Paddy Jackson targets final-day triumph

Their chances of a Guinness Pro12 home semi-final have receded since drawing with Munster last Saturday but Paddy Jackson insists Ulster will go to Glasgow Warriors this weekend with only victory in mind.

Out-half Jackson, taking over the kicking duties from Ruan Pienaar for the first time since January, salvaged two points for his province at Ravenhill with the last kick of the game, a difficult, pressure-laden effort from wide on the left to convert Paul Marshall’s 81st-minute try.

Yet the draw means Ulster trail Ospreys, Glasgow and Munster, all level on 70 points, by a single point heading into this Saturday’s final round of regular season matches.
