A malfunctioning lineout and scrum contributed to a heavy loss against Glasgow and leaves Ulster requiring a big performance against Edinburgh in BT Murrayfield next week.
Rob Herring’s try after eight minutes was Ulster’s only points of the match as the away side fell to a disappointing defeat.
However Ulster started as they did last week and flew out of the blocks. Billy Burns looked to use the ball in behind Stuart McCloskey to Luke Marshall early as they attacked down the wings. They got some joy and two penalties gave Ulster a five metre lineout and with the maul set, Rob Herring spotted a gap and darted over.
The lead didn’t last long as Glasgow responded with a try of their own from a rolling maul with Fraser Brown the scorer. Playing against the wind in the first half, Ulster struggled to get out of their own half and it told on the scoreboard with Adam Hastings adding their second try.
