    People at home will think that is an easy try but Tom Stewart has a feel for the maul and as he is heading to the corner he knows where the touchline is and the last defender. That is all about power and confidence.

  2. Half-time

    After that kick the sides go into the changing rooms.

    Ulster with the bonus point will be happy but far from perfect.

    There is the bonus-point.

    Classy play from Stewart Moore as he gets the ball in the wide channel, he shows real balance to dummy one defender and step the full-back.
