    The Achilles heel of Ulster is the lack of concentration and, for me, the lack of discipline in the last 15 minutes.

    Ulster still take two points out of the game, which isn't a complete disaster in the grand scheme of things in Pool Three.

    But, despite a superb start to the season, that was an ending that harked back to the disappointment of last season.

    Cardiff may not have deserved it, but they are the ones who take the five points out of it.

    Just a reminder.

    October 2024: Ulster throw away a 19-point lead to lose 21-19 in the URC.

    December 2025: Ulster let slip a 14-point lead to lose by three points in Europe.

    The Cardiff players mobbed Sheedy even before the kick had crossed the bar. It was good from the moment it left his boot.

    Discipline has cost Ulster big time, but that's some effort from the hosts.

    Brilliant from Cardiff. They have hung in there so well in the second half.

    Ulster have the scrum, but they're deep in their own half.

    Just over 60 seconds left.

    Cardiff were looking to build momentum in the Ulster 22 but Ben Thomas spills it at the crucial moment.

    We've just 90 seconds left!

    We're going to have a scrum reset, just to add some more tension.
