  • 1 Ulster protested after the match that Rosemount's ground did not provide sufficient protection to the players from spectators. The match was ordered to be replayed at Ulster's ground,[3] but Rosemount refused to play feeling they had been harshly treated. Ulster therefore advanced into the next round.[4]
