Ulster came from behind to beat Montpellier in the last 16 of the European Challenge Cup after the French side had Paul Willemse sent off and were shown three second-half cards.
The visitors trailed 17-7 at half-time but turned the game around after the French side had Paul Willemse sent off in the 41st minute for a high tackle.
The visitors had appeared to cope well with the upheaval in the early stages, making a strong start only to be undone by a strong Clement Doumenc turnover.When the Top 14 strugglers took the lead, Ulster had a huge hand in gifting their opponents the opening score. Rob Baloucoune had looked set to score himself but was hauled down just short of the line by his opposite number Gabriel N'Gandebe.
Against only seven Montpellier forwards, Ulster started to get a real edge off the scrum but the province were frustrated time and time again as they sought their first lead of the game.
