    Ulster were flying in that second half. Literally.

    David McCann was named player of the match, but Zac Ward, Jack Murphy and Jacob Stockdale all really played well.

    All in front of the watching eyes of Andy Farrell.

    It was clinical. It was everything that we asked for.

    You can really see Jack Murphy grow in confidence. Ulster played very well.

    Zac Ward (con Murphy)

    Wow! It's NINE for Ulster!

    Zac Ward picks the ball up on halfway and powers past a number of tired Racing bodies and he dives under the posts.

    Murphy converts, and that will be that.

    There's a bit of a disagreement, if we're putting it politely, between a number of players.

    Angus Bell wasn't shy in supporting his team-mates.

    It ends with an Ulster penalty, and Murphy launches it into the 22.

    The clock is in the red. Is there one last cance?

    Jacob Stockdale (con Murphy)

    It's so, so easy.

    Jacob Stockdale races over for his second, and Ulster's eighth, try of the night.

    Angus Bell makes a brilliant break and his offload sets Ulster.

    They worked the ball through the hands and Stockdale jogs over.

    Murphy converts.

    For Racing, the chequered flag is near.

    It's another scrum penalty for Ulster, but Murphy's kick has too much on it and it's straight into touch.

    Gareth Steenson had wanted to see the killer instinct. I think he's happy with what he's seen.

    This is a competition Ulster can really get their teeth into. It can give you confidence for the league too.

    Zac Ward (con Murphy)

    Magnificent seven from Ulster!

    There was some brilliant hands from the forward pack, which started with Bryn Ward and ended with his brother Ward darting over in the corner.

    You know what happened next...Murphy lands the conversion.

    The ball goes through the hands from the line-out as Ulster start to throw it about a bit.

    And that front row trio combine to win another penalty at the scrum.

    Murphy, who has been really good today, sends the ball into the 22.

    Despite all the great players he's played with, it must be a real honour for Angus Bell to pack down with Scott Wilson and Tom Stewart in the front row.
