  1. Ulster 19-26 Munster

    Munster win a penalty at scrum time and Charlie O'Shea is going to kick for goal.

    He was very impressive in last week's encounter.

    Can he find the points from the halfway line?

  2. Penalty: Scarlets 27-26 Benetton

    Sam Costelow

    Benetton are penalised at a line-out and Sam Costelow calls for the kicking tee.

    The Wales fly-half lines it up from around 45 metres, just to the right of the posts.

    It's a fantastic strike and Scarlets inch back in front.

  3. Ulster 19-26 Munster

    Jacob Stockdale shows his pace and goes accelerating down the middle.

    The ball is eventually spilt by Ulster and Munster have the put in to the scrum.

    10 minutes to go at the Affidea Stadium and all is to play for.

    You can see Munster are rattled. There's a bit of a scrap at the end of that. Ulster have the momentum.

  5. try

    Try: Scarlets 24-26 Benetton

    Louis Lynagh

    Benetton back in front, and it's a fantastic finish by wing Lynagh.

    Turnover ball and Leonardo Marin chips in behind for his fellow Italy international to win the race against Eddie James, dotting the ball down just before it goes dead.

    The conversion is wide. Scarlets need to force a penalty within range, or just keep playing some Fijian style stuff.

    Both sides have their four-try bonuses but who will get a first win?

  6. try

    Converted Try - Ulster 19-26 Munster

    David McCann (con Matthew Devine)

    Game on!

    Ulster are initially slow to use the ball of the back off a scrum, but patient play by the forwards sees David McCann go crashing over.

    The conversion is added.

    12 minutes to go and seven points in it... Nail-biting stuff!

  7. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    A score here would give Ulster a fighting chance at getting back into this contest.

    They seem to be finding their form slightly more now.

    Max Clein's throw in to the line-out is not straight and it's a huge opportunity for Ulster as they win a scrum five metres out.

    Can they do it?

  8. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    Matthew Devine tries to organise his side and sends the ball high into the sky.

    Munster look to build some phases but Ulster manage to win a huge turnover on the wing.

  9. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    David McCann pirouettes his way through and fends off Munster pressure.

  10. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    A scramble between the side to win the ball is won by Munster but Craig Casey sends the ball to the sky and Ulster have it back.

  11. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    Tom Stewart links up with the Ulster line-out but the ball doesn't find touch from the clearing kick.

    The interpro derby sees its first little niggle as Stuart McCloskey and Craig Casey have an exchange!

    Just under 20 minutes to go and Munster lead by 14 points.

  12. try

    Try: Scarlets 24-21 Benetton

    Ellis Mee

    Just seconds after bombing a big chance from a Sam Lousi charge down, Scarlets are over for their bonus-point try and the lead.

    It's heads-up play by Sam Costelow to find Mee on the right wing and he shows fast feet to get past Ratave.

    Scarlets are on top when play is unstructured, Benetton are happier in the tight stuff.

    Just three points in it with quarter of an hour to go.

    The Italians have been held scoreless in the second half.

    Every time it looks like Ulster get a bit of momentum, Munster manage it and slow it down or win a penalty.

  14. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    Ulster win the penalty due to a TMO intervention for a late hit by Dan Kelly.

    However, the line-out is stolen by Munster, which arguably sums up the match so far.

  15. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    The clock is paused as there are a couple of players down receiving treatment.

  16. Ulster 12-26 Munster

    The crowd at the Affidea Stadium aren't happy as they believe Dan Kelly made a late hit.

    However, Munster continue to build some attacking phases.

    That's brilliant inter-play from backs and forwards. They kept the ball alive and it's what the Ulster fans wanted to see. They are now back in it.

  18. try

    Converted Try - Ulster 10-26 Munster

    Jacob Stockdale (con Matthew Devine)

    Brilliant stuff! Ulster are patient and finally find their way over for their second score of the night.

    Tom O'Toole breaks free and sends the ball to Rob Baloucoune, who shows his brilliant footwork, before finding Jacob Stockdale on his side.

    On his 150th appearance in an Ulster jersey, Stockdale scores his second of the night and it's a great team try for the home side.

    Matthew Devine adds the extras.

  19. try

    Try: Scarlets 19-21 Benetton

    Ellis Mee

    Ellis Mee scores for ScarletsHuw Evans Picture Agency

    What a score by Scarlets!

    Wonderful play by wing Macs Page, who grubbers through, gathers, stays on his feet and flings a pass to the right.

    Wales back Ellis Mee acrobatically finishes in the corner and the home side, who were on the ropes a few minutes ago, are back within two points approaching the hour.

  20. Ulster 5-26 Munster

    Ulster win a free kick off the back of a scrum.

    Can they maximise it? They're moving the ball through the hands quickly.
