Pienaar the superstar for Ulster

SPRINGBOK Ruan Pienaar could not have wished for a better start to his Ulster sojourn when he scored all of his side’s points in a none-too-exciting affair at Ravenhill last night, against a stubborn Glasgow side who deserved at least a loser’s bonus point for their efforts.

Pienaar pitched in with a try, five penalties and a conversion on his debut to lift a rather lethargic Ulster side into third place in the Magners League.

Glasgow were the superior side at the breakdown and continually denied Ulster to get on a roll as they scored the first try through DTH van der Merwe, with the mighty boot of fly-half Duncan Weir landing four penalties.
