Lions 35

Ulster 22

ULSTER FELL TO their first defeat of the URC season to a Lions side who were simply more clinical and able to deal with the tough playing conditions in Johannesburg.

In 30-degree heat, Ulster found themselves 15-0 down before mounting a stirring comeback to claim a try bonus through scores from John Cooney, Aidan Morgan, Werner Kok and Corrie Barrett, only one of which was converted.
