Ulster had had plenty to celebrate so far this season. Three wins out

0:00:210:00:30

of four isn't a bad start. Little bit disappointed with Sunday.

0:00:310:00:35

were no excuses after a poor performance away from home. We were

0:00:350:00:39

not physical enough and the tackling was not great. Five days

0:00:390:00:44

later, Ulster are back in Wales. The Dragons are good side and

0:00:440:00:52

aggressive. Especially at home. It will be a tough game. So says Dan

0:00:520:00:57

Tuohy. Welcome to the latest instalment of Ulster rugby life.

0:00:570:01:00

The Newport Gwent Dragons provide opposition in the Pro12 season and

0:01:000:01:07

joining me art Tony McWhirter and and the board. We will hear from me

0:01:070:01:11

in a moment but first, the thoughts of the Ulster coach and last

0:01:110:01:15

weekend's first defeat. From our point of view it's very

0:01:150:01:22

disappointing. We give away 18 full penalties. That is more penalties

0:01:220:01:27

than they have given away in all of our other games this season. It is

0:01:270:01:32

exceptionally disappointing and the referee had some issues. But that

0:01:320:01:35

is the case with all referees and we have to deal with that. We have

0:01:350:01:40

to learn to manage that and we have been doing that so far and this

0:01:400:01:44

weekend against the Dragons will be no different. Were did it go wrong

0:01:440:01:52

last week? It started with the set pieces. The Ospreys had a look at

0:01:520:01:55

the Ulster full-backs and really a dollars the fact that there were

0:01:550:01:59

youngsters in the front row. Duncan Jones took them apart. He showed

0:01:590:02:04

his experience. Let's look at some examples. Ulster had also has a

0:02:040:02:11

problems. Probably experience was the one thing. The very experienced

0:02:110:02:17

front-five. They are up in the scrummage. Nobody standing up and

0:02:170:02:23

hanging on. As Brian said, I cannot think of any team that has given

0:02:230:02:28

away 18 penalties. How much did the referee played in this? The last

0:02:280:02:32

thing we want to do is criticised but there will always be a

0:02:330:02:35

breakdown in communication somewhere. We spoke beforehand and

0:02:350:02:40

considering how much trouble the Ulster side was in, nobody was

0:02:400:02:45

penalised individually. It was left to roam on and the Ospreys turned

0:02:450:02:51

the screws. Robbie Deeya, the yellow card. And there were

0:02:510:02:56

problems with the breakdown? Look at the Ulster players, they are

0:02:560:03:00

very slow getting to the breakdown and they were lacklustre. And the

0:03:000:03:04

lack of experience across the board. Compare that to what has happened

0:03:040:03:09

so far. It is an area where they have been particularly impressive.

0:03:090:03:13

The fast ball is the key. They are exciting with the fast backs. One

0:03:130:03:19

thing that they will see and hear different tonight is the referee,

0:03:190:03:22

the refereeing from Scotland and Neil Patterson is very focused and

0:03:220:03:27

you will hear from him. That is one thing the guys did not have last

0:03:270:03:31

week. In terms of doing something wrong, they will fix it before they

0:03:310:03:37

are penalised. Paddy Jackson, how did he handle last week? Well, a

0:03:370:03:42

lot of Young players around him. When he does get the ball he is

0:03:420:03:48

exciting. And away. That is what you want. A little bit of

0:03:480:03:52

acceleration and he has a good future. With Ian Humphreys missing

0:03:520:03:58

it's another big night for Jackson? I absolutely. He did a lot last

0:03:580:04:02

week in terms of going forward. He showed inexperience when he tried

0:04:020:04:06

to move the ball around too much and did not get a lot of structure.

0:04:060:04:12

He will have learnt from that. The inexperienced back line, there is a

0:04:120:04:16

loss of potential but the Ospreys or a difficult place to go to. If

0:04:160:04:20

you look at the back line, there is a lot of experience but they will

0:04:200:04:25

learn from that. They have a chance to turn that around. There is a

0:04:250:04:29

quick turnaround and it is a time to bounce-back quickly. That is

0:04:290:04:34

something I am looking forward to. To see if they can bounce back. It

0:04:340:04:39

was mentioned earlier, physicality is the key. If they don't front up,

0:04:390:04:45

they will get blown away. Is this about Ulster trying to keep things

0:04:450:04:51

more simple? Possibly, yes. Last week, we may be underestimated the

0:04:510:04:57

opposition. That will have been put to bed. The let's talk about the

0:04:570:05:02

Ulster team tonight. Three changes. No Jared Payne. Adam D'Arcy comes

0:05:030:05:09

in at full-back. I would like to see Willie Faloon back in.

0:05:090:05:13

Something that the side has missed, he is a good man on the ground.

0:05:130:05:18

Because of last week? This gives them balance in the back row. And

0:05:180:05:28
0:05:280:05:29

the back line is good. Exciting. is a shame that he had a bad game

0:05:290:05:33

but there is an able replacement with Adam D'Arcy. He will kick

0:05:330:05:40

every ball. He will be missed. And the one thing he does bring his

0:05:400:05:44

experience in the back. What about the Dragons? Missing a lot of

0:05:440:05:50

players. Missing people due to the World Cup but they also have

0:05:500:05:56

internal injuries. It is a chance for that inexperience to show.

0:05:560:06:05

Jason is their key player. And how excited are you to see Tom dry

0:06:050:06:13

pitch and anger. He is a flying machine? -- Tonderai Chavhanga.

0:06:140:06:17

This is what the northern hemisphere game is coming to, they

0:06:170:06:24

are able to travel. And bringing a different prospect to rugby.

0:06:250:06:28

suppose discipline will be absolutely key for Ulster after

0:06:280:06:32

conceding all those penalties? Without doubt, that is what course

0:06:320:06:35

then the game. They cannot afford to give away that none of penalties

0:06:350:06:43

and expect to win. -- that many penalties. Thank you. Time to join

0:06:430:06:53
0:06:530:07:04

game underway. The former alone outside-half Neil Paterson is there.

0:07:040:07:14
0:07:140:07:15

Adam D'Arcy, back in the side after injury. And he chases his own kick.

0:07:150:07:18

Back on the Dragons side, they have played the other three Irish teams

0:07:180:07:28
0:07:280:07:35

and have lost to Ulster, Munster, Gavin Thomas, capped 22 times for

0:07:350:07:42

his country. Jason Tovey. He has a little shove. He is dangerous and

0:07:420:07:48

that was a high tackle from Ulster. To add another high tackle coming

0:07:480:07:52

in from Declan Fitzpatrick. The referee will have a word with the

0:07:520:08:00

Ulster man who put that tackle in. There was a step inside and a

0:08:000:08:08

rather clumsy if on malicious attack by Nevin Spence. That little

0:08:080:08:13

shove. A couple of seasons ago, he got a hat-trick of tries against

0:08:130:08:23
0:08:230:08:26

He threw the arm up. The conditions are perfect, expect to see a lot of

0:08:260:08:30

multi- play rugby. Both teams like to play rugby and the temper will

0:08:300:08:37

be crucial. Whether they can play with much width. That was a good

0:08:370:08:46

strike from Jason Tovey. Hugely experienced. Here is a man 10 years

0:08:460:08:54

as a senior. Tom Willis, the skipper. The interception from

0:08:540:09:00

Ulster, nothing wrong with that. Gets through the line-up. That is a

0:09:000:09:10
0:09:100:09:15

scrum half, Paul Marshall. Paddy Jackson wasting no time and that

0:09:150:09:25
0:09:250:09:41

Ulster are falling through, nobody little on the early side. That is a

0:09:410:09:50

good throw. Taken by Pedrie Wannenburg. The 10 metre line. Luke

0:09:500:09:54

Marshall not quite getting away cleanly. Jackson. Luke Marshall,

0:09:540:10:02

Nevin Spence. Well tackled by Tom Riley. Luke Marshall, Dan Tuohy. He

0:10:020:10:09

did his hamstring badly in the second half against the Dragons.

0:10:090:10:13

And Neil Paterson has another penalty. Luke Marshall sets off but

0:10:130:10:18

he had to come back. A good early indication from the referee that he

0:10:180:10:24

will police that area. Both teams have that attacking intent and they

0:10:240:10:27

are allowed to get quick ball from the breakdown. It makes for an

0:10:270:10:33

entertaining game. It might have been Paddy Jackson's goal-kicking

0:10:330:10:38

range but he has got in as close as possible. This was the initial

0:10:380:10:44

thrust from Dan Tuohy. An the Dragons player right off his feet.

