ULSTER VICTORY IS HARD-FOUGHT

ULSTER, who beat Dragons 34-30 in Newpost were the only one of the four provinces to post a URC win at the weekend - and it didn't come easy.

Dragons were ten points up at the break, 24-14, as Aneurin Owen, Huw Anderson and Rhodhri Williams crossed for tries.

Owen's try had come in the second minute and was soon equalised by James Hume but an Ulster yellow card, for Rob Herring, proved costly as Dragons scored 10 points during his sin-bin.
