ULSTER CAME UP short in Edinburgh tonight in the RaboDirect Pro12.
The Scots’ new interim coaching duo of Steve Scott and Duncan Hodge made a winning start to their tenure with a 14-8 win over the Irish province.
A try by Stuart McInally plus two penalties by Piers Francis was enough to get the job done against an Ulster side for whom Andrew Trimble earned a try and Paddy Jackson struck a penalty.
The Ireland kicker had a bad night at the office however, missing three straightforward penalties early in the second period, which ultimately proved very costly.