0:10:450:10:51

Some interference from Adam Jones. One of the three Welsh

0:10:510:10:55

internationals in the Dragons pack. Nigel Brady, his first Oscar start

0:10:550:11:03

this season. The more than competent Dan Tuohy. Good position

0:11:030:11:09

from Ulster. Willie Faloon on the Ulster outside-half position. Luke

0:11:090:11:19
0:11:190:11:19

Marshall. Paul Marshall. Pedrie Wannenburg. He got one of Ulster's

0:11:190:11:26

three tries last season. Last year. The Dragons coming over and the

0:11:260:11:32

referee isn't having any of this. They are infringing on the

0:11:320:11:35

breakdown and Neil Paterson is taking no nonsense. A couple of

0:11:350:11:40

penalties already. Not running away. Interfering with the hat back as he

0:11:400:11:44

goes to clear the ball. If you can stamp his authority early, the

0:11:440:11:53

teams will hopefully adapt. It was the initial drive from Pedrie

0:11:530:11:58

Wannenburg. He was well tackled by both of the second row forwards. I

0:11:580:12:02

can see what that infringement was. Coming in from the site. Adam Jones

0:12:020:12:12
0:12:120:12:20

inside the 22. He will have practised this a lot. Just against

0:12:210:12:26

are the �5.5 million new stand. And Jackson makes no mistake. That is a

0:12:260:12:31

good start from Ulster. Having given away an early penalty. Not

0:12:310:12:41
0:12:410:12:50

capable. Ulster have bounced back and they are leading. He has given

0:12:500:13:00
0:13:000:13:02

that plenty of height. The new man, Tonderai Chavhanga. Luke Marshall

0:13:020:13:08

takes it on himself. Into the touchline, Lewis Evans. He has made

0:13:090:13:17

some decent ground. Wayne Evans. Chipped away. The penalty, to the

0:13:170:13:21

Dragons, straight away. And Ulster have done what they how should not

0:13:210:13:28

have done. That is concede a penalty. But Neil Paterson is

0:13:280:13:36

nothing if not inconsistent. In the aftermath of last week's defeat at

0:13:360:13:40

the Ospreys, they are adapting to the referee's interpretation. It is

0:13:400:13:45

clear already with only six minutes gone, that rolling away at the

0:13:450:13:49

breakdown, any infringement preventing the quick ball and the

0:13:490:13:58

offside line are the two areas to focus on. The first team to adapt

0:13:580:14:08
0:14:080:14:09

quickly will win. There and there is a terrific knock. That was Craig

0:14:090:14:14

Gilroy on his opposite number. Mike Poole. He did a spot of cage

0:14:140:14:20

fighting, it seems. The referee tonight might be more on the ball

0:14:200:14:24

than any referee in a cage fighting, not that I had any experience of

0:14:240:14:29

the latter. The first piece of action for the Dragons from their

0:14:290:14:39
0:14:390:14:46

Seven and a half minutes gone and it is finely balanced at three

0:14:460:14:54

apiece. In the red shirt is Jamie Smith, who signed for Dragons last

0:14:540:15:00

season. A warning with that kick from Tovey, not regulation by any

0:15:000:15:08

means. Great chasing by Ulster and Spence. A wonderful take by the

0:15:080:15:18
0:15:180:15:43

that break down. The referee has given the scrum to Ulster. The

0:15:430:15:47

first scrum of the game. It should be interested after what happened

0:15:470:15:54

last week. Ulster going through a few phases. Trying to generate some

0:15:540:15:59

momentum into their play and the ball unplayable. A big hit. But the

0:15:590:16:03

strength to ride the tackle and the ability to get over that line and

0:16:030:16:09

Brady coming in and cleaning out to ensure that recycled possession.

0:16:090:16:15

the tiet head side for Dragons is the new man, Nathan Buck. He made

0:16:150:16:25
0:16:250:16:28

his debut last week in Galloway. -- Gall way. I can't understand why

0:16:280:16:32

fellow forwards pat a forward on the head when the scrum collapses.

0:16:320:16:40

I'm not sure if that is called doing your job properly. A gorgeous

0:16:400:16:48

night here. An Indian summer. It is a shirt-sleeved evening. It is very

0:16:480:16:58
0:16:580:17:26

tried to keep the ball in. And that should be a line out to the Dragons.

0:17:270:17:32

A bit lateral from Ulster in their attacking place. Spence get over

0:17:320:17:39

the advantage line and he usually gets across and Ulster guilty of

0:17:390:17:43

drifting across with the pass and cramping themselves into the touch

0:17:430:17:53
0:17:530:18:03

line. Forced to throw that metres. Evans may have a kick down

0:18:030:18:10

the line. That is hanging awkwardly. A bit of obstruction the Dragons

0:18:100:18:20
0:18:200:18:21

fans feel. He knocked it forward. The referee playing advantage. AWye

0:18:210:18:31
0:18:310:18:32

comes Tom Riley. It is nothing if not exciting so far. This time the

0:18:330:18:42
0:18:430:18:43

Dragons knock forward and the referee is again playing advantage.

0:18:430:18:48

AI way he goes. This is what they bought him for. What a turn of pace.

0:18:480:18:54

Was he taken down late? The Dragons fans think so. Gilroy has come back

0:18:540:18:59

and he has knocked it forward. It is an error-strewn game, but it

0:18:590:19:05

makes for an exciting game. What about this fellow, Chavhanga?

0:19:050:19:11

to end stuff and but for a couple of handling errors, it could have

0:19:110:19:16

been a try. This man is electric. The ability to turn on that

0:19:160:19:22

accelerator. Not the sort of man you want to turn loose kicking the

0:19:220:19:30

ball to him. He is very strung and got away from the defence. I think

0:19:300:19:33

two Ulster players collide, rather than obstruct. Otherwise the

0:19:330:19:42

referee would have picked up on that. This is the closest the

0:19:420:19:52
0:19:520:20:07

at what is going on in the front row. Down on their knees a couple

0:20:070:20:13

of players. He has asked them to reset. Great attacking position for

0:20:130:20:23
0:20:230:20:55

the Dragonss. They have four men to line. Knocked back, says the

0:20:550:21:00

referee. Ulster getting to the break down quickly and causing the

0:21:000:21:10
0:21:100:21:13

Dragons to concede ground. Spence with the tackle. A missed tackle

0:21:130:21:23
0:21:230:21:29

and they have won the penalty. Holding on in the tackle. Good

0:21:300:21:33

defence by Ulster? Yes it is difficult to see why in perfect

0:21:330:21:38

conditions there is the number of handling errors that there has been.

0:21:380:21:42

Unless there a fine due settling on the ground. But Ulster forced to

0:21:420:21:48

dig deep and coming up with the crucial turnover to relieve

0:21:480:21:51

pressure. Paddy Jackson will be relieved that his cross kick didn't

0:21:510:22:00

result in a try for the Dragons' new signing. Jackson finds his

0:22:000:22:10
0:22:100:22:33

touch. There is the offence. that. It goes back, and it has been

0:22:330:22:43
0:22:430:22:55

opts for the kick. And not a bad kick. A good option by Tovey. He

0:22:550:22:59

assessed the situation. Ulster had excess numbers in defence and

0:22:590:23:04

executed a good kick. He had a glance and on to that left foot and

0:23:040:23:14
0:23:140:23:46

scrum option. When you play the Dragons here at Rodney Parade, you

0:23:460:23:54

want to silence them early. It is an great ground and very vocal and

0:23:540:24:00

you need to get on top of them early. Ulster will have to dig deep

0:24:000:24:10
0:24:100:24:30

to ensure they don't give away any Ulster give away the penalty.

0:24:300:24:36

Faloon was off side. You would be backing Tovey to knock this over.

0:24:360:24:41

He has looked very accurate with the ball off the grounds and an

0:24:410:24:47

opportunity to get that 6-3 lead. Faloon was just loitering there

0:24:470:24:57
0:24:570:24:59

with intent to be penalised you have to say. And Spence having a

0:24:590:25:06

wee word with him. The assistant referee seemed to be having a big

0:25:060:25:12

input into these penalty, they're being strict on the back footment

0:25:120:25:22
0:25:220:25:24

the referee is showing his intent. Tovey with over 300 points in the

0:25:240:25:34
0:25:340:25:39

Dragons into the lead. Coming up to the end of the first quarter, it is

0:25:390:25:45

Dragons 6, Ulster 3. The challenge for Ulster is now one of territory

0:25:450:25:49

and possession. They played the last ten minutes deep in their own

0:25:490:25:54

territory and the Dragons have got the points. Looking for some

0:25:540:26:02

possession and territory now. Ulster had a great chance there to

0:26:020:26:07

snap that up. The initial knock forwards is by the dragons. But

0:26:070:26:13

there was a glorious chance and a sharp Ulster may have capitalised

0:26:130:26:17

on that. No one put their name on the ball for the Dragons and there

0:26:170:26:24

was uncertainty about who was going to take that. That resulted in the

0:26:240:26:34
0:26:340:26:36

handling error. A perfect attacking platform for Ulster. Jerry Cronin

0:26:360:26:46
0:26:460:26:57

starting his fifth game in a row front rows about the early

0:26:570:27:07
0:27:070:27:18

by Henry. Away goes Marshall and he indidn't perhaps have the ball

0:27:180:27:22

properly in his possession. This could be dangerous. Back goes

0:27:220:27:27

Gilroy, as the referee decided the advantage was over and Gilroy does

0:27:270:27:32

wonderfully and again Ulster give away the penalty. It may have been

0:27:320:27:40

for not releasing. Claiming that Ulster, an Ulster player had a hand

0:27:400:27:47

on him. But Dragons players pouring over and some excellent counter

0:27:470:27:50

rucking work. Well the penalty count is starting to creep up again

0:27:500:27:59

and the error count is creeping up. Brian McLaughlin want be happy with

0:27:590:28:04

that. He didn't have the ball under control there and away came the

0:28:050:28:09

Dragons. Gilroy did well to get back. He was tackled and he went to

0:28:090:28:19
0:28:190:28:20

ground. And he got himself up again. Was he held? Debatable. Well stolen

0:28:200:28:30
0:28:300:28:46

Jackson. Ran into a couple of big tight forwards. Marshall with an

0:28:460:28:56
0:28:560:29:13

release the fast fella? Yes they can. Well that is high. That is the

0:29:130:29:18

second high tackle Spence has put in and he may find himself carded

0:29:180:29:23

for that. A bit columnsy. But very definitely high and illegal andless

0:29:230:29:27

going to go to the bin. That is the second time and you can't blame the

0:29:270:29:31

referee for that. I would like to see the replay. It look like it

0:29:310:29:36

started at the shoulder and maybe driftd up. Maybe given he has been

0:29:360:29:40

warned, the referee feeling he had no option. It will be interesting

0:29:400:29:49

to see where that tackle initially started. The full back came in. Oh

0:29:490:29:55

that was high. Columnsy with the arm - clumsy with the arm position.

