03/28/2025 03:00 PM

Ulster came back from a 17-point deficit to beat a Stormers team that lost captain Neethling Fouche to a red card in Belfast on Saturday night.

The hosts scored six tries, negating the efforts of Stormers No 8 Evan Roos who scored two of the tourists’ four tries in a 38-34 reverse at the Kingspan Stadium.

Fouche was shown red five minutes after the restart for what was deemed a dangerous tackle on Ulster centre Ben Carson, despite the tighthead prop’s knee being on the polypropylene surface in an effort to get low.

By that stage, the Stormers had surrendered their 17-point first-quarter lead to go into the break at 17-17, and with Fouche off for the final 35 minutes, Ulster won the second stanza 21-17.
