Stockdale mistake costs Ulster historic Dublin win

Comments

Ireland and Ulster winger Jacob Stockdale was deemed to have dropped the ball over the try line in the Champions Cup quarter final against Leinster.

Leinster won the game 21-18 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin but the result could have been much different if Stockdale had successfully put downward pressure on the ball.

The 23-year-old beat five Leinster defenders to nearly score a stunning try on the left wing, but following a TMO decision the try was disallowed.

Leinster will now play either Racing 92 or Toulouse in the semi-finals of this year's Champions Cup.

    Poor lad has felt the need to apologise (or some silly PR bod told him to).  No need for that.  Hope he gets over it quickly.  Classy player.

    Apart from that one mistake, he was in brilliant form. Ulster's most potent weapon.

    That one will probably haunt him for quite a while...
