Ulster 30 - 0 Edinburgh 

Connacht 24 - 24 Cardiff Blues 

 

A late TMO try cost Connacht victory tonight against Cardiff Blues as Ulster got back to winning ways against Edinburgh in the Guinness Pro 12.

Connacht were leading 24 - 17 in the final stages when Scott Andrews was judged to have made contact with the post as Cardiff snatched a 24 - 24 draw at the Sportsgrounds.

Cardiff scored the first try of the game through Adam Thomas, before Robbie Henshaw's try helped Connacht go in 10 - 10 at the break in Galway.

It was the Irish province who took the match by the scruff of the neck in the second half with tries from Kieran Marmion and Nathan White putting Connacht in control.

A 69th minute Macauley Cook try gave Cardiff hope and one last effort saw Andrews get the touch against the post that Cardiff needed, with Rhys Patchell converting.

Meanwhile, Ulster made up for the defeat to Zebre last Saturday by easing to victory at home to Edinburgh.

Two Paddy Jackson penalties and an Andrew Trimble try had the province in control after the opening 40 minutes of action.

Nick Williams, Rory Best and Trimble again went over for second half tries as Ulster recorded a 30 - 0 win.

In the other night's game, Zebre almost shocked Ospreys but fell to a late 15 - 14 loss at home.
