Ulster recover from big early deficit to beat Stormers
Ulster recovered from a 17-0 deficit after just eight minutes to run in six tries in recording a battling 38-34 win over the Stormers in Friday’s United Rugby Championship encounter at Kingspan Stadium.
Tries from Evan Roos and Ben Loader helped the visitors to their sizeable early lead but Robert Baloucoune, Andrew Warwick and Jack Murphy’s scores ensured the sides went in level at the interval.
The try-fest continued after the break, Stockdale crossing for the bonus-point try before the South African side had skipper Neethling Fouche sent-off for a dangerous challenge on Ben Carson.
Zac Ward and Stewart Moore also touched down for the Irish province while Willie Engelbrecht and Roos scored tries for the Stormers to keep themselves within touching distance.