0:29:550:30:00

The first contact was above the shoulder. A difficult time for

0:30:000:30:07

Ulster. Both teams have given away possession from the set piece

0:30:070:30:13

through errors. They will want to ensloor they don't do that again.

0:30:130:30:23
0:30:230:30:30

The Dragons have gone for the line the Dragons have kept it. Jones

0:30:300:30:37

takes it forward. Tom Willis, the captain, makes some ground. 15

0:30:370:30:43

metres out. Thomas, the flanker. Quicker ball, Wayne Evans. This

0:30:430:30:50

could be dangerous. And he has gone through! They realise that Ulster

0:30:500:30:57

had a big hole in their defence. They capitalised to the full. And

0:30:570:31:02

Ulster, once again, having scored the early points, have now been

0:31:020:31:09

conceding. Very good football from the Dragons. A couple of times they

0:31:090:31:14

went around the same way around the rucks. And the overlap develops in

0:31:140:31:18

the wider channel. And the Dragons very clinical in executing their

0:31:180:31:25

numbers. A little bit of drifting by Ulster but they were outnumbered

0:31:250:31:32

and outmanoeuvred. Puts a foot on the gas... And it is a try for the

0:31:320:31:42
0:31:420:31:47

and connect so far. That little chip from the FA line. That was

0:31:470:31:55

lovely. -- far line. The last time Ulster were here at this stage,

0:31:550:32:02

they were performing similarly. The Dragons could not come back but can

0:32:020:32:11

Ulster come back? Jason Tovey is having a very good time. It isn't

0:32:110:32:15

about Ulster enough time defensively. And that was very

0:32:150:32:25
0:32:250:32:36

clinical. Jackson goes for the that going? That is going... Taken

0:32:360:32:44

across. That is fine, by Martyn Thomas. Taken by Adam D'Arcy. Luke

0:32:440:32:54
0:32:540:33:02

Marshall, he has men. One of them against the Dragons for being

0:33:020:33:11

offside. This is reasonably capable. I think Paddy Jackson might have a

0:33:110:33:21
0:33:210:33:26

Ten-point margin. Kicking straight in front, but a fair difference --

0:33:260:33:35

distance. 26 minutes gone. One try against them but they will want to

0:33:350:33:41

chisel that lead down. Martyn Thomas did extremely well. He was

0:33:410:33:45

going to fall back into the dead- ball area. This is the kick from

0:33:450:33:55
0:33:550:34:14

Jackson. The Dragons for offside. A between them. The Dragons coaching

0:34:140:34:19

staff will be very happy with this. They have less numbers than Ulster

0:34:190:34:23

but they are influential. They don't many have the debt that

0:34:230:34:33
0:34:330:34:34

Ulster have with the number of injuries. Jackson at the restart.

0:34:340:34:41

This could be interesting. Well taken. By Martyn Thomas. That is a

0:34:410:34:48

good forward ball from the men in Black. He has a little think. He is

0:34:480:34:58
0:34:580:34:58

determined not to be stood up again. Two very good tackles. Nathan Buck.

0:34:580:35:08

The tight head. Tom Willis. Declan Fitzpatrick. Wayne Evans has a

0:35:080:35:18
0:35:180:35:22

glance. Henry underneath. Knocks it backwards. The crowd disagrees. I

0:35:220:35:30

think that was overruled. The touch judge said it was knocked forward.

0:35:300:35:36

Tonderai Chavhanga. He scored six tries against Uruguay won his

0:35:360:35:46
0:35:460:35:57

Springboks debut in 2005. That is by Brady. The Ospreys looking to

0:35:570:36:03

slow this down. They want this to be a frantic affair. Good

0:36:030:36:07

experience coming through. Settling things down. The momentum is

0:36:070:36:14

certainly with the Dragons. Ulster cannot afford to lose any more

0:36:140:36:24
0:36:240:36:42

points by half-time. Andy Kyriacou Ulster Catt this evening. By the

0:36:420:36:48

end of this season I am sure he will have reached his much coveted

0:36:480:36:58
0:36:580:37:03

century. -- Ulster Cup. Ian Whitten, he is halfway there. He Willie

0:37:030:37:07

Faloon, standing on the outside- half position for Ulster. That'll

0:37:070:37:12

be a defensive positions of the Ulster scrummage only has two men

0:37:120:37:22
0:37:220:37:39

in the back row. To flank forwards, tight-head side. The referee has

0:37:390:37:46

not called stop. It is ticking away. Half-an-hour played. 13 - 3, the

0:37:460:37:56
0:37:560:38:15

Dragons. He is seeing exactly what Chavhanga. Into some space. The

0:38:150:38:20

referee spotted the Dragons midfield. They moved back and

0:38:200:38:26

Ulster have done well to achieve that. It isn't completely done and

0:38:260:38:33

dusted. Ulster have gone outside the 22. Jackson gets it away. Just

0:38:330:38:40

as far as Martyn Thomas. Andrew Coombs, the flank forward. He makes

0:38:400:38:49

good ground. Well gathered. It came off Ian Whitten. That will be And

0:38:490:38:54

Dragons line-out. They will want to correct that issue at a line-out,

0:38:540:38:57

which is the Ulster players pouring through to put pressure on half-

0:38:570:39:03

back. They need to tighten up numbers and protect that line. Or

0:39:030:39:07

they need to bring it down and start driving, just to keep the

0:39:070:39:17
0:39:170:39:17

Ulster players honest. Tom Willis, the Dragons skipper. Untidy, but it

0:39:170:39:25

was put in. Jason Tovey. Actually, Ashley Smith. Concedes some metres.

0:39:250:39:34

Willie Faloon gets himself out of the way. And Pedrie Wannenburg,

0:39:340:39:44
0:39:440:39:52

gets himself offside. Henry will be the pitch. On you go. He could not

0:39:520:39:57

be care, he told him to have a word with his players and Jason Tovey

0:39:570:40:02

shapes up to take a kick at goal. After three minutes and the skin,

0:40:020:40:06

you could see that was an area that he would police strictly. Ulster

0:40:060:40:13

have to adapt to that. He has been extremely accurate and out. It will

0:40:130:40:16

be a source of points for the Dragons if Ulster do not correct

0:40:160:40:25

that area. It seems that every week players have to adapt to the

0:40:250:40:35
0:40:350:40:38

referee. Jason Tovey, and that little left-footed chip. And the

0:40:380:40:45

same result. There is a gap of 13 points. Nevin Spence comes back

0:40:450:40:51

onto the field. And the Dragons, what their opponents down to 14 men,

0:40:510:40:57

did exactly what they had to do. They rattled up 10 points. This is

0:40:570:41:03

very intelligent rugby. They did very well to take advantage of that

0:41:030:41:13
0:41:130:41:19

security. Well taken in on the ten- metre line. Gavin Thomas. When

0:41:190:41:23

Evans, looks to his nearside and changed his mind. Ashley Smith

0:41:230:41:33
0:41:330:41:42

Dragons. They want to cut this deficit. Nevin Spence, back on, he

0:41:420:41:50

will be contrite about that sending off. Definitely being held. Some

0:41:510:41:55

excellent speed from Ulster and indecision from the Dragons. Taking

0:41:550:42:00

the ball into contact from a less dominant position. And Willie

0:42:000:42:05

Faloon was straight over the ball. And the penalty was duly awarded.

0:42:050:42:15
0:42:150:42:40

You cannot criticise the mistake whatsoever. From long range.

0:42:400:42:44

And that Young Ulster fan is very supportive of that very Young

0:42:440:42:50

Ulster outside-half, Paddy Jackson is just 19 years of age. From a

0:42:500:42:53

similar position and it was a crucial score. The Dragons were

0:42:530:42:57

getting into that 15 point margin. And this just brings it back for

0:42:570:43:07

Ulster. A Marshall takes it in. finds a pretty decent bounce. On

0:43:070:43:13

the roof of that brand new commentary position! The last time,

0:43:130:43:22

we were in what was more less a garden shed. Evans. Pedrie

0:43:220:43:32

Wannenburg. The Dragons have done well. Jones, to his partner in

0:43:320:43:42
0:43:420:43:42

crime. Heavens back inside to the loose head prop, Nathan Williams.

0:43:420:43:52
0:43:520:43:56

Jason Tovey. Gavin Thomas, tackled Adam D'Arcy, that was an awkward,

0:43:560:44:03

slippery ball. Martyn Thomas. Gets away from the first tackle. Then he

0:44:030:44:11

loses his feet. Wayne Evans. Dangerous time for Ulster. Another

0:44:110:44:15

penalty would probably do them. Well through. Wayne Evans has done

0:44:150:44:24

well. Good, aggressive play at the breakdown by the home team. Adam

0:44:240:44:32

Jones acting as scrum half. Nathan Buck, the tight-head, is there.

