    The maul is rolling towards the line but John Cooney is told to use it by Hollie Davidson.

    Can Ulster work a another score?

    Ulster 38-17 Exeter

    With 10 minutes to go this one looks done.

    Now, if Ulster want to keep their Champions Cup hopes alive they need to add as many points as possible.

    Their points difference to the Sharks was 56 heading into tonight. They're beginning to chip away at that tally now.

    Jack Murphy sends a kick into the corner.

    Converted Try - Ulster 38-17 Exeterpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ben Carson (con Cooney)

    Ben Carson with a sensational try! Devastating from Ulster!

    Jude Postlewaite's superb offload sets Micaeh Lowry away. He draws in his man and feeds Carson, who still has a ton of work to do.

    He has no choice but to go it alone, and he skips inside Harvey Skinner and races clear to score. That could be the pick of the lot!

    John Cooney lands the extras, and Ulster are roaring clear!

    Just a reminder, if Exeter want to even earn a Challenge Cup spot they will need to score 15 points.

    Ulster would still progress if the scores are tied thanks to their superior points difference.

    You aren't stopping a man of that size from that range!

    Cormac Izuchukwu (con Cooney)

    There's the daylight Ulster were pushing for!

    The pressure finally told and Cormac Izuchuwku stretches out to touch down over the line for Ulster's fifth try.

    John Cooney converts and there's now 14 points between the sides.

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Ben Carson spots a gap and gets inside. He had players outside him but he kept hold of it.

    Ulster now have the penalty advantage, but they're still coming!

  9. Postpublished at 21:26 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Scott Wilson says 'av it!' and breaks back inside the 22 with one of his trademark runs.

    Exeter are still holding firm.

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Ulster win the throw but it's not clean and Exeter slow it all right down.

    They still have it, but they aren't really going anywhere.

    Go for the posts for into the corner? Decisions, decisions.

  13. Postpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    We've 20 minutes to play in Belfast and this one is still finely-poised.

    Ulster win the line-out and it's sent through by Cooney, but Brown-Bampoe shows some quick feet to get up to the 10-metre line.

  14. Postpublished at 21:19 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Nathan Doak was struggling after that period of play and John Cooney is on in his place.

    Kieran Treadwell and Tom Stewart are also on for Ulster, while Iain Henderson and Rob Herring also make way.

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Exeter look to go through the forwards but Scott Wilson gets his hands on the ball and Ulster win the penalty!

  16. Postpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    It's lost again by Exeter! The wee things are going Ulster's way at the moment.

    It's walloped clear by Ulster, but only as far as Paul Brown-Bampoe.

    Exeter have it again, but just inside the Ulster half.

  17. Postpublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Exeter go short but it's forward off a couple of hands in the maul.

    Jack Murphy kicks clear, and Exeter have the line out again, just 10 metres further back than their original throw.

  18. Postpublished at 21:14 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Exeter have the penalty after Jake Flannery, on for Stewart Moore, was pinged for not rolling away.

    Haydon-Wood pops the ball into the corner and Exeter have a huge chance to hit back here!

  19. Postpublished at 21:13 Greenwich Mean Time 17 January

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    Rob Lyttle almost gets the intercept from a wold Be Hammersley pass, but the wing knocks it on and Exeter will have the scrum.

    Fine margins all round.

    Ulster 24-17 Exeter

    So where does that leave Ulster?

    It's still an outside shot and they need to see this one out, but they required a bonus-point to have any hopes of qualifying for the last-16 and they've got it.

    If it stays like this then all eyes will be on the Sharks game on Sunday, but there's a long way to go in this one yet.
