And the try will stand!
The referee couldn't quite see the grounding but with the on-field decision of try, there was nothing to overturn the score and Ulster are back in this.
Exactly the response they needed after shipping those two early tries.

Toulouse have their second.
From that penalty, the maul drives forward before being halted just short.
With Ulster expecting Dupont to go short to the oncoming forward, he pulls it out the back for half-back partner Ntamack who evades Ben Carson on his way over the line.

Toulouse v Ulster (15:15 GMT)
In this 30th season of European action, this will be the 15th time that Toulouse and Ulster have met in the various guises of this competition.
Toulouse have just got the better of things, winning seven, losing six and drawing one of the previous meetings.
The French side came away 48-24 winners at Kingspan Stadium in January with Ugo Mola's side running in seven tries in the win.
The most famous head-to-head, however, came during the 1998/99 season when Ulster won 15-13 in the quarter-finals on their way to being crowned Irish rugby's first European champions.

We may be in the south of France but it's very much woolly hat and gloves weather.
There's been a gentle drizzle all day to spice things up as the players warmed up (as much as they can!).
The home support made some racket as the teams got off their respective coaches, and many have got into the ground early to get a close-up glimpse of Dupont and his star-studded team-mates.
It's going to be a huge ask for a young Ulster side.

Toulouse v Ulster (15:15 GMT)
With Ireland having played their final autumn fixture against Australia last weekend, Ulster head coach Richie Murphy has opted to keep most of his Test players in reserve.
Iain Henderson, Rob Herring, Tom O'Toole, Nick Timoney and Cormac Izuchukwu are all named among the replacements, although Stuart McCloskey starts in midfield.
For holders Toulouse, there is no Blair Kinghorn in the matchday 23 but plenty of stars will be on show.
Antoine Dupont starts at nine and is joined in the backline by the likes of Thomas Ramos, Ange Capuozzo, Santiago Chocobares and Romain Ntamack.
