    Tom Stewart (40 mins)

    That man Stewart is really coming into the game now.

    A lineout maul crushes the Warriors defence and the hooker is at the base to fall over the line for Ulster's third try of the afternoon.

    Flannery with an impressive conversion from wide out left.

    Some interesting kits worn by the officials today.

    They look like a blend of Ireland Rugby and Republic of Ireland football shirts from the beginning of the century.....old-school!

    Jamie Dobie (31 mins)

    It's Glasgow's turn to turn up the heat on the Ulster defence.

    Despite some great tackles, Dobie manages to snipe over from close range to dot down, well-worked.

    Weir pings over the extra two.

    That was a nice, short line from James Hume, he changed his feet well and you'd be expecting him to finish from there, which he does. He looks in good shape and a good pre-season for him could see him re-calibrate and go again.

    James Hume (24 mins)

    This is more like it for the men in white.

    More pressure on the Glasgow line from Ulster's impressive back row.

    James Hume with a tidy angled run close to the posts leaves the defence with no chance.

    Flannery with the extras.

    Ulster finally make one count!

    Another penalty kicked into the corner five yards from the Glasgow line. A clean line-out and excellent maul allowed the big former Exeter Chiefs man Dave Ewers to drive over from the base.

    First try at a GAA ground for Ulster. A piece of history.
