FULL TIME. Bulls 47-21 Ulster. Hanekom gets over the ball at a ruck to win a penalty and the referee blows for full time.
CONVERSION, BULLS, JOHANNES. Bulls 47-21 Ulster. The third goal kicker used on the day by the Bulls, Keagan Johannes adds the extra points.
TRY, BULLS, LOUW. Bulls 45-21 Ulster. From an attacking scrum the Bulls have front-foot ball. Moodie is almost over but is just held up shy of the line. As the ball comes out it finds Elrich Louw who fights his way over for a well deserved try.
CONVERSION, ULSTER, HUMPHREYS. Two extra points added by the replacement flyhalf.
TRY, ULSTER, MOORE. Bulls 40-19 Ulster. Lovely try for Ulster as the backs show off their skills. Werner Koch makes good ground before offloading well. Mike Lowry features prominently with two more carries before he times his pass perfectly to set Stewart Moore away.

TRY, ULSTER, CARSON. Bulls 40-12 Ulster. Big Ben Carson, all 100kgs of him gets the ball in a bit of space and moving at pace. Dyanti tries to make the tackle but he is shrugged off like he isn't even there. Carson crashes over.
Bulls lineout defence is excellent as Ulster, somewhat predictably, throw to the front. They get the ball and clear their lines.
Ulster win a penalty and set up a lineout after the Bulls tackler fails to roll away. A good attacking position for Ulster five metres out.
Former Sharks man Werner Koch goes on a little run that amounts to nothing, but his handoff on Hanekom is worth a mention as he sits the big number eight down.
CONVERSION, BULLS, KRIEL. Bulls 40-7 Ulster. two more points for the home side.
TRY, BULLS, CHAMBERLAIN. Bulls 38-7 Ulster. Some fine play from the forwards as Nortje and Louw show great skills. And when the ball comes out to Chamberlain he throws a huge dummy that is bought by the Ulster defence. Straight through he goes.
It is no try as on review it appears as though Le Roux obstructed the defender. Tight call, but the right call.
Bulls put up the high kick and win a penalty as Ulster appear to be blocking the chasers. It's another attacking lineout for the Bulls who go looking for another try. And they get it as well. Once again Canaan Moodie the beneficiary of a good offload - this time it's Willie Le Roux who gets a nifty pass away.
David Kriel misses the conversion.
TRY, BULLS, HANEKOM. Bulls 33-7 Ulster. From the lineout the Bulls opts for a trick play, hoisting a jumper but throwing to a man at the front. They drive from there and Hanekom, who won the initial penalty gets the try.
Some good sustained pressure from Ulster who take it through the phases before they give away a penalty for holding on as Hanekom gets himself over the ball. Then they backchat the referee and get marched 10m further back. Bulls set up an attacking lineout as Elrich Louw returns to the field.
Wave-after-wave of Ulster attack comes to nothing. Eventually the ball escapes a ruck and it is hacked upfield and clear by the Bulls to relieve pressure.
Bulls defend the first attack from Ulster as they maul from a lineout. But they concede another penalty as Marco van Staden fails to roll away. It's another lineout for Ulster who try the maul again.
Gumede is on for Louw and in looking for an intercept he knocks it forward and concedes a penalty (for only going for the catch with one hand).
Elrich Louw is off for a blood-bin as Ulster win a penalty. They set up the lineout and then butcher the throw. But the Bulls knock-on in trying to regain possession. They get the scrum but are unceremoniously pushed off the ball by the home side, who clear upfield.
CONVERSION, BULLS, KRIEL. Bulls 28-7 Ulster. Kriel adds the extra points with Chamberlain looking a little ginger.
TRY, BULLS, MOODIE. Bulls 26-7 Ulster. Moodie has had a very quite first half, but he is on the board now. Kriel makes some good ground and then gets his hands through the tackle to offload beautifully to his centre partner who corkscrews his way over.
We are back underway at Loftus as Boeta Chamberlain gets things underway.
