Ulster’s Champions Cup Dreams Shattered with 47-19 Loss to Harlequins”

Ulster faced a disappointing European afternoon at Twickenham Stoop, losing 47-19 to Harlequins and missing out on Champions Cup knockout qualification. Former player Tommy Seymour described it as a challenging day for Ulster, emphasizing their defensive struggles. Despite a prior win over Racing 92, Ulster conceded 95 points in two games, finishing fifth in Pool Two. Tony McWhirter, who won the European Cup with Ulster in 1999, criticized the team’s demoralizing second-half performance, labeling them as inconsistent.

Individual errors allowed Harlequins to dominate, leading to Ulster dropping to the Challenge Cup. McWhirter stressed that such system errors must be rectified for consistent success. Ulster’s lack of shape, form, and learning from mistakes raised concerns about their status as a top-16 European team. Seymour suggested that the Challenge Cup might suit Ulster better. McWhirter emphasized the need for Ulster to focus on qualifying for next season’s competition, as their current form has been inconsistent.
