TOMMY BOWE SCORED on his first start in almost four months as Ulster went back to the top of the Pro12 table in impressive fashion.
The Ireland winger opened the scoring at Ravenhill as Ulster ran in four tries and picked up the bonus point in a 31-5 win over the Newport Gwent Dragons.
Bowe, who injured his knee ligaments in December, went over in the corner after some fine work by Nick Williams and a burst of pace from Paul Marshall, who later scored a try of his own.
Man of the match Stuart Olding and Darren Cave also scored as Mark Anscombe’s men drew a line under last weekend’s Heineken Cup exit to Saracens.
Ruan Pienaar, playing at out-half in the absence of Paddy Jackson, kicked all four conversions and a drop goal.
The win moves Ulster back to the top of the Pro12 standings, four points ahead of the Glasgow Warriors who went down 29-6 against the Scarlets in Wales tonight.
