Ulster secured their place in the Guinness PRO14 semi-finals with a 21-13 win over Connacht at Kingspan Stadium.

Ulster were ahead 11-3 at half-time after taking an early 8-0 lead and the hosts were never headed.
Ulster’s other points - on what was skipper Rory Best and replacement Darren Cave’s final game at the Kingspan - came from a conversion and two penalties from John Cooney.
Connacht, who trailed their hosts by just a point on two occasions, scored one try through Bundee Aki, with Jack Carty kicking a conversion and two penalties.
"It is absolutely brilliant," said McFarland. "We are in it to win it."
