ULSTER EARNED AN impressive 26-9 win away to Cardiff Blues to continue their unbeaten run in the Guinness Pro12 this evening.
Dan Tuohy and Ian Humphreys got the tries for the Irish side, with a number of further scores from the boot of Paddy Jackson enabling a convincing win for his team.
Three first-half penalties from Rhys Patchell left his team very much still in the contest going in at the break, as they trailed Ulster by three points, before an impressive second-half display by the visitors saw them register 14 unanswered points.

The victory, however, was soured somewhat, as Ireland international Tuohy was forced to prematurely depart the action 20 minutes from time, with what looked a bad injury to his forearm.
