Bourgoin 24-17 Ulster

Ulster failed to secure their first Heineken Cup win on French soil despite leading for most of Friday night's Pool Two match away to Bourgoin.

Three days after the departure of coach Mark McCall, Ulster made a strong start and tries by Kieron Dawson and Simon Danielli had them 17-9 up at half-time.

But they could not maintain their form, and poor tackling let Arnaud Tchougong and Jean-Francois Coux in for tries.

Ulster clung on for a losers' bonus point but are still bottom of the pool.

The Irish province, under the guidance of acting coach Steve Williams, had a great opening 30 minutes with those converted tries.

Ulster Rugby chief executive Michael Reid says "the net will be spread worldwide" in the search for a successor to coach Mark McCall.
"We won't be making a new appointment with undue haste but we will look to have someone in position as soon as practically possible," said Reid.

McCall's assistant Steve Williams will take temporary charge of the team until a permanent appointment is made.

Former Welsh coach Gareth Jenkins is thought to be interested in the job.
