Offaly Forward Powers Ulster To European Survival

Cormac Izuchukwu's hat-trick set Ulster on their way to an impressive win on Saturday.

Offaly's Cormac Izuchukwu's hat-trick of tries helped Ulster to a potentially season-saving victory against Exeter Chiefs in the Champions Cup over the weekend.

Richie Murphy's side were staring down the barrel of a winless campaign in Europe before running out convincing 52-24 point winners.

That result keeps Ulster in the competition, although they face number one seeds, Bordeaux Begles away from home in the last 16.

Leinster meanwhile were 47-21 winners over Bath, and will face Harlequinns at home in the next round.

Munster meanwhile can look forward to a reunion with Ronan O'Gara in France - they face La Rochelle after suffering a two point reverse against Northampton.
