Ulster rue poor start as Stade triumph

Stade Francais 30 Ulster 10

By that time, McCall has frustratingly sat in the stands and watched his side go 30-3 behind to a French side missing a handful of regulars.

Right from the off Ulster were on the back foot. With a litany of unforced errors, creaking line-outs, missed first-up tackles and messy scrums, it was a miracle that Ulster turned around only 9-3 in arrears.
