    Score?

    Great timing having to go to watch an 8 and a 9 year old do a gymnastics performance. Fml...

    19-12 to Ulster, 2 mins left, Ulster defending on their line.

    Get in. Great turnover by Best there.

    Some great defence there to win that.

    That could be a massive moment in our season.

    Dragons never looked like scoring there at all. Good defence from Ulster but Dragons really had nothing.

    Not sure if that was brilliant defending from Ulster or terrible execution from the Dragons.

    Either way first away win of the season for Ulster.

    BBC NI have no highlights. BBC2 Wales will feature brief highlights on tonight's Scrum V at 8.00pm.

    First 20 mins we were terrible, then we began to claw our way back as the half progressed. We started the second half really well and then took the lead. After that we brought on a lot of experience in Best, Pienaar and Gilroy and looked in control until the last 5 mins where the Dragons pounded our line. The experience saw us through at the end.

    It wasn't a great performance by any stretch but it didn't lack for guts. It was encouraging. McCall went very well I thought. Mulholland made a few mistakes but again he put in a shift, but it did look a step up for him just from a technical perspective, but I'd like to see him again somewhere down the line. I thought Nelson went well at 15, Scholes was busy but I'm not sure if he is a game breaker, Arnold was a threat with the ball but does show his youth at times.

    Shockingly our No. 13 was probably our best player, VDM and Jackson (save for a really bad and almost costly knock on) weren't far behind. Herring was good apart from his decision to go for a scrum instead of the corner early in the 2nd half.

    A step in the right direction, but there are a lot of steps still to take.
