Ulster succumbed to another defeat in the Pro 12, this time at the hands of a fairly mediocre Glasgow side with the Scots pulling away in the closing minutes to win 17 – 9 denying Ulster a losing bonus point in the process.
I’ll get this one out of the way fairly quickly and then we can all move on with our lives – at least the match facts won’t take long!
Both sides misfired throughout the first half producing little by way of excitement. Glasgow slotted over three penalties through Duncan Weir and Ulster slotted over one through Humphreys.
Andrew Trimble and Simon Danielli had a bit of a dash up the touch line, that ultimately came to nothing, and Nevin Spence tried to volley the ball into Danielli’s hands which made me chuckle, but that was about it.
