Ulster came from behind to earn a 40-17 victory over 14-man Montpellier and book their place in the last eight of the European Challenge Cup.

The visitors went into the half-time break 17-7 down as tries from Paul Willemse and Aubin Eymeri helped Montpellier surge into the lead, but Paul Addison touched down just before the half-hour mark to claw them back into the contest.
