Les Kiss acclaims Ulster's resilience and spirit

Ulster 9 Ospreys 7: Ulster’s Director of Rugby Les Kiss praised his side’s resilience and character as they clipped the Ospreys wings at the death of an extremely, absorbing Guinness PRO12 top-of-the-table contest at the Kingspan Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Welsh visitors had given unbeaten Ulster an almighty scare - they took the lead with an early Nicky Smith try and after Dan Biggar added the extras, they proceeded to build an impregnable barricade.

That was until a minute from the end when with one last Ulster flourish the Ospreys found the wrath of Welsh referee Ben Whitehouse at a ruck, and Paddy Jackson was coolness personified as he knocked over his third penalty to enable Ulster to remain the only unbeaten side in the league.
