    Bryn Ward with the break. Ulster knocking on the door once again.

  10. Penalty - Nathan Doak (Ulster)published at 20:47 GMT 2 January

    It feels like a mistake could decide the outcome of this match.

  14. Half-timepublished at 20:33 GMT 2 January

    Ulster 6-3 Munster

    That was indeed it as the ball is shipped out of play and Ulster go in with a slender advantage. Two Nathan Doak penalties gave them the lead with JJ Hanrahan kicking one of his own.

    Both sides have had try-scoring opportunities, but are yet to capitalise.

    It's turned quite scrappy so the teams will seek to reset at the break.

  15. Postpublished at 20:31 GMT 2 January

    Ulster 6-3 Munster

    Ulster on the attack again with Stuart McCloskey driving up to the 22. The ball is ultimately worked out to the left, but Jacob Stockdale knocks on. That will probably be the final significant act of the opening period.

    A couple of Werner Kok's kicks tonight won't win any prizes for aesthetics but they've certainly been effective.

    That's twice now he's put boot to ball and produced a knock-on.

    And another handling error from Munster. Ulster have the put-in again for what has turned into a stop-start affair.

    Now it's Ulster's turn to make the handling error as Bryn Ward spills the ball forward.

  19. Postpublished at 20:21 GMT 2 January

    Ulster 6-3 Munster

    It's been a bit scrappy with Munster coughing up possession again with Fineen Wycherley unable to hold on to the ball.

    This the danger when you don't turn your pressure into points.

    Ulster have played all the rugby in the first half hour but, after one mistake from a restart, Munster were pressing to take the lead.

    The hosts get away with just three points conceded but that should be a lesson.
