Edinburgh 7-29 Ulster: Bonus point win earns Ulster play-off spot

Ulster guaranteed themselves second place in Conference B and a play-off place after overcoming Edinburgh at Murrayfield.

Tries from Jordi Murphy, Robert Baloucoune, Rob Lyttle and Billy Burns secured a bonus point victory which, combined with Benetton losing to Munster, means Ulster are assured of a top two finish.

Edinburgh’s points came from a converted second half try from John Barclay.

However, the result seriously dents their hopes of progressing and they now depend on more than just the outcome of their final day derby encounter at Glasgow.