0:44:320:44:39

Good work from Declan Fitzpatrick. Jason Tovey. Where will that

0:44:390:44:46

Barnes? Very kind. It just broke into the left and into touch. Taken

0:44:460:44:56
0:44:560:45:10

Scrum. Black ball. The touch judge on the far side called it and said

0:45:100:45:14

that the quick Ulster throw was taken inside the five metre line,

0:45:140:45:20

which you're not allowed to do. It was not deliberate, but it was an

0:45:200:45:28

infringement. That is got work. This is crucial for Ulster. To give

0:45:280:45:33

away points with less than three minutes on the clock would be

0:45:330:45:43
0:45:430:45:43

desperate for their ambitions to get a result away from home. It got

0:45:430:45:48

untidy at the Ulster loose head siefpltd Ulster are ten points

0:45:480:45:58
0:45:580:45:58

adrift. Another dry -- try for Dragons would not be on Bryan

0:45:580:46:08
0:46:080:46:23

McLaughlin's agenda I have a Trying to bring in the left-wing.

0:46:230:46:29

Evans looking for the big men and he has found one in Buck. A change

0:46:290:46:36

in direction on the cards. Tovey with a chip. That was almost there.

0:46:360:46:41

It wasn't a bad kick. Paul Marshall has been caught offside and the

0:46:410:46:45

referee has given a penalty against Ulster. I haven't been keeping

0:46:450:46:53

Tally, how much penalties is that Ulster have given away? Its will be

0:46:530:46:57

in double figures. The Dragons are filling their bats with the

0:46:570:47:02

opportunities that have been created from them. -- filling their

0:47:020:47:08

boots. Last year Ulster put in some excellent prmm -- performances away

0:47:080:47:12

from home. This is the second in a row and it is not going plan,

0:47:130:47:17

because of the error count. They're going to have look at some

0:47:170:47:23

communication. That is generally what it is when you're always being

0:47:230:47:32

pinged for offside. You need a real communication across the team.

0:47:320:47:37

player does it again, another penalty for him. The Dragons are 13

0:47:370:47:43

points up in the last minute of the first half and the Dragons leading

0:47:430:47:50

19-6. And Paul Marshall strieing offside. Ulster are always going to

0:47:500:47:55

be susceptible to those penalties, they employ tremendous line speed.

0:47:550:48:05
0:48:050:48:15

But they're going to have to give always under pressure, he was going

0:48:150:48:20

to bring them back for the scrummage, but he has decided he

0:48:200:48:28

has seen enough of this half. The same will probably be said by Bryan

0:48:280:48:35

McGlabg Lynne. They have fallen to the kicking of Tovey. Half time

0:48:350:48:45
0:48:450:48:49

here at a throbbing Rodney Parade It was not the response that Ulster

0:48:490:48:53

were looking for after last week's defeat. It has been a bit flat and

0:48:530:48:58

the Dragons have taken this game by the scruff of the neck through the

0:48:580:49:04

boot of Tovey and the pace of Tonderai Chavhanga. Too many

0:49:040:49:09

mistakes and too many penalties. A yellow card and they paid the price

0:49:090:49:15

as the home side scored ten points. Ulster clinging on just about

0:49:150:49:21

thanks to the boot of Paddy Jackson. At half time they trail by 13

0:49:210:49:28

points. Not looking too good for Ulster. It is the Dragons 19 and

0:49:280:49:38
0:49:380:49:39

Ulster 6. Well that is not the response that the coach wanted.

0:49:390:49:43

this is something we talked about, how we wanted to sea what sort of a

0:49:430:49:46

performance we would put in after what happened last week. This is

0:49:460:49:52

not it. There is no energy, there doesn't seem to be much going

0:49:520:49:56

forward. All the clinical things you expect from professionals is

0:49:570:50:03

not happening. It is dire. We heard from Dan tuelee saying Ulster

0:50:030:50:07

weren't physical enough this week and they weren't this week. No we

0:50:070:50:13

have done everything in ones, we have tackled and rucked in ones. If

0:50:130:50:18

there is one factor, the game we played last week was on a Sunday,

0:50:180:50:24

we have had a four day turn around and this a difficult. Your

0:50:240:50:28

associate with having a week in between. There has not been a lot

0:50:280:50:33

of time to recover. But they will be getting a roasting at half time.

0:50:330:50:37

It is a young team, last week was a confidence sapper, are you seeing

0:50:370:50:43

that having an impact? Yes how is it going to impact on these young

0:50:430:50:48

guys and how will they bounce back from what happened last week? At

0:50:480:50:56

the minute it would appear they haven't bounced back well.

0:50:560:51:01

Physicalty is king in the game and that is very poor. If they're not

0:51:010:51:08

careful, it could be a bigger score line. Let's look at some of the

0:51:080:51:13

early opportunities. Ulster road their luck when Gilroy took a high

0:51:130:51:17

their luck when Gilroy took a high ball. It looked as if it was

0:51:170:51:27
0:51:270:51:27

knocked on. We were all surprised, but gill -- Gilroy made the pass.

0:51:270:51:33

But we have made a lot of unforced errors. And in the wrong part of

0:51:330:51:39

the pitch. If we have cocked it up in their half, they have resorted

0:51:390:51:46

to batting t down the field. Later on there is a break from this,

0:51:460:51:52

Chavhanga catches. That tackle has to be made. Had we made those

0:51:520:51:56

tackle, another tackle. He should not be running through that much

0:51:560:52:02

traffic and get a kick off. That has gone 80 yards and then we knock

0:52:020:52:07

on, ten yards from our own line. We have missed a tackle. Good break,

0:52:070:52:12

but we're off the pace. We're that half a second bemiepdz. This guy is

0:52:120:52:18

electric, but he shouldn't be given that pace. Whitten will be

0:52:180:52:25

disappointed with the tackle. It will have been emphasised you must

0:52:250:52:32

take this guy down. Ulster didn't have a lot of ball. But when they

0:52:320:52:37

did, they seemed to make a lot of mistakes. It doesn't seem a

0:52:380:52:41

composed performance. We need our senior players stepping up and

0:52:410:52:45

taking the sting out of things. Some of our set piece functions

0:52:450:52:50

better. That is one of the best scrums in a fortnight. Burr we

0:52:500:52:56

can't afford those little errors. Swre worked lard to get into that -

0:52:560:52:59

- we have worked hard to get into that position and then turned it

0:52:590:53:04

off. One of the first guys back there was a prop. Look what happens

0:53:040:53:10

here. Look at the urgency to get to these rucks. The work rate off the

0:53:100:53:16

ball. Again a poor pass. We have lost 30 metres there and we're

0:53:160:53:25

kicking it away. Pad ji -- Paddy Jackson. I thought it was a good

0:53:250:53:29

option. He had the rate idea. He was trying to put it on a pin point

0:53:290:53:35

and it didn't happen. Are Ulster lacking a bit of leadership?

0:53:350:53:39

think so. We're missing direction as well. It might be an option to

0:53:390:53:43

move Whitten into inside centre and try and get him with the ball that

0:53:430:53:49

we have from a line out that is functioning well. Let's try and

0:53:490:53:52

shorten the targets and put something across the line and

0:53:520:53:58

create some banana at the minute, as you can see, if we have tried to

0:53:580:54:02

ball our accuracy hasn't been up to it. There will have to be a change.

0:54:020:54:06

You complained about a lack of physicalty, the one man who has

0:54:060:54:10

been physical is Spence, but unfortunately in the high tackle.

0:54:100:54:17

He didn't need to make this high tackle. You can use the touch line.

0:54:170:54:21

That is reckless. He needs to address that and he knows himself

0:54:210:54:30

that is crazy. He had the -- to line him up and take him into touch.

0:54:300:54:36

Ulster then paid the praise as you say teams do. They want to score

0:54:360:54:43

when the other team are down to 14. From the line out, possibly a bit

0:54:430:54:48

of naivety. We have kept everyone in there and you will see at the

0:54:480:54:53

ends, we're caught numbers down in the backs. On the far side of this

0:54:530:54:58

ruck. They make some reasonably ball here. Once and then twice.

0:54:580:55:03

We're putting guys, you can see them coming across. But there is

0:55:030:55:08

space there and threfr done it simply. It is a mismatch. The ball

0:55:080:55:16

in two hands, two guys stay out and Luke March hall has got two men on

0:55:160:55:22

him. -- Marshall. We have been critical of Ulster, but some credit

0:55:220:55:26

to the Dragons. Ulster are a man down and they have recycled the

0:55:260:55:31

ball quick. But it comes down to Ulster's physicalty, they have got

0:55:310:55:35

to step up to the plate. You have got to do than just make a tackle.

0:55:350:55:39

You have got to climb into the tackles. That is not happening and

0:55:390:55:45

it is having an effect through the team. Thank you. As we assess the

0:55:450:55:50

game, that is what Tulse coaching staff are doing. Technology now

0:55:500:55:55

three tackles. By pressing the button, each of the tackles will

0:57:000:57:05

button, each of the tackles will come up. It has a huge benefit in

0:57:050:57:08

terms of doing one-on-ones with the players and we can put together

0:57:080:57:16

information over a number of games. I spend more hours in the analysis

0:57:160:57:22

room than on the training pitch now. Just putting the hours in, it pace

0:57:220:57:29

dividends on the pitch. -- pays dividends. A great take by Tuohy.

