Watch: Wallaby Angus Bell scores 'world-class' try for Ulster

Angus Bell stole the show with a sensational solo try as Ulster ground out a 21-14 United Rugby Championship victory over Cardiff at a freezing Affidea Stadium.

Scott Wilson dotted down underneath the posts, with Jack Murphy adding the extras, before Bell scored his first Ulster try by shrugging off a couple of challenges and showing fleet footwork to ghost past Cam Winnett to touch down.

Jack Murphy added the extras to both tries to put Ulster 14-0 ahead at the interval but Yohan Mulder’s converted score halved the deficit to give Cardiff hope of a second-half comeback.

Charlie Irvine, though, scampered over and Murphy once again split the posts with his kick to restore Ulster’s 14-point cushion.

Cardiff were in no mood to throw in the towel and Steffan Emanuel crashed down and Callum Sheedy put the visitors back within a converted score with 12 minutes left.

Someone give Angus Bell a No.14 shirt ⚡️
