Magners League review:Ulster moved into the play-off zone after seeing off Newport Gwent Dragons 25-23 for their fourth Magners League win in succession.

It was dramatic stuff as a last-minute drop goal from Ruan Pienaar sealed the win moments after a similar effort from Jason Tovey looked to have sealed it for the Dragons, who instead had to content themselves with a losing bonus point.

The home side seemed to have lost their grip on the game when trailing 17-10 at the hour mark but tries from subs Tommy Seymour and Darren Cave got them back in the game before Pienaar's dramatic winner.

Treviso battled throughout, snapping up tries from Michele Rizzo and Ludovico Nitoglia with number 10 Willem de Waal kicking two conversions and a penalty.
