“It wasn’t pleasant, was it? I thought the first 35 minutes was a pretty good contest, there were errors from both sides, but it was one of those arm wrestles, and they got that score just before half time to make it 14-0. “We gave away five penalties in eight minutes. They got two scores and that was the game right there; we were trying to force things at that stage and Ulster were just more clinical than we were.“They deserved that victory and that scoreline. The frustrating thing for us is we made it too easy for them.”
