FT: Ospreys 19-17 Ulster
Well that's all for now folks, as Dan Edwards snatches a last minute win for the Ospreys with a stunning drop-goal.
The hosts leapfrog Ulster into seventh with the Irish province in eighth on points difference.
It's now three defeats in a row in all competitions for the Ulstermen and more pressure on coach Dan McFarland to turn things around, and fast.
Thanks for joining us, good afternoon.

FT: Ospreys 19-17 Ulster
What a finish.
It may not have been a classic but those last five minutes had it all.
Stand up Dan Edwards with a stunner of a drop goal. He will not have to buy a pint tonight in Swansea.
Ulster will be gutted, but will be disappointed overall with their game management.

Can you believe it! drop goal from Dan Edwards 40 metres out.

Last roll of the dice by the Ospreys in the last 60 seconds.
They pour right but Ulster bring the ball into touch on their own 22, this is it surely...

Our poll shows Ospreys are expected to win by you the fans, does that kick change things?

Jake Flannery (76 mins)
My goodness what a kick!
It just scraped over the bar by inches, but they all count.

Penalty Ulster on halfway.
Going for the points via Jake Flannery, gonna be hard in these wet underfoot conditions

Ulster looking dangerous in attack but they seem to have no luck down this left. Jacob Stockdale gets a horror pass and is bundles into touch by Alex Cuthbert who is on for his first appearance for a year after an injury, he has looked sharp so far.
Poll Time!
Ospreys 16-14 Ulster
So who do you think will win this one now?
Thumbs up for an Ospreys victory, thumbs down for an Ulster win.
Get involved!

That try has energised the Welsh side as they hunt down a grubber kick. Justin Tipuric nabs James Hume on the deck and Hume is pinged for holding on. Impossible to call this one.

Kieran Williams (65 mins)
Talk about end-to-end.
Following on from Tom Stewarts clearance, Ulster gain possession and force a wide pass out left but it is intercepted and it leads to Dan Edwards running 60 metres down field before falling over.
But Kieran Williams runs a superb supporting line to pick up the pass from Edwards and runs over unopposed.
He dusts himself down to kick the extras.

Ospreys 9-14 Ulster
What a play from Tom Stewart!
The hooker grabs a loose ball from the back of an Ospreys maul close to his own line then punts the ball 60 metres downfield to relieve the pressure.

Luke Marshall (62 mins)
It's 14 v 14 now.
Luke Marshall has barely been on the field for more than two minutes and he gets his marching orders. His offside is the last straw for the referee after a warning for Ulster previously.

Tom Stewart (58 mins)
No stopping Ulster hooker Tom Steward this time.
The Ulster maul again proving highly effective as Stewart just has to leap over the line from the base. Immediate punishment for the Ospreys.

Morgan Morris return from the bin

James Ratti (57 mins)
Ospreys down to 13 now.
James Ratti penalised for a trip on Jake Flannery. Sloppy stuff and now Ulster must score, and soon

Ospreys 9-7 Ulster
Poor old Jacob Stockdale. Ulster spin the ball wide left, Stockdale finds himself in acres of space on the wing but the ball seems to slip right through his hands. Hopefully Ireland coach Andy Farrell was making a tea at home at that point.

Dan Edwards (56 mins)
No mistake from Dan Edwards straight in front and the Ospreys are back in front

Penalty to Ospreys now in front of the posts. Tom Stewart off his feet at the ruck. Silly foul and it draws a talking to for captain James Hume from referee Federico Vedovelli

Ospreys 6-7 Ulster
Ulster pummeling the Ospreys line trying to take advantage of the man advantage but they are pinged once more for a ruck infringement. They are leaving a lot of points out there.
World-Cup winner Steven Kitshoff takes the field to replace Andrew Warwick at loose head prop.

Ospreys 6-7 Ulster
Ulster look certain to score from the lineout as they maul over the Ospreys line but Tom Stewart is adjudged to have been held up.
Goal line drop-out for the Ospreys, big chance missed for Ulster to stretch their lead.
