Try for Ulster after 32 minutes. Bowe breaks from his own half and chips, forcing the retreating Poolman to put the ball into touch 5 metres out from his own line. From the lineout Ulster set up a good driving maul which puts Best over the whitewash.

Ulster draw level, as the pace and intensity of the game refuses to let up. A scrappy phase of play ends with Connacht penalised for offside. 30 minutes gone.

Connacht take the lead through the boot of Parks. Again from the set piece, as a good driving maul is brought down by the Ulster pack. Connacht pack looking very aggressive at the scrum and maul. 25 minutes gone.

Woohoooo!

Another try in this helter skelter clash, this time straight from the set piece. A solid Connacht scrum allows Parks whip a long ball out to Duffy, who ships it on to Vainikolo to score in the corner. 20 minutes gone.

12 minutes gone and Ulster score again, what a start to the game! This time Trimble breaks out of his 22 and feeds the ball to Pienaar who brings the ball into the Connacht 22 before feigning to go inside and flipping the ball back outside to Trimble to finish the move.

10 minutes gone and Ulster take the lead as the high tempo to this game continues. A long pass from Cave on the Connacht 10 releases Payne initially, and some nice hands eventually release Olding to score.

Hope Connacht can pull this off.

7 minutes gone and Payne is taken out in the air retrieving the ball, and earns a penalty. Pienaar cant convert from distance.

Try for Connacht early in the game after only 3 minutes. Pienaar takes the ball from the back of the ruck and trys to run it from his own 22. Marmion catches him though, and a huge counter ruck turns the ball over. The ball is quickly moved wide for Naoupu to score.
