Ulster Overrun Edinburgh With 26 Unanswered After Half to Rise to Second in URC

Richie Murphy credits greater belief for a rise that already exceeds last season's points tally.

Overview

  • Ulster won 40-19 at the Hive Stadium after trailing 19-14 at half-time, completing a rescheduled away fixture with a bonus-point victory.
  • The turnaround featured six tries, including second-half scores by replacements Jake Flannery, Scott Wilson, Conor McKee and Ben Carson.
  • Juarno Augustus crossed before the break on his return from injury and was named player of the match.
  • Disciplinary reviews shaped the contest as Ulster's Harry Sheridan saw a yellow upgraded to a 20-minute red and Edinburgh's Harri Morris received the same upgrade, with Ulster's Zac Ward also sin-binned early.
  • The result lifts Ulster to second in the URC and they have already surpassed last season's points total, while elsewhere Connacht beat Scarlets 31-14 in Galway.
