Ulster hopes left hanging by a thread

Scarlets 22 Ulster 13

Neil Doak’s men found themselves 12-0 down at half-time and despite a spirited comeback that saw them get back to within two points in the final 10 minutes, they let the chance of an unlikely victory slip through the fingers.

The concession of nine first-half penalties allowed Wales international outside-half Rhys Priestland to build a lead for the home side with the boot before a late James Davies try kept them in contention to qualify out of pool three behind leaders Toulon.
