Interim head coach Richie Murphy felt Ulster were "a little disappointing" in their 40-17 win over Montpellier .
The Top 14 side's captain Paul Willemse was sent off in the 41st minute and Montpellier were also shown three yellow cards.Montpellier had been far superior in the first half with their work at the breakdown in particular causing Ulster problems.After Addison had scored Ulster's only try of the first-half, Rob Baloucoune would cross the whitewash only moments after the French international's dismissal.
"We wanted to back up the decent performance we had against the Stormers and take another step in that direction. "Some of that was helped by a red card and a couple of yellows but when that did happen we managed to put enough good phases together to try and see the game out which was pleasing."
