Ulster ease to victory against Connacht in URC opener

Ulster opened their United Rugby Championship season with a convincing 36-10 bonus point victory over Connacht at Ravenhill in Belfast.

Dan McFarland’s side scored five tries, with man-of-the-match Tom Stewart claiming their second on his senior debut in a game Ulster controlled throughout after building a 14-3 half-time lead.

Veteran Luke Marshall opened the scoring and after Stewart’s effort, Nathan Doak got over in the second half as did Stewart Moore and Callum Reid.

Doak kicked four conversions and a penalty for a personal haul of 16 points.
