Lose and questions might be asked as to why they only arrived in South Africa on Wednesday, five days after eviscerating Munster in a shockingly one-sided quarter-final. Throw in their dire record in league semi-finals, this is their 10th game in the competition’s last four and they have only won two – in 2013 and 2020 – before going on to lose to Leinster and the northern province know they really must do better. Reaching the URC final is within touching distance for Ulster as they are set for what is forecast to be an uncomfortably hot afternoon in the Cape – 26 degrees the expected temperature – and then face the prospect of hoofing it back over another 6,000 miles to have a tilt at getting their hands on a first trophy for a lengthy 16 years.

But the Ulster lineout goes astray and a number of knock-ons ends up in a scrum near halfway. An ideal start for the home side as they get a maul going and their powerful forwards keep driving and driving until they are over the line! Evan Roos plays a pass and receives it again before running in for the try down the wing. It would have been the try of the season but Stormers do enough to clear their lines. Ulster defend the initial driving maul well. A sensational piece of play from Billy Burns as he pulls off two chip chases in a row and nearly gets the offload off for a try. Stormers then try and go wide but Ulster defend it well before the Stormers knock it on. The Stormers are penalised at the lineout for crosssing and Henderson tells Cooney to kick to the posts. They go down the left, then the right before going down the left again and the Stormers give away a penalty. McIlroy misjudges a high ball to gives the Stormers the advantage and they carry hard towards the Ulster try line. They then try to get the driving maul going but Herring drops the ball the when trying to reach for the line. Kieran Treadwell has come on for O'Connor in the second row.

Stormers thunder over the line to score a try in the fourth minute. It's the last action of the half and Ulster have bounced back from 10-0 down to lead at the break. All to play for in the second half but Ulster lead at the break. Stormers have a penalty in front of the posts but go for the corner, but Libbok misses his kick. And the Stormers are taking the scrum. Ulster halt the Stormers' attack and win a penalty of their own to relieve the pressure.

The Stormers and Ulster clashed in a thrilling United Rugby Championship match in Cape Town Saturday, with a place in the final on the line.
And by half-time it was 15-10 after a John Cooney penalty. The match officials didn’t think so, saying the pass was “flat”. And just 10 minutes later the Stormers were 10-0 up and in charge after a great bit of interplay down the blindside of a lineout between Evan Roos and Herschel Jantjies led to the promising Roos going over for a try.

The Stormers came from almost nowhere to snatch a last-gasp 17-15 victory over Ulster in the United Rugby Championship semi-final.
He showed a good turn of pace to finish off a try, and got stuck in on defence as well, and had the better of his one-on-one duel with Duane Vermeulen. He chased high kicks enthusiastically, and fell back to support Warrick Gelant in defence as well. Scored the first try from a driving maul, and was enthusiastic throughout. Dayimani was clearly closely marked on attack, but he did the hard yards in defence too. His involvement in that first try by Evan Roos was exceptional as he managed to get the try-scoring pass away. Normally the force behind the Stormers attack, Libbok battled to create space out wide in the face of a hard rush defence from Ulster. He also missed two early conversions, and booted a crucial penalty into touch in-goal with about 15 minutes left.
