The only scores in the second half came from two Cooney penalties. After just two minutes, Ulster were ahead thanks to a Cooney penalty. Then, on 66 minutes, Ulster earned a penalty after pinching a lineout and Cooney landed it to put his side four points in front. Then, with time nearly up, Best and Stockdale won vital turnover penalties as the Blues threw everything at rescuing the game.
