Ulster went into game boosted by the return of Ireland internationals Henderson, Nick Timoney and Jacob Stockdale. However, they suffered a late blow and were forced to reshuffle when captain Henderson was withdrawn from the line-up shortly before kick-off.<\/p>\n
Early in the game, the home side’s injury list grew further after Matthew Dalton, Henderson’s replacement, was substituted.<\/p>\n
Baloucoune’s try on 10 minutes gave Ulster the lead and stood after a television match official (TMO) check but, after registering a superb assist for the try, Nathan Doak missed the conversion. <\/p>\n
Umaga then converted a penalty for the away side which had been awarded for an offside.<\/p>\n
After Jude Postlethwaite had done well to find space, Kok put Ulster further ahead before Doak landed the conversion.<\/p>\n
As the even start to the first half continued, a TMO check concurred that Benneton’s first try, scored by Bernasconi, was good and Umaga added the conversion.<\/p>\n
The away side went ahead just before the break when Umaga’s penalty from distance kick flew between the posts.<\/p>\n
After a slow start to the second period, Richie Murphy’s side went ahead once again after Hume scored after a nice passage of play in the Benetton 22.<\/p>\n
Kok then registered his second try of the evening near the corner after a great work from Postlethwaite to drive Ulster forward.<\/p>\n
Onisi Ratave received a yellow card in the 63rd minute before the hosts were awarded a penalty try for the Benetton winger’s deliberate knock-on trying to stop Baloucoune’s pass.<\/p>\n
Ulster’s impressive second half performance continued as Harry Sheridan and Baloucoune rolled over the line, and Jake Flannery added both conversions to give the home side a very comfortable advantage at the final whistle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
