Ulster Rugby secured a convincing 29-12 victory against Exeter Chiefs in the Challenge Cup. Juarno Augustus opened the scoring with a try at the 27th minute, successfully converted by Nathan Doak. Despite a yellow card for Stockdale shortly after, Exeter's Ross Vintcent responded with a try, leveling the score temporarily. Ulster regained control with a try from Jack Murphy just after halftime, followed by another try from David McCann. Tom Stewart added a further try, and Doak continued his perfect kicking with conversions. Exeter struggled to respond, only managing a late consolation try from Campbell Ridl. The win reinforced Ulster's strong form against Exeter, following their previous victory earlier in the season.
