Ulster Rugby triumphed over Ospreys with a final score of 28-24 in a thrilling Challenge Cup match. Cormac Izuchukwu opened the scoring for Ulster with a try in the third minute, successfully converted by Nathan Doak. Ospreys responded quickly with two tries from Reuben Morgan-Williams and Daniel Kasende, both converted by Dan Edwards, taking a brief lead. However, Ulster regained control with tries from David McCann and Jacob Stockdale, along with additional conversions from Doak. A penalty try for Ospreys, awarded after Jack Murphy's yellow card, brought them close, but Ulster held firm. Doak's kicking and Ulster's consistent pressure in the second half proved decisive. The victory marked a significant turnaround for Ulster after their previous loss to Ospreys in February.
