Players of the Night: Ulster vs Wasps
Jacob Stockdale
Stockdale looked to involve himself from the very start of the game with a few good carries early on off set piece plays. He unlocked the Wasps defence with the first try of the game after some great play by Charles Piutau, Stockdale finished well in the corner. Stockdale continued to show his energy and talent when he claimed a loose ball and burst down the wing offloading to Piutau who played it back to Stockdale, he eventually threw a pass to McCloskey for Ulster's second try. He made a total of 98 metres and beat 5 defenders to earn himself the man of the match award.
Charles Piutau
Yet again the Ulster full back was absolutely exemplary in everything he did tonight. His combination of incredible pace as well as astonishing strength caused the Wasps defence a host of problems throughout this fixture. He constantly put his side on the front foot with direct, powerful running, making countless clean breaks for a total of 137 metres gained. He also played a pivotal role in both of Ulster's tries and was rock solid in defence when necessary.
