Ulster Rugby Falls to Bulls, Extending Winless Streak

Ulster Rugby's challenging start to the United Rugby Championship has extended to four games following a 34-26 defeat against the Bulls in Pretoria.

Former Ulster player Marcell Coetzee scored two tries for the Bulls, who took an early lead. Despite being down 21-0, Ulster managed to secure a four-try bonus point, but a late penalty from Curwin Bosch denied them a losing bonus point.

This loss marks the first time since the 2008-09 season that Ulster has failed to win any of their first four league matches. They will face the Stormers in South Africa on October 31 before a break for the Nations Championship.
