Dupont this time.28 mins – Ange Capuozzo gets Toulouse’s fourth, and the bonus point. Incredible stuff from the French side.

Action begins to unfold around the middle. Ulster will hope to move through a few phases and settle.21 mins – No try as Ntamack was offside. He came too close to the scrum before getting that ball.
