Stormers secure victory over Ulster

Ulster were unable to turn around the recent bad news stories, falling to a late defeat to Stormers.

The South African side securing victory with just six minutes remaining as Ulster’s recent bad luck continued.

It had started so well. Nick Timoney crossing the line on the seventh minute to open the game’s scoring.

Mike Lowry, Rob Balououne, Timoney and Nathan Doak were all involved. Timoney picking a line off Nathan Doak's shoulder and the number eight is in under the posts untouched.

John Cooney added the two points.

However, Ulster failed to add further points to their tally. In fact it would be another 46 minutes before the clock would turn.

Manie Libbok with a 58th minute penalty, Stormers first score of the game.

With just seven minutes remaining the Ulster resilience was finally broken as they look to hold out having survived an earlier TMO review.

The maul broke the Ulster backline as Evan Roos was able to touch down and give the Stormers the lead. The first time all Stormers led with seven minutes to go.

Libbok added the extras two as Ulster trailed by three.

There was no Easter romantic ending for the visitors. A converted Libbok penalty with the last kick of the game sealing the Stormers win 13-7.

The result leaves Ulster eighth in the URC Table
