Ulster 7-15 Bath

Darren Cave scores Ulster's try against Bath

Ulster lost 15-7 to Bath in their first pre-season friendly game at Ravenhill.

Two quick-fire tries in the first half did the damage, replacement wing Rhys Crane scoring both with Shaun Berne converting one.

Ulster pulled back a try shortly after the break, Darren Cave scoring and Clinton Schifcofske converting.

With the second half looking likely to remain scoreless, Robbie Kydd landed an injury-time penalty for the visitors to give them an eight-point win.
