Ulster gun down Edinburgh

Edinburgh 3 Ulster 41

The visitors forged ahead through an Adam Larkin penalty before Ryan Constable’s converted try on the stroke of half-time gave the score a more realistic look.

The Ulstermen stepped up a gear after the break and put the issue beyond doubt with a trio of touchdowns in quick succession, all converted by Larkin.

Constable notched his second while wingers Tyrone Howe and James Topping were the other Ulstermen to breach a ragged Edinburgh defence.

Constable completed his hat-trick with the best score of the night, converted by Larkin, who rubbed salt in the Gunners’ wounds with a late penalty.
