Ulster (12) 29
TRY: Robert Lyttle (2) Jacob Stockdale, Ruan Pienaar, Rob Herring. CON: Ruan Pienaar (2).
Dragons (8) 8
TRY: Pat Howard. PEN: Nick Macleod
Ulster got the 2016 – 17 season off to the best of starts, scoring five tries in a bonus point win against the Dragons at Ravenhill on Friday night.
Youngsters Robert Lyttle and Jacob Stockdale touched down in the first half with Lyttle adding his second before an emotional Ruan Pienaar crossed to wrap up the bonus point, Rob Herring completed the scoring. Pienaar had a disappointing night from the boot only converting two from five, thank goodness he’s leaving! (Joke, joke ffs! 😯 )
In reality, “The Original Golden Balls” (© Tommy Bowe & Dan Tuohy), did what he always did and dragged Ulster into the game after a slow start from the home team which saw them trail 0 – 8 after an early penalty by Nick Macleod and a well worked twelfth minute try by Pat Howard.
