Richie Murphy’s side turned an early 14-0 deficit into a 40-17 win.

Montpellier 17-40 Ulster ULSTER WILL TRAVEL to meet Clermont in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup after fighting back to win a bizarre game at Montpellier during which the hosts were shown one red card and three yellows.

Ulster – badly disrupted by late changes prior to kick-off – started badly, allowing their hosts make early inroads on the scoreboard. Thirteen minutes later the French struck again, Aubin Eymeri claiming the try after Montpellier had moved the ball to the right wing, allowing the scrumhalf chip over Addison into space and collect to touch down. Foursans-Bourdette again supplied the two points.

Willemse’s red card one minute after the restart when he made head contact with Addison changed the game. Montpellier: A De Nardi; G Ngandebe, P Lucas, A Cadot, B Lam; L Foursans-Bourdette, A Eymeri; G Fichten, C Tolofua, H Williams, F Verhaeghe, P Willemse , A Becognee, C Doumenc, S Simmonds.
