Ulster’s stuttering season continued last night with a 16 – 10 loss to Edinburgh at a deserted Murrayfield.

I’d predicted Ulster pulling away for a comfortable win, in a scrappy match, but their on-field leaders failed to rally their troops and it was the hosts who looked the most comfortable as they defended their lead in the closing minutes.

Oh well, at least I was right about it being a scrappy match, it was a poor advert for the PRO12, but Ulster’s lack of cohesion on their away day jollies is a continuing worry and something Les Kiss will have to address when he takes up his tenure.

The first half was fairly nondescript with Greig Tonks landing two penalties to Peter Nelson’s one to give the hosts a 6 – 3 lead at the interval.
