As the clock ticks towards HT Ulster are pinged for offside. Tovey opts for the posts but misses.

Too many errors Ulster!

The Ulster pack are really dominating up front after taking yet another scrum against the head!

A good passage of play from the Dragons sees some well worked interlinking between backs and forwards. Unfortunately a handling error sees the ball hit the deck after a handling error.

The Ulster 8 grounds the ball over the line after a powerful maul from the away pack.

Ulster turn the pressure on the Dragon's scrum and earn a penalty which Jackson makes easy work of.

Hello and welcome to todays coverage of the Rabo's season opener! Needless to say, today is a massive day for both sides! Having won the regular season last year Ulster will be serious contenders again this year no doubt! Newport on the other hand will look to improve on a poor 11th place finish this last season, having brought in Jones from London Welsh. Undoubtedly Ulster will fancy their chances tonight but who knows, season openers are renowned for being tricky! Especially on a cold night in Wales!
