    FT: Ulster 20-19 Glasgow

    What a finish we had in Belfast as Ulster clinched a last-gasp victory over URC champions Glasgow.

    Dave Shanahan is Ulster's hero with that try so late in what was a pulsating encounter as the hosts start their campaign with a win.

    That's all from us for now - we hope you enjoyed it.

    Thanks for your company.
