Ulster left it late for the second week in a row for John Cooney to kick the winning penalty after staging a 20 point come back over a strong Edinburgh side..

Will Addison kick-started the revival with a try in the second half before John Cooney and Craig Gilroy followed suit to decrease the deficit to one point.

Edinburgh raced into a 13-0 lead after 16 minutes thanks to two penalties from Simon Hickey and a Tom Brown try. Henry Pyrgos floated a lovely ball over the Gilroy to find the Edinburgh winger who crossed in the corner. John Cooney got Ulster on the scoreboard with a penalty before Hickey added his third penalty of the evening.

A third penalty from Cooney left the Ulster trailing by ten points at the break while James Johnstone crossed for Edinburgh with five minutes played in the second half. Jordi Murphy went close for Ulster at the end of the first half but was ruled to have been in touch before he grounded the ball.
