Kicking frailties return for Ulster

Ulster’s unbeaten record in the Magners League came to an end at rain-soaked Murrayfield as David Blair’s drop goal put the seal on Edinburgh’s win.

The Irish visitors had led 10-8 at the break thanks to a try from centre Ian Whitten and five points from the boot of Paddy Wallace. Fraser McKenzie went over for the Gunners with Chris Paterson adding a penalty.

Ulster added two more penalties after the interval, but Netani Talei’s converted try, a second penalty from Paterson and that Blair drop goal gave the hosts the four points.
