Ulster coach Alan Solomons was full of praise for his side's efforts after they snatched a dramatic 19-16 win over Stade Francais.

Stade looked to have sealed the win but intense Ulster pressure as the final minutes ticked by resulted in a series of penalties.

Ulster's victory avenged a 40-11 mauling by the same opponents in Paris last weekend.

Victories in their final two matches should ensure the Irishmen a quarter-final berth as one of the best runners-up.
