Heineken Cup: Defeat For Ulster Against Tigers
18 January 2004, 12:00 pm
Ulster fell to a 49-7 defeat at Welford Road on Saturday, in the return leg of their Heineken Cup clash against the Leicester Tigers.

In a complete reversal the match at Ravenhill just over a week ago, the Tigers outscored Ulster five tries to one, with England's world Cup winning Captain Martin Johnson, who later announced his retirement from international rugby, getting the last touchdown.

Ulster's only consolation came in the 73rd minute when winger James Topping crossed for their try, which David Humphreys converted.

A bad day at the office, Alan Solomons' side have left it all to do in Paris on Saturday against Stade Francais.
Final Score: Leicester Tigers 49-7 Ulster.

Leicester Scorers
Tries: Lloyd (2), Back, Van der Westhuyzen, M. Johnson
Cons: Vesty (3)
Pens: Vesty (5)

Ulster Scorers
Tries: Topping
Cons: Humphreys

Stade Francais' home win against the Gwent Dragons on Sunday means that as we prepare to enter Round 5 of the competition, an away win still eludes any of the sides in Pool 1. It's an extremely tright Pool with only two points separating the top and bottom sides. Leicester top the table on 10 points, the same number as Stade Francais but going ahead on try count, while Ulster are just one point behind on 9 points and the Dragons are still in the chase on 8 points.
