Injuries to backs Michael Lowry, James Hume and Luke Marshall a concern after win over Edinburgh
The score went unconverted by John Cooney from a difficult angle, but he made no mistake with a 37th-minute penalty to put Ulster ahead for the first time.
Then in injury-time, Ulster won a scrum penalty and Cooney, from almost the same spot as his earlier penalty, secured the three points to give Ulster an 11-7 lead at half-time. The new half opened with Baloucoune having been replaced, but it was barely a minute old when Blair Kinghorn threw a gift of an intercept pass to Cooney who ran in from inside his own half. He converted his own score and Ulster now led 18-7.
They had to wait until the 65th-minute before scoring again, Nick Timoney wriggling over from close range just after lock Glen Young had been binned. Cooney made no mistake with the extras. Edinburgh’s’ Charlie Savala then had a score scrubbed out just before the visitors got 15 on the park again prompting WP Nel’s converted try.
