Court on for Black. But the Lion gives away a penalty at his first scrum. Tovey knocks over the long range penalty
It's the Dragons turn to win a scrum against the head!
Ulster make a promising 60m break up the field but can't on the end of a cross field kick, resulting in a defence lineout to the homeside on their 5m line
But another error from Thomas sees the possession handed straight back
A great attacking opportunity for the Dragons with a lineout in the Ulster 22.
Good defence deep in their own 22 sees the Dragons win a penalty.
@Mike in fairness to them, they are up against one of the stronger scrums in the league. Plus the new engagement sequence will take some getting used to.
Early days but NGD still seem to have their decade old problem of a dismal front row and poor scrum
After a promising start from both sides the game appeared to stall due to a series of errors from both sides. Ulster have the lead thanks to a powerful pack who are building a strong platform for the away side to work off. But a number of indiscretions have allowed Tovey to keep the homeside within touching distance.
Another error from Ulster allows Dragons to pinch a lineout. But another error from the Dragons sees the attacking opportunity die in a knock on.
