Once again in this stadium, there was late heartbreak for Ulster.

Three visits here from the northern province have produced three incidents of late drama with the visitors on the wrong end of things on each occasion.

They'll regret not making more of their good first-half but, when the dust settles, a losing bonus-point surely would have been viewed as a good return before kick-off.

Plenty to like too about the side's attitude and application after the tumult of recent weeks, but they'll end Round 13 of the URC season clinging onto their play-off spot in 8th.

Richie Murphy has been speaking after that Ulster defeat.

"A very tough loss," he said.

"Incredibly proud of the players. We lost a little bit of control in the second-half. I thought we were really good in the first-half.

"I suppose we came under a bit of pressure and couldn't quite get out of our end but the work-rate and the effort, the chasing back, I think shows the character within the team and I'm really proud of that."

Manie Libbok kicks a penalty with the last act of the game and the Stormers have won.

Ulster, at least, can bring a losing bonus-point back to Belfast.

Ulster are turned over at the line-out and replacement hooker JJ Kotze produces a mammoth 50:22 to flip the field.

A kick any back would have been proud to produce.

McCann is back on the pitch and Ulster have done really well to hold onto their lead through the sin bin period.

They're still under pressure here, though.

Marcus Rea replaces older brother Matty as Stormers knock another one down into the corner.

Through this campaign plenty of Ulster supporters were questioning why they weren't seeing more of Harry Sheridan.

Well, he has started both of Richie Murphy's games in charge and has certainly rewarded the interim head coach with his performances.

He's having a huge game here.

Ulster will play half the remaining minutes a man down.

Dave McCann has been sent to the bin on the hour mark after an offside when Stormers threatened again.

The flanker was close but had likely just strayed.

A huge test for the visitors now who just need some time on the ball to settle themselves.

The Stormers have the line-out five metres from the line but, in what is becoming a theme, they struggle out of touch with the ball fumbled forward as the pack prepared to drive for the whitewash.

Ulster survive the scrum and clear after Timoney charged off the base.

With 54 minutes on the clock, the Stormers are finally on the board.

No mistakes from Libbok this time.

That'll be the last action for Kitshoff who is replaced by Andrew Warwick.

Tom Stewart, Scott Wilson and Cormac Izuchukwu all on for Ulster now.

Well, we did say it would be eventful.

As Kitshoff and Malherbe come together for the first time, the tighthead gets the win over his South African team-mate.

Penalty to the Stormers and they'll go for the posts.

The Stormers really starting to throw the ball around now and Evan Roos stretches for the line...but he comes up short and the ball is dislodged.

Good covering from Nathan Doak there and TMO Colin Brett rules out the score.

Ulster hanging on a bit here thanks to some last-ditch interventions.

After Harry Sheridan comes away with another big turnover for Ulster, Stormers coach John Dobson looks to his bench.

Ben-Jason Dixon, Marcel Theunissen and Frans Malherbe all come on with half an hour to go.

The latter is sure to provide a huge test for his Springbok team-mate Steven Kitshoff at scrum-time.

Plenty of eyes on that head-to-head at the next set-piece.

The Stormers were really threatening for the first time there with a line-out five metres out.They worked it well for Joseph Dweba to take the ball on the charge but, after the ball is recycled, Evan Roos is turned over almost on the try-line.

The Stormers appeal that Nathan Doak's tackle was high but Sam Grove-White is unmoved and Ulster clear.

With Manie Libbok's restart, we begin the second-half.

There wasn't much optimism around Ulster ahead of this one but they're 40 minutes away from a big result.

Is your glass half full or half empty?

Prior to the game, anyone involved with Ulster would surely have been thrilled with a seven-point advantage at the turn, and yet, there will be a sense that they should be further ahead here.

Will they come to regret not staking themselves to a larger half-time lead?

Another surprising miss off the tee from Cooney who can't reward his forwards with three points for their scrum success.

After all the talk during the Six Nations around Peter O'Mahony tapping Andrew Porter's elbow back up during scrums, here we have Harry Sheridan helping Steven Kitshoff get the muck out from between his studs before a the set-piece.

Maybe that's the treatment you get when you arrive with two World Cup medals.

Clearly it worked anyway. Kitshoff takes the plaudits after Ulster are awarded the penalty.

Half an hour into this one and Ulster are at the stage where they will be starting to think they need to turn their territory into points.

Stormers haven't been great by any means but Ulster still just have that one try to show for their efforts.

Nick Timoney and Dave McCann, Ulster's two best players this season, have been leading the way again but it has been interesting to see Rob Baloucoune seemingly searching for work on his return to action.

Issues off the tee must be contagious.

After Libbok's pair of misses, the usually reliable John Cooney sees his effort come back up for the upright.

Been quite a while since Cooney missed one virtually in front of the posts like that.
