It could have been closer than a seven point defeat but when you consider Ulster's less than stellar showing in the first half against Leicester, a losing bonus point is certainly not the worst result possible. Two second half tries gave Ulster a fighting chance and if they can continue with the kind of rugby which saw Tommy Bowe cross in the 55th minute, they'll have a good chance of getting out of a tough group.
