    Alan O'Connor makes way for the final time in Belfast. It'll be sad to see him go.

    Kieran Treadwell, who is also leaving Ulster at the end of the season, is on in his place.

    David McCann is on for James McNabney, while Rob Herring makes way for Tom Stewart.

    Jurenzo Julius (con Hendrikse)

    It was the parting of the white sea as Jurenzo Julius darts through under the posts.

    Hendrikse converts, and we're level heading into the final 10 minutes.

    The Sharks win the scrum after Cormac Izuchukwu's basketball pass to Zac Ward drifted forward.

    Just 11 minutes to play.

    Was that the momentum shift? Manu Tshituka powers over for the Sharks.

    Ulster 19-12 Sharks

    It's Ulster's turn to put some pressure on but it's knocked forwards by Stuart McCloskey as the hosts worked it through the hands.

    It's a scrum to the Sharks, in an almost identical position to Ulster's put in a couple of minute ago.

    Can Ulster capitalise. The kick-off is spilled forwards by the Sharks and Ulster have the scrum just inside the 22.

    Feels like an age since they have been this close to the Sharks' line.

    That's all she wrote for Andrew Warwick, who goes off to a standing ovation as his final home game for Ulster comes to a close.

    What a servant to Ulster rugby.

    That felt like a matter of time. The power game was a bit too much for Ulster.

    Manu Tshituka (con Jordan Hendrikse)

    It had been coming!

    Manu Tshituka crashes under the posts.

    The Sharks went through the gears and the back row was never going to be stopped from close range.

    Jordan Hendrikse converts.

    Just like that, the Sharks are back in the Ulster 22.

    20 minutes to go.

    McNabney comes away from the scrum yet again and Jack Murphy hammers it clear.

    How long can Ulster keep this up? They desperately need to get some territory in the Sharks' half.

    There's ironic cheers from the home fans as the Sharks knock the ball on from the line-out, and Ulster will have the scrum on their own five metre line again.

    Jacob Stockdale is pinged for holding onto the ball right on his own line.

    The home support aren't thrilled with that one as Stockdale was swallowed up.

    It's into the corner.

    There are 25 minutes left in Belfast and the Sharks' maul is rolling towards the Ulster 22.

    All the play has been at this end of the pitch since the restart.

    There's a shot of six-time World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea in the stands.

    His cousin, Andrew Warwick, is making his last home appearance for Ulster this evening.

    James McNabney broke off the back of the scrum and took three Sharks players down with him.

    Ulster got to their man quickly and Nathan Doak cleared.

    That was celebrated like a try.

    There was phase after phase by the Sharks but Ulster held firm and forced a knock on by a South African hand.

    Ulster have the scrum on their own line.