HALF TIME. Bulls 21-7 Ulster. Aidan Morgan knocks the ball on as Ulster cannot find a way through the Bulls defence. That's the cue for the referee to blow for half time.
Ulster go for the trick throw at the lineout by playing to the front man. They can't breach the Bulls defence but they do win a penalty and they look to attack with a tap and go.
Wilco Louw is in trouble with the referee for failing to roll away after the tackle. Ulster set up the lineout as they go looking for a try before halftime.
CONVERSION, BULLS, CHAMBERLAIN. Bulls 21-7 Ulster. Stroked over by Chamberlain for the extra two points.
TRY, BULLS, GROBBELAAR. Bulls 19-7 Ulster. Ruan Nortje wins the lineout at the front and they maul it up. The backs join in and Johan Grobbelaar (also in his 50th game for the Bulls), goes over.
Another scrum penalty as Ulster simply cannot handle the heat from the Bulls. This time they opt to set up a lineout.
YELLOW CARD, ULSTER, CORRIE BARRETT. A big carry from Marco van Staden results in a penalty as Ulster stop the ball from coming out. The Bulls opt to scrum and win another penalty. And with that comes the yellow card.
Another penalty at scrum time for the Bulls. The referee has a word with the Ulster skipper about their need to be better, but quite simply they are being monstered by the Bulls front-row. Willie Le Roux sets up another lineout.
Stockdale makes his presence felt again with a line-break and a surging run. Chamberlain stops him with a good tackle, but Ulster are definitely fighting their way back into this game.
Another penalty conceded and another lineout set up by Le Roux. the throw in from Johan Grobbelaar goes astray and Ulster are able to relieve the pressure. That was a bad mistake.
Another huge scrum for the Bulls wins them a penalty. Willie Le Roux punts for touch as they set up a lineout about eight meters out.
Elrich Louw spills the restart and it's a scrum to Ulster. But the Bulls have their number in this department as their eight-man shove has the Irish scrum going backwards at a rate of knots. It's a tight-head by the Bulls end up being forced into touch as they look to counter.
CONVERSION, BULLS, CHAMBERLAIN. Bulls 14-7 Ulster. Easy extra two for the flyhalf.
TRY, BULLS, KRIEL. Bulls 12-7 Ulster. Another sensational try and a big moment for Kriel on his 50 appearance for the Bulls. It comes from a counter after Ulster spill the ball forward. Wilco Louw rumbles it up before the backs go to play. Another fantastic kick-pass, this time from Willie Le Roux, is gathered out wide by Chamberlain. He makes good ground before passing inside to Kriel who goes over.
CONVERSION, ULSTER, DOAK. Bulls 7-7 Ulster. The kick is from out wide but Doak has no problems adding the extra points to level matters up.
TRY, ULSTER, STOCKDALE. Bulls 7-5. What a try that it. A kick-pass from Aidan Morgan is grabbed by Jacob Stockdale. He breaks the tackle of Arendse and then chips ahead. He gathers his own kick and is over in the corner. That was a bit special!
CONVERSION, BULLS, CHAMBERLAIN. Bulls 7-0 Ulster. Easy extra two for the Bulls number 10.
TRY, BULLS, ARENDSE. Bulls 5-0 Ulster. From the scrum the Bulls move it wide. Kurt-Lee Arendse snipes through a gap. He is tackled, but not held and he scrambles up and over to score.
Sebastian de Klerk is over in the corner but the try is disallowed after he just had a foot in touch. But the referee was playing a penalty advantage and the Bulls elect to attack from a scrum.
There's a delay to the lineout as Ulster tight-head Corrie Barrett is injured. The Bulls win the lineout and then win another penalty. Inevitably they set up another lineout, this time just 5m out.
Early scrum for Ulster after Arendse knocks on while contesting a box kick. Scrum goes down on first attempt but the reset is good and the Bulls power through to win a penalty.
We are underway as Nathan Doak kicks off for Ulster.
