    FT: Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    That's all from us in Belfast as Ulster move up to fourth in the URC table with a third win from five games.

    With Andy Farrell's Ireland squad for the autumn internationals, it was a fine time for Jacob Stockdale to offer a reminder of his finishing ability too.

  2. Almost a first career hat-trick for Stockdalepublished at 21:38 British Summer Time 18 October

    FT: Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    Player-of-the-match Jacob Stockdale gives his verdict after the final whistle to Premier Sports

    "It was brilliant, it was almost a first career hat-trick for me, so i'm gutted that my try was ruled out.

    "Great win, the forwards were fantastic.

    "I can only do what i do out of a good forward performance and they were very physical."

    On his disallowed try.

    "I think the TMO system needs looked at, it shouldn't be possible to take a conversion and a restart then call play back."

    Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    Bonus-point win for Ulster and a well-deserved one.

    Six tries in total for the hosts with two-apiece for Jacob Stockdale and James McCormick as they head to third in the table.

    The Ospreys battled hard but their huge amount of injuries made it a difficult task against a ruthless side at home.

    The game becoming a little scrappy here in the dying seconds.

    Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    Nathan Doak kicks through smartly and then hacks on again towards the try line, ably chased by Cormac Izuchukwu.

    The Ospreys get a player to the ball and Izuchukwu goes down after taking a stud to the head in the tackle. Ospreys escape.

    But again nothing comes of the opportunity and Ulster carry the ball away to safety.

    Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    Ospreys battling so hard showing great endeavour and get so close down the left-hand side, but they are bundled into touch.

    However the referee brings play back to the edge of the 22 for an earlier knock-on and the Ospreys will get another chance.

    Ulster 36-12 Ospreys

    Ulster look sure to get in once again down the right, but Werner Kok is stripped of the ball and Ospreys clear to safety.

    Try - Ulster 36-12 Ospreyspublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 18 October

    Jacob Stockdale (try) Nathan Doak (conv) - 66mins

    What a try for Stockdale.

    Ulster spin the ball right to left and substitute James Humpreys is the image of his dad David as he whips a 30-metre pass out to Stockdale on the wing.

    The big winger then goes outside Keelan Giles and manages a superb touchdown at full stretch in the corner. Superb.

    Nathan Doak shows the head coach Richie Murphy what he is about by nailing the conversion from the left-side touchline.

    Try - Ulster 29-12 Ospreyspublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 18 October

    Keelan Giles - 61mins

    Maybe the visitors haven't quite thrown the towel in yet.

    After drawing in home defenders in midfield the ball is worked left, and there was wing-wizard Giles to dart over into the corner.

    Jack Walsh misses with the conversion.

    Ospreys enjoying some possession here. Morgan Morris with a thundering run that brings the Welsh side within two metres.

    Ulster 29-7 Ospreys

    Ospreys lose their lineout in the Ulster corner and Ulster clear.

    Ulster have a new half-back partnership as Nathan Doak and James Humphreys replace John Cooney and Aidan Morgan respectfully.

    Harry Sheridan - 57mins

    Harry Sheridan sees yellow for contact to the head of an opposing player.

    In mitigation the referee said the attacking players head was moving forward and there was a bend in Sheridan's legs, therefore not a red.

  14. Postpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 18 October

    Ulster 29-7 Ospreys

    Ospreys with plenty of the ball but just going left to right without attracting much interest from the Ulster defence.

    Now Harry Sheridan is being looked at for a shoulder to the face of an Ospreys carrier.

  15. Postpublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 18 October

    Ulster 29-7 Ospreys

    Better from the Ospreys.

    The visitors attacking down the right and the wily figure of Justin Tipuric shows some great hands, but the ball runs into touch for an Ulster lineout. Better.

  16. try

    Try - Ulster 29-7 Ospreyspublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 18 October

    James McCormick - 51mins

    Second try of the night for James McCormick.

    The hooker takes the quick tap and the Ospreys are all at sea on the line, offering little resistance as the no.2 crashes over.

    John Cooney seems to have lost his kicking boots again as he pushes this one wide.

  17. Postpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 18 October

    Ulster 24-7 Ospreys

    Cormac Izuchukwu so close to diving over but the Ospreys tackle but don't roll away and it is another penalty.

    Tap-penalty called.

    Another side entry from the Ospreys inside their own 22 and Ulster kick the resulting penalty to touch

  19. Postpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 18 October

    Ulster 24-7 Ospreys

    Ulster demolish the Ospreys scrum and run from deep.

    The ball ends up on the left flank and Mike Lowry skips between two defenders when he had no right to.

    He enters the Ospreys 22 and offloads in the tackle to John Cooney but the ball spills and Ospreys regather. Impressive pace throughout the Ulster side.

  20. Postpublished at 20:43 British Summer Time 18 October

    Ulster 24-7 Ospreys

    The answer is no.

    As the ball is spread right there is a knock-on and Ulster win the scrum.
