Robert Baloucoune scores another brilliant try to seal Ulster comeback

Jack O'Toole

21-year-old Ulster winger Robert Balocoune scored another brilliant try to seal a vital away win for Ulster against the Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.

Ulster trailed 13-0 after a pair of George Ford penalties and a great try from Wallabies centre Matt Toomua before the visitors came roaring back into the contest with a try from prop Marty Moore and this excellent finish from Balocoune after a great chip from fly-half Billy Burns.

The try marked Baloucoune’s third try in seven games for Ulster and the Enniskillen flier said he’s been happy with how he’s progressing at the northern province after making his debut only last October against the Dragons in Belfast.

“I really appreciated the chance to get out there,” Baloucoune told the Belfast Telegraph after his debut against the Dragons.

“The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed playing. It was just a great experience and I’m looking forward to another chance at it. As long as you work hard, you’ve got the chance to get there. It’s just (been about) gradually progressing up to this stage and now that I’ve got the chance it’s been class.”
