LOCK RYNARD Landman believes Newport Gwent Dragons showed their class with their wonder try at Ulster and hopes they keep chancing their arm from turnover ball.

The Dragons suffered last-gasp heartbreak at Kingspan Stadium when Paddy Jackson's 78th minute penalty snatched a 17-15 win.

The men from Rodney Parade produced a spirited defensive display but they also scored two cracking tries through centre Adam Hughes and full-back Carl Meyer.

The former's effort is a try of the season contender with 10 players involved in the move that featured a dazzling run by wing Ashton Hewitt, lovely handling by backs and forwards, a delicate grubber kick by Meyer and a classy finish by Hughes.

They profited from having a crack at Ulster from turnover ball rather than putting boot to ball, much to the delight of Landman.

"I think that (try) was the best one I've ever seen in a team I've played in, that was really class," said the South African, who sparked the move by moving the ball wide.

"From a turnover ball in our own half, we went through the phases and Ashton, I asked him after the game if he put Vaseline on because they were just slipping off him, then scoring in the corner.

"It was a really impressive try. I think in the last four weeks we've scored good tries from turnovers and that's what we aim to do"

The Dragons ultimately paid the penalty for a spell in the second half down to 13 men when lock Matthew Screech (dragging down a maul) and flanker Ben White (high tackle) were sent to the sin bin by World Cup final referee Nigel Owens.

However, their performance against the title hopefuls gave morale a boost ahead of another encounter with a contender for the play-offs with Connacht visiting Rodney Parade on Thursday (kick-off 7.30pm).

"One point for that effort is really gutting but that's rugby," said the Landman, who captained the side in Ireland in the absence of injured hooker Rhys Thomas.

"If we go in with a mental shift like that we can turn over anybody. At home on Thursday against Connacht, we'll definitely have a lot of positives out of the Ulster game and we'll just build on that."

"We scored a good try, one brilliant try, and we had them in the driving lineout but we weren't in their 22 a lot to build pressure, so we need to sort that out.

"If you play the game in the right areas and spend time down there, it'll actually get pressure into points."
