And so the bandwagon rolls on!

Not too many teams (if any) will come away from Scotstoun with four points, so we've already taken a massive step towards the play offs at this early stage of the season. I know, I know, there's still a long long way to go, but there's no harm in doing all we can now to help ourselves down the line in April and May.

Don't forget, we're still unbeaten as well! Four games up, four wins recorded. With our policy of rotation in full swing, it means our squad is...

Spearheaded by Paddy Jackson, Ulster picked up their first ever Pro12 win at Scotstoun Stadium with a 22-17 triumph over the Glasgow Warriors.

Jackson scored a try and added seven points from the boot while Darren Cave and a penalty try accounted for the rest of Ulster's haul.

The returning Finn Russell kicked superbly for the hosts, who scored tries through Gordon Reid and in-form Tommy Seymour, but they couldn't deny their Irish visitors.

Jackson had something of a mixed start to the game as...

Time for our first big test of the season.

They were made to fight for it, but Ulster made it three wins from three in the Guinness PRO12 with a 19-8 win over the Scarlets at the Kingspan Stadium.

Returning fly-half Paddy Jackson pulled the strings with Louis Ludik and Iain Henderson scoring the tries, while a late Will Boyde try for the Scarlets threatened to make for an interesting finish.

Ulster were let off early when Rhys Patchell mishit a penalty from straight in front of the posts and Jackson made him pay by landing his first...
