    We haven't seen any of Glasgow's usual attacking adventure and flair tonight.

    Glasgow are in a battle here, and they're losing it.

    They seem to be in a rush. They want to play quickly and go wide, and Ulster aren't letting them do it.

    It's been all Ulster since Glasgow opened the scoring. Their discipline has been nowhere near good enough - they've got a lot of talking to do in that dressing room.

    A dominant scrum sees Glasgow win a penalty.

    Can the hosts find some forward momentum as we approach half-time.

    Glasgow 5-5 Ulster

    Johnny Matthews gets over the ball to win a penalty, which is met with a huge roar from the home crowd.

    It's more impressive defence, but the lack of possession and territory in the last ten minutes or so isn't sustainable.

    Ulster will fancy their chances if it stays like this.

    Jacob Stockdale barrels his way into the home 22, and the Warriors will have to defend their own line once more.

    Glasgow need to look after their discipline in the middle third of the pitch.

    You can only defend your try-line for so long, and their luck run out there.

    Sorting that discipline would limit Ulster's time in the 22.

    Yes they can!

    It's pure power from the Irish forwards, and this time Glasgow are powerless to resist.

    It's a first try for his province for back row Harry Sheridan.

    The conversion slides just wide, and we're all square.

    A sloppy penalty goes the way of Ulster as Glasgow fail to release in the tackle.

    They have looked disjointed since they took the lead.

    Can Ulster make this visit to the 22 count?

    Glasgow somehow repel phase after phase, and hold the ball up when Ulster eventually force their way over the line - stunning defence.

    The hosts will have a goal-line drop-out.
