    Ben Healy, what a loss for Irish rugby. I thought he was fantastic tonight, he was my man of the match.

    It was a very frustrating game.

    Those last 5 minutes Ulster all of a sudden started playing really good rugby.

    I think Edinburgh had slightly switched off but Ulster just weren't accurate enough

    That's the bonus point for Ulster. A nice shimmying step from Hume sends him over.

    And they get their fourth try...

    Matt Ritchie leaves a bit too much space and Ulster capitalise. It won't affect the result of tonight's game but it does secure the bonus points for Ulster.

    It's taken Ulster 78 minutes to get a line break. Questions do need to be asked...

    Ulster may be down but they are not out yet.

    They make a quick break into the Edinburgh 22 and Harry Paterson is shown a yellow card for his challenge to stop Stewart Moore's attack.

    We're back up and running after that lengthy stoppage.

    About four minutes left to play.

    Ben Moxham is going to have to be stretchered off here for Ulster.

    He looks in some real pain - fingers crossed it's nothing too serious.

    Ulster have one back.

    Rob Balouroune picks up the ball and drives it over the touchline to get Ulster's third try of the night.

    No extras this time though...

    Edinburgh's ball control on the Ulster line is phenomenal and it paid off.

    Credit has to go to Edinburgh.

    Robin Hislop

    This one will count though!

    It was a lovely passage of play from Edinburgh with replacement Robin Hislop the man to finally touch it down.

    He collects the ball from Viliame Mata right on the line and makes no mistake.

    Ben Healy once again adds the extras.
