URC: Brilliant Ulster seal bonus-point victory over Lions in thriller

In the context of a hard-working team effort, Michael Lowry stood out for his creativity — one lapse in defence aside — while Stuart McCloskey, Rob Baloucoune, Billy Burns and Rob Lyttle finished smartly for their tries.

Vermeulen again insinuated himself over the ball and forced Willem Alberts into conceding the penalty for not releasing. Cooney, the URC’s leading points scorer, tagged on three points via an upright. Ulster conceded a couple of penalties at scrum time and then lost their tighthead prop Gareth Milasinovich, who collapsed, arms spread eagled, after catching a hip to the temple area. He left for a head injury assessment and didn’t return, replaced by Tom O’Toole.

Cooney missed the conversion, but Ulster had pegged back their hosts to just an 18-15 lead at the interval.
