The Front Row Union Sport - PRO12: Ulster 48 Treviso 7

PRO12: Ulster 48 Treviso 7

Oct 5, 2015

We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

This was a jolly romp for Ulster even if it was so one sided that my attention did stray at times, however for much of the game the crack on the terrace was better than the rugby on it!

No disrespect to Ulster, or Treviso for that matter, but the Italian’s were so out-gunned that they struggled to be competitive and when Ulster did move, fairly smoothly, through the gears the visitors were left grasping at thin air.

Ulster (27) 48

TRY: Dan Tuohy, Sean Reidy, Paul Marshall, Craig Gilroy (2), Peter Browne, Lewis Stevenson. PEN: Stuart McCloskey. CON: Stuart McCloskey (3), Peter Nelson (2).

Treviso (0) 7

TRY: Sam Christie. CON: Jayden Hayward.

Ulster secured the bonus point by the break with tries from Dan Tuohy, Sean Reidy, Paul Marshall before a wonderful solo effort from Craig Gilroy that got the stadium rocking.

Stuart McCloskey got plenty of kicking practice adding two conversions and a penalty to give Ulster a 27 – 0 lead at the break.

Ulster were slow to get going in the second half and Treviso took full advantage with Chris Smylie sending Sam Christie over. Jayden Hayward knocked over the extras to make it a seven pointer but any thoughts of a revival ended there.

An Ulster line out provided the platform for Peter Browne to barge over and with McCloskey converting Ulster were back to a 27 point lead.

Gilroy capped a fine performance with his second try, after good work by McCloskey, and Lewis Stevenson, who’d been looking for a try from his appearance on the 57th minute, eventually crossed for his first ever try for Ulster with four minutes left. Peter Nelson converted both to give Ulster a 48 – 7 win.

Ulster: Louis Ludik, Andrew Trimble, Luke Marshall, Stuart McCloskey, Craig Gilroy, Peter Nelson, Paul Marshall, Andrew Warwick, Rob Herring, Wiehahn Herbst, Peter Browne, Dan Tuohy, Robbie Diack, Sean Reidy, Roger Wilson. Replacements: Paul Jackson, Callum Black, Bronson Ross, Lewis Stevenson, Clive Ross, David Shanahan, Sam Arnold, Rory Scholes.
