Ulster produced a disjointed display to go down 15 – 8 to Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade, Newport on Friday night.
Ulster scored the only try of the game, with Wilson crossing in the first half, to add to a Jackson penalty, but the visitors failed to threaten the scoreboard in the second period allowing the Dragons to secure a comfortable win through the boot of Jason Tovey who added three penalties to a drop goal and penalty from the first half.
Neither side produced much in the opening exchanges but Tovey eventually broke the deadlock with a drop goal to give the home side a 3 – 0 lead.
Jackson levelled on the 13th minute, slotting over a penalty after good work in the scrum, but Tovey restored the Dragons lead, with a penalty of his own, following a Callum Black infringement.
A good catch a drive from Ulster . . .