0:57:290:57:33

The greatest development is we carry out live analysis and gate

0:57:330:57:39

feed during the game and we're in a position where we can review it and

0:57:390:57:43

you're trying to make interventions to the players u based on what is

0:57:430:57:47

and isn't happening on the pitch. It is different from last year,

0:57:470:57:55

when you were standing at the back and you were watching different

0:57:550:58:00

trends and now I'm able to do that by standing behind and then I can

0:58:000:58:06

look at the scrums and line outs on the monitors. So it is essential.

0:58:060:58:12

One aspect is the amount of work we do pre-game and where we focus on

0:58:120:58:17

the opposition. A couple of weeks ago with Cardiff, we have a centre

0:58:170:58:22

who likes to shoot out a line. He comes racing out of line. Our ehope

0:58:220:58:27

was to get the ball to Spence and he can drop to it Whitten. And Ian

0:58:270:58:35

got through the gap, he fed down to Cave and it was an important try.

0:58:350:58:40

You try to pick holes in what they do and when something like that

0:58:400:58:49

comes off it is a great feeling. wonder how Alex and the team are

0:58:490:58:58

assessing what has been a video nasty for Ulster? It it wouldn't be

0:58:580:59:03

great viewing, but it is interesting to see Dan Tuohy

0:59:030:59:07

spending time in the analysis room. Maybe they need to get on the pitch

0:59:070:59:11

and do more work. You said it not me. They need a big second half

0:59:110:59:16

response to prove a point or two? Yes and yes they can. But they have

0:59:160:59:22

to change the way they're playing, I could see two or three early

0:59:220:59:30

changes. Possibly Marshall dropping out of back line and try and punch

0:59:300:59:40
0:59:400:59:42

some holes and get our forwards The talk about the simple game.

0:59:420:59:46

Last season, Ulster played in territory and kept things simple.

0:59:460:59:52

Is that key? We are trying to play a lot of rugby and that has not

0:59:520:59:56

functioned well particularly well. They should never go after some

0:59:561:00:01

more of those. Start again. We have seen them playing rugby in the

1:00:011:00:04

middle of the park and the not getting any flow. They don't have

1:00:041:00:09

to run with the ball every single time they get it? The key is

1:00:091:00:14

holding on to it, going through the phases, whenever you can find a

1:00:141:00:19

whole, get the penalty and the referee has been very sharp around

1:00:191:00:25

the breakdown. The Dragons suffered initially and Ulster have picked up

1:00:251:00:30

the worst end of what is going on. Thank you both. Back to the

1:00:301:00:40
1:00:401:00:46

Jackson. Paul Marshall has given that a huge one up. Well covered by

1:00:461:00:56
1:00:561:00:58

Jason Tovey. -- one up. Paul Marshall. He gets away from the

1:00:581:01:05

Dragons try-scorer, Tom Riley. Marshall. Well covered by Martyn

1:01:051:01:15
1:01:151:01:18

Thomas. Gilroy. That is a rare kick from him. The that bounced Handley

1:01:181:01:28
1:01:281:01:28

for the Dragons. Here comes Thomas. Ian Whitten. Did not quite make

1:01:281:01:34

contact but that isn't too bad. Well covered by Andrew Coombs. All

1:01:341:01:39

the time in the world and nobody being put under any pressure. Gets

1:01:391:01:46

that forward. The referee playing advantage and can the Dragons take

1:01:461:01:52

advantage? They have extra men moving. That is good support play.

1:01:521:01:57

Tonderai Chavhanga. The referee still playing advantage? Knocked

1:01:571:02:07

forward by the Dragons. Chris Henry. There was a let-off there for the

1:02:071:02:17
1:02:171:02:18

men in white. Well covered by Jason Tovey. No deal row. Jason Tovey,

1:02:181:02:26

tiptoes into touch. A date has been high tempo than there have been a

1:02:261:02:29

lot of errors but that has played into that nature we have seen

1:02:291:02:34

throughout. And that thing continues into the second half.

1:02:341:02:40

Real opportunities for the Dragons earlier on. Lovely, round that

1:02:401:02:49

corner past. Excellent work to recover. 4th Ulster have cut the

1:02:491:02:54

line-out to just five men. Marshall. Jackson does well. Luke Marshall

1:02:541:03:00

breaks away. He needs some help, quickly. Looking for Henry. The

1:03:001:03:10
1:03:101:03:13

skipper off loads. Nevin Spence gets up again. Penny Jackson. Lewis

1:03:131:03:20

Stephenson. Good position from Ulster, just between the Dragons

1:03:201:03:30
1:03:301:03:30

posts. Jackson, Adam D'Arcy. He ran into a raft of black jerseys.

1:03:301:03:40
1:03:401:03:41

Pedrie Wannenburg. Slides away from the opening tackle. Jackson. Again,

1:03:411:03:46

the Dragons defence is pretty good. Also need that line breaker. Here

1:03:461:03:56

comes Pedrie Wannenburg. Marshall, again. Patrick Jackson. Ian Whitten.

1:03:561:04:06
1:04:061:04:10

Good strength. He stood up to that was Nevin Spence, he gives away the

1:04:101:04:16

penalty. And a very good Ulster attack. And a very good position

1:04:161:04:23

given away. Just when it looked like Ulster were starting to

1:04:231:04:27

develop, making inroads, and all it takes is to be caught slightly

1:04:271:04:30

upright in the tackle and lose that collision and the defensive team

1:04:301:04:40
1:04:401:04:49

gets it. Marshall just could not Henry, he needed somebody quicker

1:04:491:04:59
1:04:591:04:59

on the outside. The Dragons won their own line-out. The other four

1:05:001:05:08

are in the middle, grafting away. Jason Tovey, in position. Yes. Well

1:05:081:05:14

taken by Adam D'Arcy. At a glance... Good offload. Was that knocked

1:05:141:05:22

forward? Dear, dear, dear. How many little, silly errors have Ulster

1:05:221:05:27

considered? Just handling errors, it does not let them develop their

1:05:271:05:31

patterns at crucial times. The Dragons have come out with that

1:05:311:05:37

your plan and they're not playing any rugby in their own half. They

1:05:371:05:42

are looking to play this second half deep into Ulster territory.

1:05:421:05:52
1:05:521:06:04

Neil Patterson, a former air the second half. Fitzpatrick, the

1:06:041:06:10

culprit. This could make it a very tough evening. If Jason Tovey

1:06:101:06:14

continues to be on target. reason to believe he will not be.

1:06:151:06:21

Some distance in this. But he has looked very good and it takes that

1:06:211:06:28

margin out. It makes it a difficult proposition for Ulster. Jason Tovey.

1:06:281:06:37

Four penalties and one conversion already. 19 points. He broke Ulster

1:06:371:06:40

hearts in 2009 when he landed a hat-trick in this very ground in

1:06:401:06:47

awful conditions. The conditions tonight are simply perfect. For

1:06:471:06:57
1:06:571:06:58

running and kicking. And he has got that one. Well, Ulster have a lot

1:06:581:07:08
1:07:081:07:09

to do. If any bonus point will be achieved. 22 - 64 the Dragons. And

1:07:091:07:13

all but five of those courtesy of Jason Tovey. Paul Marshall has gone

1:07:131:07:23
1:07:231:07:41

off the field. Ian Porter has come opportunity for Ulster. Important

1:07:411:07:46

that they lead with some points. Very few incursions into the half

1:07:461:07:49

of the Dragons and it is crucial that they convert this territory

1:07:491:07:57

into points. So straight into action. Adam Macklin. And also Ian

1:07:581:08:02

Porter, formerly of Queen's University. Not too many chances to

1:08:031:08:08

shine when they were not Ulster. Paul Marshall used to dominate at

1:08:081:08:18

No. 9 jersey. For going in against Nathan Williams. Good position, got

1:08:181:08:26

that right, Paul Tergat sat away nicely. Patrick Jackson. Pedrie

1:08:261:08:31

Wannenburg. Crashes into the defence. The Dragons slowly get out

1:08:311:08:36

of the way. Well picked up by Declan Fitzpatrick under difficult

1:08:361:08:46
1:08:461:08:48

circumstances. Ian Porter, quicker ball. Luke Marshall. Chris Henry,

1:08:481:08:58
1:08:581:08:59

the captain. Slow ball. Well taken by Patrick Jackson, nearly got away.

1:08:591:09:07

Good support play from the centres. Better continuity from Ulster. Here

1:09:081:09:17

is Ian Porter, Pedrie Wannenburg. Across 22. Good pass again. Patrick

1:09:171:09:27

Jackson, very nearly squeezed through. Ian Porter. Adam Macklin.

1:09:271:09:32

The Ulster scrum. Ulster are going through multiple phases I'm looking

1:09:321:09:36

for some opportunities to break this defence down. Pedrie

1:09:361:09:42

Wannenburg very prominent. Making some worthy in roads. They will

1:09:421:09:45

have to work hard to break the Strachan's defence but they are in

1:09:451:09:55
1:09:551:09:59

the right part of the pitch. It is up to the experienced players in

1:09:591:10:03

the Ulster team and there isn't a lot of the than to step forward and

1:10:031:10:07

take control of this. The likes of Pedrie Wannenburg and Chris Henry.

1:10:071:10:17
1:10:171:10:20

Dan Tuohy, Nigel Brady. To really galvanise this Ulster team.

