Interested to see this one. Gwan Ulster

Plenty of physicality with Ulster tonight...big back row and Big Stu in the centre.
Consistency needed this year...no more big performances then being brutal the next time.

Reasonably confident this year.

Watch Munster on the laptop so

Two daft penalties in as many minutes. Not the best start from Ulster.

vienne86

Well that was a let off for Ulster! What a miss!

molloyjh

Some decent stuff from Cheetahs so far. Ulster need to get hands on the ball.

Scythica

Taxi for Diack so far

Diack being pushed back in the tackle as usual...

Wow! That was nearly a brilliant try for Cheetahs.....good tidy up by Cooney, who looks like he's been with this team for years.

awec

Nice try cheetahs.

Rosko Specman is lethal in 7s.

vienne86

Cheetahs get the first try - very very well taken. I'll tell yah what, these guys are good to watch. Great pace.

Take about leaving the door wide open though.

Entertaining start to the Pro14 anyway. Thumbs up for those 3 Cheetah fans too.

Decent conversion. Cheetahs look better than I thought they'd be.

Nice of Ulster to make the southern hemisphere team feel at home by not defending.
