Pre-season feel to the game as sides sharpen up for season ahead.
IN THE VERY first game of rugby played on Ulster GAA grounds, Ulster beat Glasgow 19-14 in Cavan’s Kingspan Breffni Park.
The game was played with a definite feel of a pre-season friendly, Ulster Head Coach Dan McFarland having said prior that it mattered little who won the contest, but there was a definite feel of history in the air 16 years after Ireland hosted France in the 2007 Six Nations in Croke Park and opened up GAA premises to other sports.
After a mildly entertaining first half that brought four tries, the second half had one Glasgow try after a maul three minutes into the half.
