Benetton 31 Ulster 29
A LATE Rhyno Smith penalty saw Benetton move into the top five of the United Rugby Championship but for Ulster the problems keep coming.
After back-to-back wins against Zebre over the festive period, the Italians secured their fourth triumph in a row to climb above Munster.
Tomas Albornoz, Onisi Ratave (left) and Ignacio Brex crossed, with Ulster responding through Eric O'Sullivan, Rob Herring, Mike Lowry and a penalty try.
Ulster enjoyed the bulk of the play in the opening stages and were rewarded with O'Sullivan's second try for the province.
Quick ball through the backs saw No.8 Nick Timoney break through three tackles before he was stopped, the ball came back inside and O'Sullivan strolled through a gap in the backline.
