Back underway at the Kingspan

Quite a scrappy first half.

Theo Cabango's try for Cardiff is enough to keep them in front, despite two penalties from Nathan Doak.

Cardiff showing some good defence in the Ulster half.

Ulster looking a little short on ideas when they are attacking from deep.

The scrum-half steps up again and makes no mistake from the tee. It's a one-point game now.

Another penalty for the hosts 40-metres out.

Alex Mann, for the second time, throws himself into a no-arms tackle and is lucky to escape without a card.

So close to a first try for Ulster.

The men in white maul from a five-metre lineout.

As the move breaks down Tom Stewart goes to pick up at the base but fumbles forward. Chance missed.

They go back for a penalty which is tapped. This time Dave Ewers bundles over the try-line, but he is held up. Cardiff celebrate some impressive defence.

What a sad sight for Cardiff fans, as the comeback man Taulupe Faletau goes off holding his left forearm.

On comes fellow back-rower Mackenzie Martin.

No mistake from the Ulster Scrum-half from straight in front 20-metres out.

Now it is Cardiff who will be looking for a reaction.

Ulster certainly impressing now in attack.

Mike Lowry picks up a loose kick inside his own half before haring downfield.

A number of phases later and it's a penalty for the Irish province for foul play.

Ulster's first real chance on 23 minutes.

Jake Flannery really coming into the game for Ulster at out-half.

His tricky run into the Cardiff 22 leads to a Nathan Doak chip through, but Jacob Stockdale can't quite win the race as Cardiff defend well to touch down over their own line for a drop-out.

Ulster look like they want to move the ball at pace but their execution is letting them down. They can't blame the weather tonight in perfect conditions.

Sad sight for Ulster fans as James Hume is helped off from the field after an awkward fall in a tackle.

Ethan McIlroy comes on to the field to replace the stricken centre.

Watch Theo Cabango dart clear and cross the line to give Cardiff an early lead at Kingspan Stadium.

Cardiff looking very threatening with the ball in hand, aided by a spilled catch from Jacob Stockdale under no real pressure.

The Welsh side go left when an overlap looks on, but Theo Cabango just can't take the pass. Promising.

Richie Murphy's men need a response from that try, but Cardiff working very hard at the breakdown to make things messy for Nathan Doak at scrum-half.

Wow! First scrum and Cardiff demolish the Ulster eight. Penalty Cardiff on halfway.

From the restart David McCann of Ulster is pinged for holding the man on the ground. Fly-half Tinus de Beer puts a fantastic penalty kick right into the corner, but Ulster turn the ball over five-metres out.

Both sides impressing in midfield early-on in Belfast but errors-a-plenty in opposing 22's.

Penalty Ulster, after a reckless challenge on James Hume. Jake Flannery goes deep into the Cardiff 22. Ulster then win a quickfire second penalty but Nathan Doak nudges the ball dead!

He will be disappointed with that mistake.

Great to see Taulupe Faletau back after a long injury lay-off. A true world class back-row on show tonight for Cardiff.
