But they will be aggrieved by the fifth minute red card shown to Jared Payne after a collision with Alex Goode.

Bryn Cunningham was part of our commentary team for the match at Ravenhill and he believes the Ulster player were hard done by.

"I definitely don't think it was a red card. As a former full-back myself, I've been involved in plenty of those types of collisions. It's a 50:50 ball. There's no doubt that whenever Jared Payne ran for it, he was probably slightly clumsy in how he went in and the fact that he didn't get off the ground made it look worse. But his eyes were on the ball the whole time and he landed very awkwardly himself," said Bryn who felt it did not even warrant a yellow card.
