And we're underway for the second half

Halftime 24-15 to the Scarlets. An action packed first half as five tries have been dotted down in what has been an extremely open match thus far. Very good attacking displays from both the hosts and Ulster, but each side need to tighten up in defence. Rustiness very much apparent as it is the opening game of the season for the sides. All to play for in the second half, stay with us for more live updates and match analysis.
