  1. Bordeaux 21-14 Ulster

    Ulster steal the ball back and Ulster have it on halfway.

    Stuart McCloskey is called the Bangor Bulldozer for a reason, and he makes some good ground.

  2. Bordeaux 21-14 Ulster

    Two to go until half-time.

    Bordeaux have the line-out on the Ulster 10-metre line.

  3. try

    Converted Try - Bordeaux 21-14 Ulster

    David McCann (con Cooney)

    Well, well, well!

    Nick Timoney was hauled down inches short.

    He was close, but David McCann picks and goes and tries to burrow over the line.

    Ben Tapuai tries to cover the ball, but referee Luke Pearce gets a good look and sees that McCann has got it down.

    Cooney converts, and I don't think many people would have predicted this comeback!

  4. Bordeaux 21-7 Ulster

    It goes to McCloskey off the back of the scrum and he's swallowed up.

    Ulster are edging closer to the line.

    Five to go until the break.

  5. Bordeaux 21-7 Ulster

    Ulster are going to have the scrum. It's right in front of the Bordeaux posts about 10 metres out.

  6. Bordeaux 21-7 Ulster

    That try seems to have settled Ulster a touch.

    They're throwing the ball about with confidence now.

    James McNabney showed good strength to get down the left, and Michael Lowry is smashed by Ben Tapuai.

    He held onto the ball well, and Ulster now win the penalty in the 22.

    Much, much better.

  7. Bordeaux 21-7 Ulster

    Tony McWhirter

    That's the first phase Ulster have put together and haven't coughed the ball up. It shows what they can do.

  8. try

    Converted Try - Bordeaux 21-7 Ulster

    Tom O'Toole (con Cooney)

    Stuart McCloskey almost catches the hosts napping with his quick penalty.

    Ulster recycle the ball quickly and Tom O'Toole is there to power over.

    John Cooney converts, and Ulster are on the board.

  9. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Ulster win the penalty and go quickly. They're right on the line!

  10. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Ulster win the scrum and break into the Bordeaux 22 through Jack Murphy and Jacob Stockdale!

    Much better, can they finish it off?

  11. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Back row Diaby drops the ball as he looked to drive at two Ulster players. Now Ulster have the scrum just outside their own 22.

  12. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Nothing is going right for Ulster.

    John Cooney looks to send the ball deep into the Bordeaux half, but it skips off the bone-dry pitch and out of play.

    Bordeaux now have the scrum in the Ulster half.

  13. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Jonathan Bradley
    BBC Sport NI Journalist at the Stade Chaban Delmas

    Ulster players spoke during the week about the need to start games better...21-0 down after 21 minutes not likely what they had in mind.

    To their credit, they've been turning around those early deficits in the United Rugby Championship...this Bordeaux team, though, are a different level.

  14. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    This could be a long afternoon for Ulster.

    Bordeaux are almost in again but some sloppy hands from Guido Petti stop a near-certain try. Far too easy.

  15. Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Tony McWhirter
    1999 Ulster European Cup winner on BBC Radio Ulster

    Bordeaux are just starting to go through the gears.

  16. try

    Converted Try - Bordeaux 21-0 Ulster

    Adam Coleman (con Cerbery)

    One big stretch for the line and Bordeaux have their third try!

    Ulster's line-out faletred and the hosts came flying forward.

    their defence held firm but big second row Adam Coleman was able to touch down after driving for the line.

    Carbery lands his third conversion.

  17. Bordeaux 14-0 Ulster

    In the blink of an eye, Bordeaux are deep in the Ulster 22 once again.

    This feels ominous.

  18. Bordeaux 14-0 Ulster

    Bordeaux's defence holds firm and Jack Murphy looks to send it wide for Zac Ward, but there's too much on the kick and it's into touch.

  19. Bordeaux 14-0 Ulster

    Ulster win the penalty and are now having a spell in the Bordeaux 22.

    The hosts have been clinical - can they respond?

  20. Bordeaux 14-0 Ulster

    Tony McWhirter
    1999 Ulster European Cup winner on BBC Radio Ulster

    It almost felt inevitable once they got to the Ulster line.
