any other links?

I've got the page but the match isn't showing just that it is "Coming up".

bbc excels itself as usual. apparently only the red zone is working

http://www.bbc.co.uk/player/emp/2_0_29/popout/pop.stm

Stick that on until we can find a stream

bbc suck try this folks:

EDIT by RD: illegal link removed, please don't post them. Thanks.

if you have sky page 992 BBC NI

Why is it an illegal link? the bbc is free if you have a licence?
They have their own stream and it is malfunctioning

The Beeb don't even have it on their "Live Score Updates" page!

Has the match been called off and nobody told us and they aren't allowing anyone at the match to tell us either?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17077641

never mind its working now

who got sin binned there? Flicking between the Munster game and this and missed it.

Ulster 0 - 7 Ospreys

It's just appeared on the score page.

It wasn't a Beeb link, Alyn.

Ospreys 7 - 0 up against run of play to be honest. Ulster down to 14 men for an intentional trip. O's look good with the ball, Ulster have had more possession

its on BBC ni lads.

7 nil to the ospreys so far

Jesus the stream has broken down again

Don't think this welsh ref is going to get out of the ground alive lol

What happened?

Ulster back up to full strength. O's defence working well but set piece is pants

Ref is a little whistle happy and lots of decisions going to the O's. Crowd dont like it

Haha we have had more than enough dodgy Irish ones this season, I hope they get a dose of their own medicine for a change!

Last score update I heard was O's 0 - 7 up...any updates?

nope sorry
the stream is still down

its back up again now!
0-7 still

hehehehe your not wrong Alyn. He's not doing a bad job to be honest, it's only his ninth game in charge. Ulster been pinged alot in recent games

I just get a one second stutter! Like a stuck record!

Yeah me too, its a problem at their end then, looks like I'll be downloading it on I player tomorrow

Walker penalised for holding on, Pienaar has missed one and now hits one from far on the right good kick 3 - 7 Ospreys

hahas now their overlapping the Blues V Munster game...

another penalty to Ulster, Pienaars having a pop

this one is on his right side from 45 yards, but hits the post

Yup the bbc stream is back up again now, for a moment anyway.

Anything is better than watching the blues their getting creamed by Munster.

it wasn't a bbc link but at least it works...google the match and hey presto!

fussel having a nightmare under the high ball, low ball, passing the ball. Should be subbed half time!!!!!!

How many players do Ulster have on the field, and where are the Ospreys players?

That idiot should be sent back to the Dragons, he is an awful player...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17077641

It's on there.
the Ospreys have beaten 6 Irish provinces out of 6 so far this season in the league, so lets hope we dont blow this one!

penalty for colaspsing the maul just outside 22 gone to the line out

Ospreys defend well, Ulster have a scrum 5 yards out with 5 secs to play.

3-7 to Ospreys. Pienaar has missed two kicks on goal.

Ref doesn't seem to know thr rules at the breakdown, lineout or maul.

SUFTUM!

Penalty try to Ulster. Bizarre descision. This guy is an idiot.

Ref has awarded a penalty try to Ulster and carded Bigger and he went for a genuine interception!!!! Shocking decision but it was bigger so never mind

Ulster 10 - 7 Ospreys

On what planet was that a penalty try?

Correct decision rodders. Terrible pass by Marshall though. Pitch looks terrible.

Lads he slapped the ball down.

Not sure how the penalty try can be awarded becauase you have to be certain a try would of been scored if the foul had occured and we still had 2 players to tackle the Ulster player.

Odd decision but Ulster probably deserved a try for their dominance in the first half anyway.

It was never an intentional knock down, think the ref is trying to get back on side with the crowd lol

Very strange call to give the penalty try, even if it was a deliberate KO it wasn't a certain try.

Not complaining though we've been on wrong end of some crazy decisions tonight as well.

This guy is one of the worst refs I've seen yet!
