scored a brace of tries for Ulster

Ulster continued to press. On 10 minutes Jacob Stockdale was put clear on the blindside to score in the right corner and Ulster were 10-0 up.

It didn’t get any better for the Ospreys. They conceded a penalty try, after 23 minutes, when a driving maul was interfered with close to the line.

After a Stockdale try was chalked off, Marcus Res ploughed over, from close range, after 33 minutes, converted by John Cooney to put Ulster out to 24-0 and wrapping up the 4 try bonus point.
