Ulster mounted a stunning second-half comeback to defeat Edinburgh 40-19 in the United Rugby Championship, dealing a major blow to the hosts' top-eight hopes. The Irish province trailed 19-14 at halftime but exploded for 26 unanswered points after the break, securing a bonus-point victory that lifts them to second in the table.

Edinburgh had built their first-half lead through tries from Ross Thompson, Harry Paterson, and Wes Goosen, with Mosese Tuipulotu providing key assists. Despite losing winger Zac Ward to an early sin-bin, Ulster fought back through Charlie Irvine before Paterson and Goosen extended Edinburgh's advantage. Juarno Augusto's try just before halftime kept Ulster within striking distance.

The visitors dominated the second half despite Harry Sheridan's red card for a high tackle. Jake Flannery, Scott Wilson, Conor McKee, and Ben Carson all crossed as Ulster reached the 40-point mark. Edinburgh's hopes were further damaged when hooker Harri Morris also saw red, leaving them unable to capitalize on their numerical advantage.
