Shock defeat for Ulste
ULSTER suffered a surprise Guinness PRO14 defeat as they came unstuck 27-23 against Italian opponents Zebre at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.
Despite leading at the interval, Ulster conceded 21 second-half points and had to be content with a losing bonus point.
Zebre took an early lead through a Carlo Canna penalty, but Ulster responded with an Andrew Trimble try that John Cooney converted.
A second Canna strike narrowed the gap, but Ulster appeared to have breathing space by halftime as two Cooney penalties opened up a 136 advantage.
