Sat 09 Sep 2007Ulster setbackEdinburgh 24 Ulster 10:Ulster tasted their first defeat in the current Celtic League, at Murrayfield last night. Their misery was compounded when lock Ryan Caldwell was shown a red card for stamping in a ruck late in the second half.Ulster had an early penalty attempt by outhalf Niall O'Connor but the long-range kick went just wide. Edinburgh showed flair with a score created by Nick de Luca's quickly taken throw-in. The fullback combined with winger Andrew Turnbull who found John Houston who crossed under the posts. Outhalf Phil Godman converted and then added the extra points to a penalty try awarded when Ulster prevented a score after Turnbull had been stopped on the line and Edinburgh led 14-0 at half-time.
