United Rugby Championship: Ulster 19 Munster 22

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.

On Friday evening Ulster hosted Munster in a United Rugby Championship Fixture at Ravenhill. Ulster were on a 4 game losing streak and needed to turn their season around.

Ulster started as though they meant business, forcing Munster back. After several drives close to the Munster line Tom O’Toole powered over from close range for the opening score. John Cooney’s conversion had Ulster 7-0 up in 8 minutes.

Ulster continued to batter the Munster line but were unable to increase their lead.

On 28 minutes Munster opened their account, against the run of play with their first real attack. From a clearance kick Munster ran the ball from deep putting Tom Farrell in the clear to slide over in the corner for 5-7. 

Ulster lost Tom O’Toole to a red card for a crocodile roll at a ruck . . .
