Ulster now sit third in Conference B behind Scarlets and Leinster who both have a maximum of ten points from their opening two games.

Trimble scored his first try and got Ulster on the score sheet within ten minutes of the kick off. The ball fell fortuitously to Ulster winger after a messy lineout on the Benetton five metre line.
