    FT: Edinburgh 19-40 Ulster

    Wow. What a night for Ulster!

    A dominant second half performance from the visitors saw them race away from a strong Edinburgh performance and leapfrog to second in the URC table.

    I'm not sure many Ulster fans would have believed it if you'd told them that at the end of last season!

    It puts Edinburgh in a tricky position now as they continue chasing the all-important play off spots.

    The rugby excitement of the weekend is only just starting as it's the eve of Super Saturday, so make sure to check out the build-up on the BBC Sport app and website and listen to the games on BBC Sounds.

    A huge thank you for joining us tonight! Until next time...

  3. What does this result mean for Ulster?published at 22:03 GMT 13 March

    FT: Edinburgh 19-40 Ulster

    The six-try performance from Ulster bumps them up to second on the United Rugby Championship table.

    They came into this fixture sitting at sixth place.

    Despite going in 19-14 down at half time and having two cards shown their way, it was quite the comeback in the second half from Ritchie Murphy's men.

    The visiting side managed to stop Edinburgh from scoring in the second half and ran away with an impressive win against a strong side.

  4. 'We have more clarity and belief'published at 22:03 GMT 13 March

    FT: Edinburgh 19-40 Ulster

    Ulster head coach Richie Murphy, speaking on Premier Sports: "We have a much fitter squad than this time last year. We got a bit more clarity and belief in what we're doing, and that shows on the pitch. A lot of those lads were out on the pitch last year but maybe didn't believe they should be there.

    "We weren't perfect but we showed great character. Some of the tries we scored after half-time were excellent. We talk a lot about sticking to our processes and play the game that suits us best, and we seen some of that tonight. I think the belief is what I really enjoyed tonight, this is a tough place to come."

    Ulster's number eight is named player of the match!

    Augustus was back in action tonight for the first time since December, as he has been rehabing an ankle injury he picked up against Connacht.

    What a comeback performance and impact he had. Strong carries, big hits and excellent game play. It was great to see him back in the Ulster jersey.

    Talking to Premier Sport, he said: "It means a lot. I'm happy to be back. It's a good win for us and we hope to keep building on it."

    Loose ball but it's gathered by McCann and Ben Carson is straight under the post!

    Ulster running away with it now. Fantastic try. Carson has been one of the stand outs tonight in my opinion.

    Conversion is successful, with the visiting side strong off the tee tonight.

    Conor McKee (con Murphy)

    Conor McKee is over for Ulster!

    The visiting side start to edge ahead, after a very shaky first half.

    They're starting to grind it out and have played some very patient rugby.

    Jack Murphy sends the ball straight over the post and the conversion is successful.

    Edinburgh 19-26 Ulster

    Ridiculously good take in the air by Zac Ward.

    The winger has had a pretty strong game in spite of Ulster's errors this evening.

    Edinburgh 19-26 Ulster

    Cormac Izuchukwu leaves the pitch for a HIA and the decision is made for Harri Morris' card to get ugraded to a red.

    A total shocker and something that could come back to bite his side.

    Edinburgh 19-26 Ulster

    Ulster working through the phases. Carson, Lowry and Ward with injections of paces for their side.

    Ollie Blyth-Lafferty turns it over and it's another missed opportunity for Ritchie Murphy's men.

    Harri Morris

    Izuchukwu is taken out in the air by Harri Morris.

    Morris is sent to the bin with a yellow card and an off-field bunker review.

    This is the Ulster lock's first game back from a concussion.

    Feels like it should have been a straight red... I'll be surprised if it doesn't get upgraded.

    Scott Wilson (con Murphy)

    Ulster are over for the bonus-point try!

    A pop from Dave McCann allows Scott Wilson to crash down over the try line.

    He extends his arm and the front row is over.

    Conversion is successful and Ulster take the lead.

    Next score is crucial...

    Ulster's forwards are picking and going. Edinburgh pinged twice for offsides, so the visiting side have the advantage.
