Overview

• Dragons scored after 12 seconds through Aaron Wainwright before Ulster surged to a four-try bonus point before half-time.
• Ulster’s try scorers were Cormac Izuchukwu, Nick Timoney, David McCann, Zac Ward, Nathan Doak and Tom Stewart, with Doak converting 5/5 and Jake Flannery adding the final kick.
• The hosts did not lead until around the 33rd minute and went close to 40 minutes between second-half scores, reflecting uneven momentum.
• Head coach Richie Murphy welcomed the maximum five-point start but said there is "plenty to work on" after conceding three tries.
• Former Northampton Saint Juarno Augustus debuted off the bench, and Ulster next travel to Edinburgh on 3 October.
