FULL-TIME: Ulster were able to close out an important win in Italy this afternoon. After a sluggish start the away side grew into the game and were certainly on top at half time. After the interval the Irish province looked to continue the way they left off but Zebre gave them a tough test. Ulster will be disappointed with the themselves that they didn't push on for the bonus point. A strong Zebre side will be disappointed that they couldn't secure the losing bonus point at home against an injury stricken Ulster side. Impatient play and lack of composure in the final phases were the downfall of the home side who will need to pick themselves back up after this defeat. Thanks for staying with our coverage this afternoon!

MISSED PENALTY ULSTER: Jackson misses a rather straight-forward kick. His effort hits the outside of the posts and goes wide. An opportunity missed to extend his side's lead
