Ulster miss out on bonus against Dragons.

Ulster Rugby battled to a 17 – 27 win against Neath Gwent Dragons on Friday evening at Rodney Parade to maintain a top four spot in the Guinness PRO12 but they will be disappointed that they missed out on a try bonus. The result leaves them three points ahead of Scarlets with four games to play.

I’d predicted a scrappy bonus point win for Ulster but a poor pitch and a considerably improved performance from the hosts left Ulster grateful to come away from the match with the win in the bag as the Dragons enjoyed the bulk of territory and possession throughout the game.

The run ins for Ulster and Scarlets are as follows:

While Ulster do face the top three clubs in their last three matches there are still plenty of opportunities for Scarlets to slip . . .
