First chance for Montpellier to throw it around and they slowly but surely start to make ground...

That should settle any nerves. That's the perfect start from Ulster.

I just hope they haven't poked the bear.

First penalty goes Ulster's way with Montpellier pinged at the breakdown.

An early platform for the Irish province.

And away we go! Matthew Carley is the referee, by the way...

The teams are out on the pitch. We're just about ready to get under way.

The big difference this time is Rob Baloucoune's injuries over the last number of years have been lower limb injuries, whether it is hamstrings, calves, knee. This time it's an upper body so his fitness shouldn't really be compromised.

We're watching all the guys here warm up and he is absolutely flying over the track. He'll be buzzing. He'll be excited. The last time he played he was playing for Ireland, scoring tries and being named breakthrough player of the Six Nations.

His confidence will be sky high.

Zac Ward has been Ulster's stats machine in the Challenge Cup.

He leads the Irish province in metres (389), defenders beaten (30), carries (55) and tries (four).

A big performance tonight could seal an Ireland call-up for the Nations Championship in July.

I've been really impressed with Jack Murphy this year, he is key in Ulster's philosophy of finding the best space. He's always looking to keep the ball alive and has that quality passing game.

If Ulster are going to win he is going to be the key guy in there along with Nathan Doak.

Here is the tunnel walk the Ulster players will make in a few minutes on to the pitch at the stunning San Mames Stadium in sunny Bilbao.

It's going to be a massive battle for Ulster tonight I think, particularly up front with the pack. It's interesting to see they've gone with Billy Vunipola as captain. That sort of English mentality.

They're going to be looking for him and his work rate to be leading this pack and setting a tone from the start.

Set piece is going to be hugely important to this game and I think the fact that Montpellier have gone full strength is credit to Ulster. Obviously they see Ulster as a real threat to them.

I'm a big admirer of Jude Postlethwaite, I think he will slot in Stuart McCloskey's shoes quite seamlessly. It's going to be difficult to replace a man of Stuart's quality, but in terms of a partnership and a mesh, Jude and James Hume are good.

Jude is more of an offload threat. It's a physical partnership, they're not distributors, but in this heat you want them carrying deep into Montpellier's half.

Here's a bit more from Tony, who gave his prediction alongside Ian Humphreys.

It's really exciting to be here.

Naturally when you get to the final of any competition, you start to get excited because you know the silverware is in touching distance but certainly the ride that Ulster have been on and the journey they've been on to this final has been really exciting for us to watch in the last number of weeks.

Not only will Ulster and Montpellier have to battle each other, but also the heat at the San Mames Stadium.

It was as high as 38 degrees today in Bilbao's city centre and it's still sitting at 32 as we approach kick off.

It'll be tough to play in and, not to be that person, but it's maybe a bit too hot with factor 50 in full flow.

In saying that, it hasn't stopped the Ulster supporters who have made their way over for the game, and they have taken over an Irish bar in Bilbao - so much so the staff are all wearing Ulster shirts while serving drinks.

If you are looking a more sedate Bilbao experience compared to the Irish bar near the ground, then the fan zone is a great shout.

With temperatures at 38 degrees this afternoon, fans were flocking to the shade in between getting drinks, some rugby challenges and listening to live music.

What do we make of the price list for some replica rugby balls? Hope you brought your pocket money!
