Kingspan Stadium rose as one for ‘Chad’.
Chris Henry completed his remarkable return to rugby on Friday, a little over four months after he suffered a mini stroke while on Ireland duty.
The flanker went in for surgery to repair a minor defect in his heart, late last year, and no specific return date was set. It was a set-back for a player expected to start the November internationals as Ireland’s first-choice openside.
Henry was delighted to make his Ulster Rugby come-back at his old stomping ground. He came off the bench in the second-half and helped his side to a home win over Cardiff.
Louis Ludik scored a brace and Craig Gilroy’s try, his ninth of the league season, has put him top of the Guinness PRO12 try-scoring charts.