1:10:201:10:28

Willis, he won his first cap way back into 1002. He has enjoyed his

1:10:281:10:38
1:10:381:10:38

time here. When he has not been injured, he has enjoyed his time.

1:10:391:10:43

This man has not been given any reason whatsoever. Tonderai

1:10:431:10:53
1:10:531:11:18

Chavhanga. The Ospreys are leading at the scrum. Much better than a

1:11:181:11:25

week ago when Ulster got mangled by the Ospreys. Ulster have split the

1:11:251:11:35
1:11:351:11:50

easy an option and it gives three points. Ulster will have to score

1:11:501:11:57

more but this isn't a bad place to start. Tim Barker warming up on the

1:11:571:12:01

sidelines, he will be introduced shortly. Trying to introduce the

1:12:011:12:05

fresh reserves to try to change the nature of the game, which has so

1:12:051:12:11

far going against them. Patrick Jackson with both of those first

1:12:111:12:19

half penalties for Ulster. If he gets this one and a couple of tries,

1:12:201:12:24

he could win for Ulster. Or maybe we're becoming a little bit

1:12:241:12:33

ambitious! That was a confident kick from Patrick Jackson. Ulster

1:12:331:12:38

up to 89 points and the Dragons on 22. 13 between them. Tim Barker is

1:12:381:12:48
1:12:481:12:50

coming on. The Dragons have made a change. Phil Price, No. 17, has

1:12:501:13:00
1:13:001:13:03

come on. And the vastly experienced Tim Barker, son for his 61st Ulster

1:13:031:13:06

appearance and his 86th league appearance. He had a few for

1:13:061:13:16
1:13:161:13:26

Glasgow. That was confident front little bit. Well taken by Thomas.

1:13:261:13:36
1:13:361:14:05

Dragons inside the Ulster half. the penalty given away. The Jason

1:14:051:14:09

Tovey will look to go deep with this. How the Dragons sort of their

1:14:091:14:14

line-out? A lot of intelligent play to the first half when they

1:14:141:14:17

repeatedly tapped the ball back as Ulster players were pouring through.

1:14:171:14:24

We are looking from -- for more security from them. That was a good

1:14:241:14:30

kick. The tight-head prop, Nathan Buck, in just his second start for

1:14:301:14:40
1:14:401:15:18

Ulster tackles and Ulster gets the penalty and they will be relieved

1:15:181:15:26

by that. Holding on in the tackle by Poole. A former cage fighter.

1:15:261:15:36

Played over 70 times at for the local club. Ulster flooding back in

1:15:361:15:40

numbers to try and put out that break. Henry got his hands on the

1:15:401:15:45

ball and wasn't going to let go. Hearts in their mouths for moment.

1:15:451:15:53

A great line and Henry affects the tackle. An excellent piece of back

1:15:531:15:59

row play. Staid on his feet and grafted away. Did well. And Paddy

1:15:591:16:09

Jackson has put in an excellent kick from well inside his 22 to the

1:16:091:16:13

Dragons' 22-line. 26 minutes of this half remaining. Tkwrouv hang

1:16:131:16:21

on, there is a problem -- you have to hack on - hang on, there is a

1:16:211:16:31
1:16:311:16:34

problem with the communication with the assistant referee. That does

1:16:341:16:39

not seem to be working. They may have to get a replacement to avoid

1:16:391:16:49
1:16:491:16:58

this game being held up any longer. Neil Patterson's dad, John, who

1:16:581:17:05

have known for many years, was a more than decent full back and won

1:17:051:17:11

the old Ulster senior league back in the 70s. Played with people like

1:17:111:17:21
1:17:211:17:37

Joe McKinney. The brother of from Menary. Porter quickly in

1:17:371:17:47
1:17:471:18:04

again. Made quite an impact in this awkward pass. Fitzpatrick has taken

1:18:041:18:14
1:18:141:18:16

off his head gear. Well gathered BIFA loon. He had to stretch for it

1:18:161:18:25

-- well gathered by Faloon. A penalty for Ulster for crossing.

1:18:251:18:34

Well Bryan McLaughlin and company will be encouraged by that play.

1:18:341:18:40

Porter spots the gap, he is looking for a player and Henry does that

1:18:401:18:46

well. And then it is overenthusiasm in getting too many bodies around

1:18:461:18:53

the corn hear the created the crossing penalty./- around the

1:18:531:19:00

corner, that created the crossing penalty. Luke Marshall got a bit in

1:19:001:19:10
1:19:101:19:11

front of the ball I think. Another replacement coming on for the

1:19:111:19:19

Dragons. There is Luke Marshall, another who is only 206789 Evans

1:19:191:19:29
1:19:291:19:33

has gone on. And wearing 20 is Groves. Ulster will make a change.

1:19:331:19:43
1:19:431:19:56

Faloon will go off and Diack is on his opposite number. That should

1:19:561:20:01

be an Ulster line out. Excellent defence from Gilroy. Showed the man

1:20:011:20:06

the outside and then the power that we're used to seeing in his

1:20:061:20:10

attacking runs, translating into his defensive duties. Just over a

1:20:101:20:20

quarter of the game remaining, but Ulster needs points. Well taken,

1:20:201:20:29

the referee had a long look and decided he did not pass it forward.

1:20:301:20:39
1:20:401:21:02

row. Thomas wisely lets it drift into his 22 and what a good kick

1:21:021:21:09

that is. But hasn't found his touch. It is a mess by Porter. Darcy

1:21:091:21:15

better be careful. Ulster just about got away with that. Tuohy has

1:21:151:21:24

cleaned it up. The Dragons have a man down injured, Paddy Jackson

1:21:241:21:29

dean -- deep inside his 22. He can't kick it directly into touch

1:21:291:21:36

though. They have to be wary about staying onside. The game has broken

1:21:361:21:46
1:21:461:21:46

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

1:21:461:22:30

Henry, did he come through gate? Wannenburg told to release and he

1:22:301:22:40
1:22:401:22:49

looked to his touch judge, who said it wasn't forward. I thought it was

1:22:491:22:59
1:22:591:23:01

a nudge forward. The crowd do not like Mr Patterson's decision,

1:23:011:23:07

holding on in the tackle. Dragons lacking dangerous again,

1:23:071:23:10

going through multiple phases. There is something on that ball,

1:23:101:23:17

whether it is the due or the per spaigswiegs -- per spiration from

1:23:171:23:25

the players. Jackson finds his touch. 20 minutes remaining and 13

1:23:251:23:35
1:23:351:23:35

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

1:23:351:24:27

points between them. This is Willis, Darcy has made decent ground. The

1:24:271:24:31

Dragons looking for a turn over and they have got it. A kick through by

1:24:311:24:39

Ulster. The ball was out. The referee said there was an Ulster

1:24:391:24:45

knock forward. That finishing touch is not there. You have seen an

1:24:451:24:49

increase in the energy levels. You see Chavhanga getting the head in

1:24:491:24:55

the wrong position and falling badly after that, one suspects he

1:24:551:25:02

may have got a bad p knock to the Ed. -- bad knock to the head. I am

1:25:021:25:09

not sure sure if he will take much of a further part. In boxing terms,

1:25:101:25:19

he may be taking a standing eight count. He ran into the solid Derry

1:25:191:25:25

air of Luke Marshall! A couple of more changes for the Dragons.

1:25:251:25:33

Buckley is coming on to replace the skipper, Tom Willis. No 21 Joe

1:25:331:25:43
1:25:431:26:05

Ulster will feel if they can get next on the score board that they

1:26:051:26:10

will still be in with an opportunity to win. For the Dragons,

1:26:101:26:13

if they can score, they will developed a cushion to take them

1:26:131:26:18

through. The next score crucial in determining the outcome of this

1:26:181:26:25

game. Just six points scored in this second half. Three apiece. A

1:26:251:26:30

penalty by Tovey and a penalty by Jackson. But crucially the opening

1:26:301:26:35

40 minutes saw the Dragons lead by 19-6. At the moment Ulster have a

1:26:351:26:41

bit to do even to come away with a losing bonus point. They paid

1:26:411:26:51
1:26:511:27:15

heavily for that period where they referee. The Dragons piling in, if

1:27:161:27:19

they can turn it over. They have done better. They have got a

1:27:191:27:24

penalty. This could be end game for Ulster. Excellent work by Chavhanga,

1:27:241:27:31

chasing that kick and then it was the Dragons arriving in numbers

1:27:311:27:41
1:27:411:27:43

that forced Ulster to infringe and a penalty awarded. I wonder what he

1:27:431:27:50

will make of his Dragons day but a? The drargons claiming that space

1:27:501:28:00
1:28:001:28:13

and getting -- Dragons claiming And he has done! Came off the posts.

1:28:131:28:21

Ulster still have a bit to do to get this away. Darcy does just that.

1:28:211:28:28

So it stays at Dragons 22, Ulster 9, 16 minutes remaining and Tovey very

1:28:281:28:38
1:28:381:29:00

close inseed. Just shaved the trying to create another penalty

1:29:001:29:07

situation if they can. Ulster have to be careful. Buckley is having a

1:29:071:29:14

glance to see what he can do. Only 22 years of age. And with World

1:29:151:29:20

Cups and injuries, both sides calling on the depths of their

1:29:201:29:30
1:29:301:29:39

squads. Bedford asking for runners. A penalty against the Dragons.

