18.58 – Hello, and welcome to this evening’s liveblog. Aironi have been improving of late, so this game may not be quite as easy for Ulster as some people assume.

19.21 – We’ve been playing for less than ten minutes and Gilroy has already produced two sublime takes under the high ball.

Meanwhile, for Aironi, Sinoti Sinoti consummately dodges past two Ulster tackles before being stopped just short of the line. The hosts will need to keep a close eye on him.

19.33 – PENALTY TRY FOR ULSTER!

19.51 – Almost immediately, Pienaar extends Ulster’s advantage to ten points with another confidently-taken penalty.

19.54 – TRY FOR ULSTER!

19.58 – Apologies, TG4′s stream of the game was temporarily cut off, meaning we missed that Ulster try. However, I am reliably informed that Rory Best, the stand-in Ireland captain, scored it. Pienaar also made no mistake with the conversion.

20.13 – TRY FOR ULSTER!

20.27 – Ulster seem to have been taking it easy since that last try. It’s hardly surprising, given that they now have little to play for having secured the bonus point.

Amid all the end-of-first-half excitement, I also forgot to mention that – worryingly for both Ulster and Ireland – Stephen Ferris limped off injured, and was replaced by Faloon.

Rory Best has also just been substituted, with Nigel Brady taking his place.

20.41 – Swift passing across the backline allows Tom Court to storm over the line for his side’s fifth try. The substitute Marshall subsequently gets the conversion, taking up where Pienaar left off.

Take nothing away from Ulster’s highly professional performance, but Aironi gave this game up long ago.

21.09 – Make no mistake, this game was every bit the emphatic victory that the sc0reline suggests. Except for a solitary try, Aironi rarely threatened the hosts, and their inept display was consequently exposed, thanks to a solid Ulster performance.

21.15 – Okay, that’s it from me. Thanks, as always, for reading and commenting, and enjoy your weekend – preferably while reading some more of TheScore.ie‘s upcoming GAA, rugby and soccer-related liveblogs. Laters.
