Orquera makes no mistake with his first attempt and the visitors get the first points on the board early on.

A cracking fixture for us this evening, Santa came early! #StandUpForTheUlsterMen

Zebre win the first scrum of the game and are attacking inside Ulster's 22

And we're underway here in Ravenhill, windy conditions with a slimy surface

Good evening everyone and welcome to todays Heineken Cup encounter as Ulster take on Zebre. Can Ulster continue their fine form in the Rabo to date? Zebre with only a single win to date in the league will look to target Ulster's fly half James McKinney, as Paddy Jackson is rested for todays game. A win for Ulster could bump them up to the second place in the table depending on how Leinster face against Edinburgh. Stay with us here for live analysis throughout.

Up ulster!

Ulster will win