1:29:391:29:46

Dragons unable to get the Ulster players away from those fringing

1:29:461:29:50

positions and Wannenburg stepped forward and claimed the ball. It is

1:29:501:29:54

important now they can get depth in the kick. The game is still in the

1:29:541:30:00

balance. Ulster have still got plenty of time to manufacture a

1:30:001:30:10
1:30:101:30:14

winner. Ulster have taken off Darcy and Gaston is coming on. The

1:30:141:30:21

Dragons are bringing on somebody called O'Driscoll. But it is

1:30:211:30:25

Geraint O'Driscoll. The other one, Brian, is playing for Ireland in a

1:30:251:30:30

crucial world cup game in the early hours of Sunday morning against

1:30:301:30:35

Italy to determine the outcome of that pool. Only an Irish win will

1:30:351:30:45
1:30:451:31:02

Dragons. Thomas is going off. No. 19, Darren Waters, coming on. Don't

1:31:021:31:12
1:31:121:31:19

you just love the last 15 minutes at any game of modern rugby?! It

1:31:191:31:26

Kieron Jenkins not at fault. I did not even see him come on. I don't

1:31:261:31:35

think he has. A a real opportunity for Ulster. Ian Porter and Patrick

1:31:351:31:45
1:31:451:31:51

Jackson discussing what move they will take from the playbook. Some

1:31:511:31:58

nonsense from the Ulster tight-head side of the scrum. The Adam Macklin

1:31:581:32:08
1:32:081:32:16

this done quickly. The right strike. It they have only got Craig Gilroy

1:32:161:32:26
1:32:261:32:33

Porter, Jackson, straight through. He just threw that, Willie Daly.

1:32:331:32:39

And nor composure and Ulster should have been for the try. We certainly

1:32:391:32:44

got that flat ball. It looked like he was maybe hit just as he went to

1:32:441:32:52

make the tackle. And the ball flying at the back. It ruins

1:32:521:32:57

Ulster's ambitions of an away win. The scrum was excellent and the

1:32:571:33:02

pass was not bad and the initial break was good. It was just too

1:33:021:33:12
1:33:121:33:21

getting a little attention. He has really been central. He has given

1:33:211:33:24

field position through his kicking and most importantly, he has put

1:33:251:33:34
1:33:351:33:47

over a lot of penalties and Matthew Jones on the bench, the

1:33:471:33:51

former Welsh international. He could cover the gap. He has enjoyed

1:33:511:34:01
1:34:011:34:04

himself. He has had some excellent games against Ulster. Sending Nevin

1:34:041:34:12

Spence directly down that Channel to see how well he is. Jackson. Has

1:34:121:34:18

to readjust that pass. Nobody really to his left, Ian Porter. And

1:34:181:34:28
1:34:281:34:32

he noticed that. Taken all about Dan Tuohy. Luke Marshall. One hand

1:34:321:34:38

it, by Declan Fitzpatrick. Spots the gap. Nicely offloaded. Nigel

1:34:381:34:43

Brady. That was a good step from the 32 year-old hooker. Here is

1:34:431:34:50

Jackson. Surely they must score? And into the corner! The referee

1:34:501:35:00
1:35:001:35:03

might go upstairs. I think he is going to go to Neil Ballard. Ian

1:35:031:35:12

Whitten thought he was in. The his feet were off the ground. That

1:35:121:35:19

there is a foot in touch. I think that his toe was untouched. Some

1:35:191:35:23

excellent defensive work. Just managing to hold on to the foot.

1:35:231:35:31

You cannot really see it from this angle. Was there any pressure down

1:35:311:35:39

this angle? Nothing. There were some replays earlier. The grounding

1:35:391:35:49
1:35:491:35:50

was good but the FT might have been in touch. Was that toll in touch?

1:35:501:35:59

What will he in part to Ian Pattison? It looks like he was in

1:35:591:36:07

touch. It could be the line-out for the Dragons. Five metres from the

1:36:071:36:17

line and Ulster can put pressure. He was in touch. It OK. No try.

1:36:171:36:27
1:36:271:36:32

food was in touch. Well... Hit of his toe. Bolstered desperate to

1:36:321:36:42

salvage something from this game. - - Ulster. Very untidy. Free-kick

1:36:421:36:50

against Ulster. He Ulster really needed to leave this field position

1:36:501:36:56

with some points. It to have any chance of any ambition for the away

1:36:561:37:02

win. They did not have the precision, the accuracy or the

1:37:021:37:06

tactics to overcome this very spirited Dragons performance.

1:37:061:37:12

Especially that man, Jason Tovey. He is struggling. But he is

1:37:121:37:16

enjoying himself and still controlling this game. The Ulster

1:37:161:37:25

moved the ball wide. It was a free- kick. The Dragons have kicked it

1:37:251:37:33

into touch and it is an Ulster line-out. Jackson. Nevin Spence.

1:37:331:37:42

Ashley Smith. Here comes Patrick Jackson. Good strength. Declan

1:37:421:37:47

Fitzpatrick, cleans out. He got himself caught by the Dragons

1:37:471:37:54

replacement prop, Neil Price. Still there, for Ulster. Knowing that Ian

1:37:541:38:04
1:38:041:38:06

Porter is in there. And Ulster give away possession to the Dragons. And

1:38:061:38:10

there is another Dragon's Eye player down injured. Ashley Smith

1:38:101:38:16

put in that very strong tackle. That was a great tackle. He got his

1:38:161:38:20

head not many in the right place but he broke down Nevin Spence.

1:38:201:38:25

This comes at such pace and debt. He gets across the advantage line

1:38:251:38:29

and that allows Ulster the platform to redevelop their play. There has

1:38:291:38:35

been a noticeable increase in the increase in enthusiasm and energy

1:38:351:38:39

from Ulster and at crucial parts of the pitch, they have turned over

1:38:391:38:42

possession but have not been able to get that score to get them back

1:38:421:38:48

into the game. It has been stopped to allow everyone and much-needed

1:38:481:38:56

breather. Just over 10 minutes remaining. Ulster, 14 points adrift.

1:38:561:39:04

A penalty would allow them the try. And the conversion. To get that

1:39:041:39:12

losing bonus point. It has been a much better second half from Ulster

1:39:121:39:15

in terms of possession and how they had used the ball. They just have

1:39:151:39:20

not been able to get that quick through. I think it was the

1:39:201:39:28

penalties in the first half that really work their undoing. And the

1:39:281:39:36

Dragons set up at that form. Ulster were led in no small part by the

1:39:361:39:40

substitutes in the second half but they have been unable to get that

1:39:401:39:46

crucial score. And establish field position to let them go on.

1:39:461:39:53

Ashley Smith is off the field and Matthew Jones, he will go into full

1:39:531:40:03
1:40:031:40:12

Coombs. They will want to play sensible percentage rugby at this

1:40:121:40:22
1:40:221:40:29

to do that but it has worked out very nicely. Looking to close this

1:40:291:40:34

game out. Still 10 minutes on the clock. They wanted a percentage

1:40:341:40:39

rugby, they will not take any chances in their own half. They can

1:40:391:40:44

see that clock ticking away. will be a case of Ulster going back

1:40:441:40:48

to the bad old days against Wales. With nothing to show for their

1:40:481:40:58
1:40:581:41:25

opening fixtures away to Munster and Leinster. Their glad to be back

1:41:251:41:29

home and to have this opportunity to put some points on the board.

1:41:291:41:36

Such a lot of effort and money. To get this ground up to scratch. And

1:41:361:41:46

it really is a nice little ground. Some of these modern stadiums are a

1:41:461:41:53

little bit soulless. If you look at the Dragons players in that of

1:41:541:41:58

Jersey performing outstandingly in New Zealand. They are on long-term

1:41:581:42:07

contracts. He Dan Lydiate, Chalmers, on a sudden you and that new to us

1:42:071:42:13

and the Dragons are starting to go somewhere. At the moment they are

1:42:141:42:20

heading for their four. Win. The try was scored by the Dragons when

1:42:201:42:30
1:42:301:42:31

Ulster were down to 14 men. A lot of tight forwards filtering away to

1:42:311:42:41

the right hand side. Alan Jones takes the forward. Jason Tovey.

1:42:411:42:46

Again, from position, that was a clever kick. Well taken by Conor

1:42:461:42:56
1:42:561:42:56

Gaston. His first competitive game of the season. Ian Porter. Patrick

1:42:561:43:06

Jackson. Matthew Jones, no problems with that one. He has found some

1:43:061:43:15

space, that was a clever kick. Well covered by Craig Gilroy. From a

1:43:151:43:19

narrow angle, that was not a bad kick but it will be the Dragons

1:43:191:43:29
1:43:291:43:29

line-out. Six minutes to go. Dragons really looking to chose

1:43:291:43:34

this game out. They set up their top four in the first half but that

1:43:341:43:38

energy and now they're looking to grind down this result and climb up

1:43:381:43:45

the board in the closing phases of this first six games. Taken by

1:43:451:43:55
1:43:551:43:58

Andrew Coombs. The Dragons with all five replacements on the field.

