Ulster clinched a memorable URC win on South African soil on Saturday with a 39-37 win over the Lions in Johannesburg.

The visitors ran in five tries in a high-scoring clash.

Robert Balacoune went over, as did Billy Burns, Rob Lyttle, Stuart McCloskey, and Rob Herring.

Their second half performance was too much for the hosts, who had led 18-15 at the break.

Ulster are next in action against the Sharks. The win builds on Ulster's previous win against the Ospreys in the competition.
