Jackson's kick had the distance but not the accuracy and still the sides remain scoreless.
The Zebre scrum collapses and Ulster get the scrum and Jackson decides to go for the post just inside his own half.
25 minutes gone and we are still scoreless with both sides having their moments but making handling errors at the wrong time.
Not like Deccie to react like that. Something must have happened off camera.
Ulster now on the front foot as they enter into the Zebre 22 after some more good play by McCloskey.
Play resumes with Bowe catching a highball and calling a mark and clearing for Ulster.
With the heat in Parma today the referee stops play for a water break for the players.
Gilroy with the drop goal attempt but his kick is too short and we still await the first score of the game.
A great punch from dfitzp against manici whitout reason
Clive Ross who has started the game so well is sacrificed and Herbst comes on to take his place.
