Wilson try not enough for Ulster

Dragons 15 Ulster 8

Mark Anscombe’s men were untouchable in the early stages of last season as they racked up 11 straight league wins before finally being beaten by Munster on December 29, but the current campaign began in much less promising fashion.

An early drop goal and four penalties from fly-half Jason Tovey gave the Dragons a dream start to life under new boss Lyn Jones, but Ulster were far from at their fluent best at Rodney Parade.
