Ulster lags see off ragged Dragons

Ulster 37, Dragons 18

It was far from impressive by a weakened Ulster side who will have to get used to playing without their big names in the following weeks. Once again their line-outs were ragged and they continually failed to clear out the rucks which allowed the Welsh visitors to continually mess them about.

But at least they had enough in their locker to see off their visitors, who for a period looked to be coming into the game when they camped on the Ulster line for 15 minutes in the second half, but left unrewarded despite Ulster having prop Bryan Young yellow-carded for collapsing a five-metre scrum.
