Match of the Day

Ulster dominated Exeter Chiefs semi-final clash

Ulster established their place in the final in Bilbao with a convincing 29-12 victory over Exeter, cementing their dominance in the Challenge Cup semi-final. The game came to a dramatic halt when England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso was found down following a collision involving Ireland international Jacob Stockdale. Referee Pierre Brousset immediately intervened and stopped play, and Feyi-Waboso was withdrawn for a head injury assessment.

The Northern Irish squad, building on their already impressive run, progressed to the final, where they are slated to face the winner of the day's semi-final. The Ulster victory confirms their status as a powerful side, especially given that they are undefeated in the Challenge Cup and robust within the URC.

Joe Carpenter, speaking on the importance of the forward battle, stated that "Our game is based around physicality and dominance."

Talking Point
The game was dramatically disrupted by an injury assessment required for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso after he was knocked unconscious during the fixture.
