KEY EVENT

Full-time: Bulls 47-21 Ulster

It's all over in South Africa and Ulster have fallen short of taking any points away from South Africa. But there were plenty of positives for the province against a near full-strength Bulls side. Too many penalty concessions in the first half ultimately proved costly, but Ulster kept going to the death to put some respectability on the scoreline.

KEY EVENT

Bulls try! Bulls 47-21 Ulster

The Bulls extend their lead as Elrigh Louw, who has been exceptional for the home side, gets over the line. Ulster still have time, though, to get a bonus point try.

KEY EVENT

Ulster have a third try!!! Bulls 40-21 Ulster

Attacking from their own half, Ulster go wide and Shanahan and Lowry exchange passes to keep alive before it is passed inside to Stewart Moore get over the line - great try from Ulster, who are one try away from a bonus point.

73 mins gone

KEY EVENT

Ulster try!!! Bulls 40-14 Ulster

Ulster have never laid down in this match, and they come forward, working hard at the breakdown. James Humphreys, on off the bench, plays a brilliant pass out side to Ben Carson, who pops on the wing and backs himself against a Bulls defender, charging through the tackle and over the line! Humphreys's conversion is just wide of the posts.

70 mins gone

KEY EVENT

The Bulls get another try! Bulls 40-7 Ulster

The Bulls intercept an Ulster lineout and go on the counter-attack. The gaps open for the home side before Chamberlain dummies a pass and then straightens up his run to go over the line.,

Canan Moodie gets over the line for the Bulls but it has been ruled out after replays show that Willie le Roux obstructed without the ball. The home side are dominating this game though.

KEY EVENT

Bulls get their fifth try! Bulls 33-7 Ulster

After a very competitive period in the match, it is the Bulls who get on the scoreboard again. Hanekom, grabbed the ball from a lineout from 5m out and drove the maul forward over the Ulster line.

57 mins gone

KEY EVENT

Bulls get a fourth try! Bulls 28-7 Ulster

The Bulls start the second half as they did the first. Kriel picks a good line to split open the Ulster defence passing to Canan Moodie who scrapes over the line. Chamberlain adds the extras and the home have a commanding lead now.

42 mins gone

KEY EVENT

Half-time: Bulls 21-7 Ulster

Ulster threaten the Bulls try line but then Aidan Morgan knocks it on carelessly, and the half-time whistle sounds. Bulls have been the dominant force in the scrum and that has been a big difference in a match in which both sides have looked good with the ball in hand. Stockdale scored a sensational try for Ulster but that has been cancelled out by three tries from a Bulls team littered with quality.

KEY EVENT

Bulls try! Bulls 21-7 Ulster

Pressure tells from the Bulls as they win another penalty from a scrum and this time decide to kick to the corner. From the lineout they get a driving maul going, with Johan Grobbelaar getting the ball down for the try. Chamberlain gets the extras to give the Bulls a 14-point lead.

35 mins gone

Eamon Doggett

Ulster's Corrie Barret sent to the bin - Bulls 14-7 Ulster

The referee warned Ulster that any more infringments at the scrum would force him to send someone to the bin, and that man is Corrie Barrett. The away side down to 14 men for the next ten minutes.

31 mins gone

Eamon Doggett

Bulls 14-7 Ulster

The Bulls are demolishing Ulster at the scrum and conceding a lot of penalties. But the away side are very much in this game at the moment and acquitting themselves well in the loose.

28 mins gone

Eamon Doggett

Bulls get a second try! Bulls 14-7 Ulster

Similar to the Ulster try, Willie Le Roux hits an inch-perfect crossfield kick to Chamberlain on the wing who then passed it inside to David Kriel to run in for the try!

15 mins gone

KEY EVENT

Ulster try!!! Bulls 7-7 Ulster

What a respons from Ulster! Aidan Morgan with a crossfield kick to Jacob Stockdale who takes on and beats Arendse before chipping over the next defender and collecting the ball before barging over the line - sensational try from Stockdale!

10 mins gone

KEY EVENT

Bulls try! Bulls 7-0 Ulster

Ulster give away a penalty at the turnover giving the Bulls the opportunity to kick to the corner. The Bulls lineout doesn't go to plan but they recycle and end up going wide where Sebastian de Klerk gets the ball over the line, but replays should he was in touch, so the try is ruled out. We go back for a Bulls penalty. They take the scrum and get quick ball. Kurt-Lee Arendse spins away from one man before jinking and weaving and reaching for the line! Chamberlain converts the try.

Good afternoon - Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White on today's game

"This will be the strongest team we have fielded in four years from an experience point of view, and an achievement point of view," says Director of Rugby Jake White.

"We have Springboks in key positions and even on the bench.

"We all know that just because you have a strong team does not make anything automatic but it is exciting to see that our four years are coming together now. We have a front row and a backline of Springboks.

"There is still a job to be done, this is a big game against Ulster, who have also managed not to roll over because they are a good team. They may not have got the results but they have toured South Africa very well in the past and I expect it to be a tough game.”
