Ulster storm back to steal epic draw with Munster
Ulster recovered from a 21-point halftime deficit as Jacob Stockdale scored twice and David McCann and Stuart McCloskey also crossed.
Ulster secured a 26-26 draw against Munster at Affidea Stadium, completing a remarkable second-half comeback after trailing 26-5 at halftime.
Munster head coach Clayton McMillan saw his side dominate the first 40 minutes, securing a bonus-point lead with two tries from Alex Kendellen and scores from Marnus van der Merwe and Dan Kelly.
Second-Half tries from Jacob Stockdale, David McCann, and Stuart McCloskey sparked Ulster's rally, while Jack Murphy converted late to level the match with less than three minutes remaining.
For Richie Murphy's team, the result marks a second successive draw following last week's 33-33 tie with Glasgow, leaving them winless this season ahead of European competition.
Referee Craig Evans issued a yellow card to Cormac Izuchukwu in the first half for a "shoulder to the head" incident, a disciplinary setback that initially hindered Ulster's defensive efforts.
