Ulster score five first-half tries to brush aside winless Southern Kings
By Ian Cameron
Ulster left Southern Kings still looking for their first win in the Guinness PRO14 this season after running out convincing 42-17 winners at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
The Irish side ran in five tries in the opening 31 minutes to effectively put the game to bed, although Tertius Kruger and Aston Fortuin responded for the hosts.
John Cooney’s brace for Ulster sandwiched efforts from Luke Marshall, Rob Herring and Matt Faddes, with Sean Reidy crossing in the second half.
Cooney also kicked all six conversions, with Demetri Catrakilis adding a penalty and a conversion for the South Africans.

I am not into this wild swinging of outlooks from match to match. In Lions teams terms, Ireland and Scotland were better in those matches than England. England relied on luck to beat Scotland. Ireland have the triple crown.
Ireland were playing for the Grand Slam and Championships and both were de facto gone last week, so I wouldn’t look too deeply into that Italy performance.
Wales were a little tired and English physicality broke them. England, France and indeed Ireland and Scotland can put up big scores when a match is done with time to play.
Go to commentsThey don’t. Scotland have no luck and get the worst end of the stick on almost all occasions: from refereeing decisions to world cup draws and scheduling. This is not a coincidence in my opinion.
People give out about Townsends success. But he has done brilliantly given the amount of headwinds blowing.