1:43:581:44:08
1:44:081:44:10

Ulster forcing them backwards. Jason Tovey might well be the Man

1:44:101:44:15

of the Match, which will be of no great surprise to anybody. He

1:44:151:44:20

scored five of the points for the Dragons. And the Dragons keep

1:44:201:44:26

motoring along. Brady has to do some defending for Ulster. The

1:44:261:44:30

dragons are finishing with a flourish. It has been a terrific

1:44:301:44:39

evening. Bedford but that plans to his left. -- with that glance to

1:44:391:44:48

his left. He decides to go to Kieron Jenkins. Ulster are close to

1:44:481:44:56

giving away another penalty. Jason Tovey trying to set it up. They go

1:44:561:45:01

for one more piece of good field position. And Ulster fumble but

1:45:011:45:07

they do get it away. Here is Jackson. Marshall, intercepted. And

1:45:071:45:11

they come back with that knock forward and that really could have

1:45:111:45:19

been a very good try. Ulster left with no other option but to start

1:45:191:45:24

throwing those speculative passes, even into their own territory. They

1:45:241:45:28

have to look to throw this passes at this stage of the game. The

1:45:281:45:38
1:45:381:45:43

crowd would have gone mad had he think Macklin might be injured.

1:45:431:45:50

That is the last thing Ulster need. I am not sure what the situation is

1:45:501:45:57

with recent signing, Calum Black. Kyle McCall included on the bench

1:45:581:46:05

after some impressive performances in the Under-20 jersey. I'm sure me

1:46:051:46:13

would be keen to get a first cap. At 19, not many forwards make that

1:46:131:46:22

step up. But he is still on the bench. The referee saying to the

1:46:221:46:27

water boys, you and your water leave the field, please. The clock

1:46:271:46:31

starts again. Four minutes remaining and Ulster need a

1:46:311:46:36

converted try to get a losing bonus point. They have have to run it

1:46:361:46:46
1:46:461:46:54

from here. A good start with the opposite number, Geraint O'Driscoll.

1:46:541:47:04
1:47:041:47:20

Dragons' hand didn't touch that. I wonder how he has enjoyed this? A

1:47:201:47:27

bit of a change from playing it in New Lands. Not the crowd, but the

1:47:271:47:33

weather is probably better. Great conditions for rung rugby. The ball

1:47:331:47:38

was knocked forward, the referee is playing advantage to Ulster.

1:47:381:47:48
1:47:481:47:51

Wannenburg sets it up. A great tackle by the Dragons' try scorer,

1:47:511:48:01
1:48:011:48:05

Tom Riley. Good work by Tuohy. This is better. Menary with an awful

1:48:051:48:15
1:48:151:48:17

pass. -- Menary with an awful pass. Nothing Henry could do about that.

1:48:171:48:21

And dragons' put in. The accuracy in the Ulster back line play has

1:48:211:48:25

let them down on a couple of occasions and making it difficult

1:48:251:48:31

for the ball receiver. The Dragons have been good defensively and they

1:48:311:48:35

have crowded the midfield. A couple of clean line breaks from Ulster,

1:48:351:48:40

but unable to convert them into tries and turning over possession

1:48:401:48:46

in crucial parts has undone their cause. We haven't heard a score

1:48:461:48:53

since about 11 minutes into the second half. 19-6 at half time. 22-

1:48:531:49:03
1:49:031:49:29

9 as it stands. And a minute and a and Leeds. And this may well be the

1:49:291:49:39
1:49:391:50:00

last set piece of the game. Another the Dragons have to do is keep it

1:50:001:50:07

tight and then Jason Tovey will pop it into touch. Knocked forward by

1:50:071:50:17
1:50:171:50:41

this for Ulster? Well picked up by Jackson. Will he do it again.

1:50:411:50:48

Jackson, not Kuwait. Can he make it available? -- not quite. Can he

1:50:481:50:55

make it available? Not Kuwait. That is game over. -- not quite. That is

1:50:551:51:01

game over. Ulster have come away from Wales for the sec time in a

1:51:011:51:09

week with nothing to show for their efforts. Too high, the penalty

1:51:091:51:19
1:51:191:51:19

count, and too many errors for Bryan McGlock whrin's liking. --

1:51:191:51:27

McLaughlin's liking. It is welcome to Wales for the south African

1:51:271:51:33

speedster, Tonderai Chavhanga. But not for Ulster. They have gone down

1:51:331:51:43
1:51:431:51:48

Well a disappointing night for Ulster. Too many mistakes and not

1:51:481:51:51

enough composure. Paddy Jackson did keep Ulster in touch just about

1:51:511:51:56

with his boot. But Ulster left it all too late to mount a come back.

1:51:561:52:01

Ian Whitten almost sneaked in for a try, but it is two defeats in a row

1:52:011:52:11
1:52:111:52:16

for Ulster. 17 points from Tovey, Well it is a disappointing night

1:52:161:52:22

for Ulster? Very much so. This is not way they wanted to bounce back

1:52:221:52:29

from last week. It sums up the back -- bit of a lack of experience. We

1:52:291:52:32

have got to have some seasoned professionals there and tonight it

1:52:321:52:36

look like a team that didn't have that. A lot of young players in the

1:52:371:52:43

side for the coach and it told? we didn't really get any go forward

1:52:431:52:47

in the second half. We started positively and we will see there is

1:52:471:52:52

a great break from Marshall and some flat ball in the game line

1:52:521:53:01

with guys running on to the ball. But that Edinburghed away. -- ebbed

1:53:011:53:07

But that Edinburghed away. -- ebbed away. But a lovely line. But again

1:53:071:53:13

no real support there. Chris Henry, who played the pick of the Ulster

1:53:131:53:17

players again, first man on his shoulder, but we just made two or

1:53:181:53:23

three half breaks and weren't able to get any pace on it out wide.

1:53:231:53:28

when Ulster made good breaks, it all broke down and it all came to

1:53:281:53:33

nothing. That was the disappointing thing. Yes, it was a lack of

1:53:331:53:39

composure, those are loose passes. If it is a 50/50 pass, you

1:53:401:53:44

shouldn't be giving it. We have worked lard to get into position

1:53:441:53:48

and we throw that 50/50 pass. That is criminal at this lever. If you

1:53:481:53:55

don't have ball, you can't build pressure. The coach talked about

1:53:551:53:59

the number of penalties that Ulster gave away last week. He will be

1:53:591:54:04

watching this game back and saying the amount of errors they made was

1:54:051:54:10

crazy. Well as well, a lot of it is self-inflicted, in terms of poor

1:54:101:54:16

passing, missing tackles and then knocking on. Simple things and

1:54:161:54:20

again once you get into the red zone, the opposition 22, you want

1:54:201:54:25

to be taking points out of that each time and we just didn't have

1:54:251:54:31

the compose tkwrour do that. will be interesting to see on

1:54:311:54:36

Mondays, will they have this video nasty that we're watch something

1:54:361:54:42

We're under pressure, giving away cheap penalties. It is just...

1:54:421:54:48

happens when clou start to clais the game and almost -- you start to

1:54:481:54:52

clais the game and almost panic setting in. Look at our energy to

1:54:521:54:56

get back to this ball and support that. Summed up the whole night.

1:54:561:55:02

There was a lack of energy and enthusiasm right the way through.

1:55:021:55:07

That will be the real disappointing part. Even with 20 minutes to go,

1:55:071:55:13

that was a game Ulster could have won if they have enough ball.

1:55:131:55:19

incidents was the turning point, yes, his foot was in touch, but it

1:55:191:55:26

is the first time we worked through three or four phases. Henry with a

1:55:261:55:30

lovely break. And then there is reasonably quick ball for one of

1:55:301:55:36

the few times. There is space out wide and Ian has finished it well,

1:55:361:55:40

but his toe has gone into touch. But if we had scored that, the game

1:55:401:55:45

could have flipped on its head. That is what we have become used to.

1:55:451:55:49

This is what we have come to, we have got a buzz about Ulster,

1:55:491:55:55

because this is what they're capable of. Where has it been? I

1:55:551:56:00

have hoped we moved forward. That was a glimpse of what we're capable

1:56:001:56:04

of. Why can't we row do that week in week out. The seat piece was

1:56:041:56:08

bete, scrum and line out. But when Ulster can't get control of the

1:56:081:56:13

ball, they can't get control of the ball. Why not tonight? Set piece

1:56:141:56:19

was good. In the second half maybe the line out fell apart with two or

1:56:191:56:29

three loose flows -- throws. But it goes back to composure. Having that

1:56:291:56:34

ability at nine and ten if you have the ball to make the right decision.

1:56:341:56:39

Both Ian Porter and Paddy Jackson are relatively inexperienced and it

1:56:391:56:45

shows the possibly the influence of a Piennar or an Ian Humphreys that

1:56:451:56:50

can change the shape of the game. They have had a few games like this

1:56:501:56:54

and this will help both of the guys in the future. But it is not a

1:56:541:57:00

situation where you want to be sorts of, these are games that we

1:57:001:57:06

targeted at the start of the year. We have got the Dragons away, we

1:57:061:57:13

fansy ourselves. And the Dragons have lost games. The Dragons'

1:57:131:57:19

changing room will be buzzing. They will be delighted. They are riddled

1:57:191:57:23

with injury and they have won. the only positive is a chance to

1:57:241:57:28

bounce back at home. Well you must win your home games. It will be

1:57:281:57:32

difficult to pick the guise up. Tonight was very flat. There was a

1:57:321:57:36

bit of ball in hand and we tried to up the pace in the last few minutes.

1:57:361:57:41

But we have to start with that intensity. The coaching staff have

1:57:411:57:47

a lot to do. But one thing is, for me it must come from within, the

1:57:471:57:54

team must bounce back. They have got to sit down, a bottle of how
