“We are disappointed and a little bit frustrated," he said.
"We had enough opportunities to build a bigger points total than we did.

"Ulster got the upper hand in the scrum but we had chances to win the game."

"Edinburgh Rugby has taken a positive step forward," Bradley added.
"There are areas we have to improve. There is young talent coming through and quality international players with a burning desire to win something.
"When you get to the latter stages of cup competitions it is about taking more chances than the opposition."
