Jackson off target as Ulster beaten in Edinburgh

The Ireland out half will rue his missed penalties.

ULSTER CAME UP short in Edinburgh tonight in the RaboDirect Pro12.

The Scots’ new interim coaching duo of Steve Scott and Duncan Hodge made a winning start to their tenure with a 14-8 win over the Irish province.

A try by Stuart McInally plus two penalties by Piers Francis was enough to get the job done against an Ulster side for whom Andrew Trimble earned a try and Paddy Jackson struck a penalty.

The Ireland kicker had a bad night at the office however, missing three straightforward penalties early in the second period, which ultimately proved very costly.

The votes are in: Leigh Halfpenny claims 6 Nations award
