The final few minutes included a drop goal apiece, with the decisive, match winning kick slotted by Ruan Pienaar. /spanbr /br /Ulster moved to fourth on the Magners League table with the thrilling win courtesy of a dramatic finale as they snatched the win away from the Dragons, who themselves thought they’d pulled off the miracle late in the game.br /br /Darren Cave scored for Ulster with just four minutes left, before Jason Tovey of the Dragons looked to have won the game for the visitors with his 79th minute drop goal. Springbok Pienaar then delivered the goods for the home side, after a perfect platform had been laid by his hard working forwards.br /br /Pienaar, who won the game for Ulster with a a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcuJK4EkrC8"long range penalty a few weeks back/a against the Scarlets, was modest when asked about his contribution. He gave credit to the forwards and said he was blessed to be able to play with such good players around him.br /br /"I don't get many opportunities to drop goals and it wasn't the prettiest but at least it went over and we got the points. I just looked up and thankfully it went through the posts - it's a great result for us," Pienaar said.br /br /"Paul Marshall reminded me that we could go for a drop goal so I have to give the credit to him and we showed a lot of character at the end."br /br /This video shows the tries earlier in the match, as well as the last few minutes from what was an incredible, frantic finish to a rugby match. There’s also a short interview with Man of the Match Pienaar from directly after the game.br /br /centerobject width="400" height="288"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/409gpuvwOzk?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/409gpuvwOzk?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="288"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span06:05/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-7010900088218590614?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DrOZOolgGcS_Si7Hf3P6NHQVXrU/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DrOZOolgGcS_Si7Hf3P6NHQVXrU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DrOZOolgGcS_Si7Hf3P6NHQVXrU/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DrOZOolgGcS_Si7Hf3P6NHQVXrU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=brLH2QHSQ2c:XzhOF9ZSb2E:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/brLH2QHSQ2c" height="1" width="1"/ More...
