Ulster extend Kings' drought, Tovey leads Edinburgh past Ospreys

Southern Kings remain winless in Pro14 after succumbing to a second-half onslaught from Ulster, who won 43-36 in South Africa on Saturday.

The visitors trailed 22-10 at the break in Port Elizabeth, where Berton Klaasen, Yaw Penxe and Michael Makase all crossed for the former Super Rugby franchise.

There were further tries for both Klaasen and Penxe after the break, but it was not enough to prevent a rampant Ulster from overpowering their hosts.

Sean Reidy and John Andrew both scored in the first half to keep Ulster in touch and the away team came to life in the second half.

Andrew crossed again and was joined by John Cooney, Andrew Trimble, Clive Ross and Robbie Diack in claiming tries to secure the victory and leave Kings bottom of Group B after eight matches.
