Ulster fight back to draw with Munster in thriller

In a thrilling United Rugby Championship Irish derby, Ulster fought back to secure a draw against Munster at the Belfast venue. Munster took an early lead in the first half, scoring tries from Alex Kendellen (twice), Marnus van der Merwe, and Dan Kelly, leading by 26-5 at halftime. However, Jacob Stockdale's second-half try helped Ulster close the gap.

David McCann followed with a try, and a Munster penalty-kick error allowed Stuart McCloskey to score the final touchdown three minutes from time, resulting in a 19-19 draw. This win marked Ulster's second successive draw after their 33-33 tie with Glasgow the previous week, while Munster, under head coach Clayton McMillan, were motivated by their disappointing 28-3 loss to Belfast last season.

Despite several setbacks, including Eli Snyman's injury and Cormac Izuchukwu's yellow card, Ulster managed to level the match in the final moments thanks to a solid performance by Tom McAllister and James McNabney.
