    Just two minutes to go until half-time in Belfast.

    Ulster have it in their own 22.

    Jordan Hendrikse sends his conversion wide.

    The try came from Jason Jenkins, who used his sizeable frame to break into the 22.

    There was a bit of a mess and that allowed Makazole Mapimpi to cross over in the corner.

    The try will stand and Jacob Stockdale is sent to the sin bin for knocking the ball with his hand while he was offside.

    Makazole Mapimpi

    The Sharks think they are over, but there's a couple of things to check here.

    Ulster could be a man down if Ulster were offside.

    The Sharks are the team with EIGHT World Cup winners.

    You wouldn't tell it on this evidence so far. They'll be looking to see if Jacob Stockdale has a South African passport.

    Nathan Doak (con Murphy)

    Out. Of. This. World.

    After Werner Kok stole the ball, Ulster came racing forward and Jacob Stockdale, as he's done so many times before, chips it forward and gathers his own kick.

    Nathan Doak had made a superb supporting run and he's there to cross for Ulster's third try.

    Jack Murphy converts.

    It's mega defence by Werner Kok, who puts in a big tackle, jumps to his feet and steals the ball back for Ulster.

    The pace of this one is dropping a touch now.

    After Ulster's quick start, you sense they're the happier playing with a higher tempo too.

    I was a bit worried beforehand about the trio of Stockdale, Ward and Kok in the back three, but they have worked really well together.

    Jacob Stockdale is having a blinder so far.

    He launches the ball into the sky and almost gathers his own kick, but it's just knocked forward and the Sharks will have the scrum.

    This scoreline isn't by luck, Ulster have dominated this half. Can they get more points on the board?

    Ulster 12-0 Sharks

    Cormac Izuchukwu is receiving some treatment on his head.

    There was a bit of contact at a ruck, but he was falling over and referee Ben Whitehouse says it was a rugby incident.

    He should be okay to carry on.

    Ulster 12-0 Sharks

    The maul is brought down and the Sharks pinch the ball after it all got a wee bit loose at a ruck.

    Jordan Hendrikse hacks it clear.

    It's desperate stuff from the South Africans.

    Ulster 12-0 Sharks

    Rob Herring of all people now kicks through - this must all be part of the game plan.

    It's a nasty bounce for Ethan Hooker (who's playing on the wing) and he's swallowed up by the chasing Ulster pack, who win the penalty.

    Murphy sends it into the corner.

    Cormac Izuchukwu's return to fitness has been such a boost to Ulster.

    He was impactful against Leinster last week and has started well again here.

    Becoming a real menace on opposition line-out ball too.

    Nathan Doak is having a really good game so far and he sends a neat kick into the Sharks' 22.

    Pressure on the South African's throw here.

    The first try was brilliant, the second was scrappy.

    But they all count!

    All the wee battles are going to Ulster as a kick into the sky is dropped forward by Jordan Hendrikse.

    Earlier, Alan O'Connor had pinched a Sharks throw.

    The scrum is in a good position here.
