Maaaasive opportunity for Ulster now. They'd be at home in the final if they win this.

I thought the final went with the tie, so Bulls are at home now.

No highest seed left gets final. Ulster finished third and Bulls fourth in regular season.

[OTT]

Stormers looking good here. 10-0 15mins gone.

Ulster very loose in defence so far.

[OTT]

Great try Balacoune, missed conversion 10-5 Stormers

[OTT]

Jaysus, who’s this kid Billy Burns, nearly created an absolute brilliant try. Unlucky.

[OTT]

Class try for Ulster, Moore scores it, great pass from Hume to start the break.

Conv Coney

12-10 Ulster

[sunshiner1]

Wifi dropped and whoever runs Ulster twitter is useless. Watching this abroad is painful

[OTT]

Stormers go for a drop goal in front of posts and miss. 37mims gone.

Ulster defence much improved, really aggressive. Hopefully they can keep this level up.

Balacoune having a fabulous match

[OTT]

Cooney penalty on stroke of half-time Ulster lead 15-10

Lots of similarities with our game yesterday. Home town favourites come out of the blocks fast and look like they might run away with it but the other side raise their game and make it a massive fight at the gainline. Watching this is good for the humility.

Hope Ulster can keep it up.

[OTT]

Timoney with a great turnover, he’s having a big game.

[enby]

Balacoune is a huge loss to Ulster. Lets hope he is OK for NZ tour

[OTT]

Yeah. He’s been class. Looked innocuous, hopefully something just tweaked.

Stormers handling has let them down, again similar to us yesterday.

[enby]

This ref is a joke

[sunshiner1]

Really feel the next score could swing the entire match here.

[Oldschoolsocks]

if Ulster win is the final in Kingspan?
