All three games in the Magners League ended in dramatic draws on Friday night.
Ulster fought back from 6-0 down to snatch a 16-16 draw against local rivals Leinster at Ravenhill.
Fly-half David Humphreys made the difference with nine points including a conversion and a penalty in injury time, after David Trimble had earlier touched down.
Leinster dominated the first half and led 6-0 at the break thanks to two Jonathan Sexton penalties.
Gordon D'Arcy's try put the visitors further ahead before Ulster battled back.
The result sees Ulster remain rock-bottom on five points while Leinster close the gap on fourth placed Newport-Gwent to a point.
Elsewhere, Glasgow drew 11-11 against Munster at Firhill Stadium.
The Warriors, who led 8-6 at the break, scored a try through Lome Fa'atau while Dan Parks kicked two penalties.
Munster touched down through Lifeimi Mafi while Paul Warwick booted over two penalties.
Elsewhere, Connacht fought back from six points down to draw 14-14 against Edinburgh at the Sportsground.
Tries from Ross Rennie and Nick De Luca, both converted from debutant David Blair, gave the visitors a 14-8 lead.
But three penalties from Tim Donnelly after Robbie Morris had earlier crashed over earned the home side a crucial point.
The result sees the west Ireland province stay a point clear of bottom-side Munster while Edinburgh stay in eighth place.
