LIVE: Ulster v DHL Stormers

The DHL Stormers are at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast where they are up against Ulster in a Vodacom United Rugby Championship encounter. Follow the match live here with our updates.

Some late changes to our team with Junior Pokomela and Clayton Blommetjies out injured. Marcel Theunissen and Kade Wolhuter replace them in the starting line-up, with Connor Evans and Andre-Hugo Venter coming onto the bench.

This is the first time that the DHL Stormers have played at Kingspan Stadium, after two epic matches against Ulster at DHL Stadium in Cape Town last season.
