A massive aerial bomb attempts to put Ludik under pressure but a poor chase affords the full back plenty of time to gather and call for the mark.

Paddy Jackson makes no mistake on the 2nd time of asking. 15minutes gone, 3 points all.

Jackson misses the chance to level the game when referee John Lacey brings play back for a penalty after Muldoon is caught offside

As the rain begins to pour both sides look to put boot to ball and force an error in opposition territory. Hopefully the poor conditions won't have too much of an influence on this evening's game

A poor start is compounded by Paddy Jackson's restart which goes out on the full. Great attacking opportunity now for Connacht

After building the phases on the Ulster line the pressure finally show as Ulster are penalised for going off their feet underneath their posts. A good start from the visitors is converted into points by Carty

Healy gets the better of Gilroy under a high ball from Jackson. Some quick feet sees the winger side step his opposite number to launch a counter attack

Paddy Jackson gets us underway here in Belfast

Two late changes for Connacht - Buckley comes in for Loughney and Dillane replaces Roux

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the last of today's derbies. The final kick off of the day sees Ulster play host to Connacht at Kingspan Stadium.
Ulster have rung the changes to allow a number of fringe players to impress in front of a sell out crowd in Belfast. Wilson makes his 300th competitive cap and is handed the captain's armband to mark the occasion. In the backs Jackson partners Marshall in the halfbacks after Pienaar was ruled out late this week.
Lam has made 6 changes from the side that went down at Leinster last week. Henshaw is left out in accordance with the IRFU player welfare programme while Leader starts at full back. The gap left by Henshaw is filled by the partnership of David Mc Sharry and Bundee Aki. At scrum half, John Cooney gets his first Connacht start following his loan move from Leinster.
A win for the away side could see them leapfrog Ulster into 5th place.
