Ulster slump to Connacht defeat as Rea sees Red in Kingspan nightmare
Visitors win in Belfast for first time in 58 years
It was a night to forget for Ulster as they fell to their second PRO14 defeat.
Dan McFarland’s side lost 22-15 at the Kingspan to Connacht – a team who last won in Belfast in 1960!
Jacob Stockdale (main pic), back in the line-up after injury, marked his return with a try.
There was also a welcome return for Rory Best.
But a red card for Matty Rea left Ulster with an uphill battle.
And it could have been worse for the Province – a late try from Nick Timoney meant they saved a losing bonus point.
Before the game, McFarland had challenged his players to see off teams in games.
But they struggled to find any way through what was an aggressive game-plan from the visitors.
Ulster take a break from PRO14 action now.
Next up is a Champions League opening game against the Leicester Tigers.
