Quick-fire tries get Ulster back to winning ways

Glasgow 19 Ulster 20

In the wake of their triumph over the Scarlets, Sean Lineen’s troops had been confident of snuffing out the challenge of Ulster. But they were unable to recover fully from a disastrous spell at the end of the first half when they gave away two quick-fire tries while down to 14 men.

The opening exchanges were jittery with both sides making a spate of basic mistakes as they tried to settle. Niall O’Connor squandered an early penalty opportunity for the visitors — with Colin Gregor doing likewise at the other end. Gregor made quick amends, however, by slotting an angled effort to put the Warriors in front.
