Ulster vs Glasgow Warriors URC preview as the sides meet at the Affidea Stadium in Belfast.
Ulster currently sit eighth in the table; they would make it into the playoffs, but are only one point ahead of Connacht going into the final game. There is an outside chance that they reach the top four as they sit four points behind the Bulls.
Glasgow enter the final game top of the table, one point ahead of the Stormers, who travelled to Belfast last week. A bonus point win secures them the top spot.

With 15 minutes to go, they had conceded twice and were 31-26 behind. Ulster went on to score two more and were seven ahead in the last moments. Nathan Doak looked to have held up the Stormers over the line, but a high tackle was called and a penalty try awarded to leave the game 38-38.
