Ulster Rugby v Exeter Chiefs Live: Updates from Belfast as Richie Murphy’s men look to make European final

Ulster Rugby hosted Exeter Chiefs in the EPCR Challenge Cup semi-final at Affidea Stadium in Belfast on May 2, 2026, with a place in the final at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain on the line. Ulster, coached by Richie Murphy, had previously beaten La Rochelle in the quarter-finals but entered the match on the back of back-to-back United Rugby Championship losses to Leinster and Munster. A win would see Ulster reach their first European final in 14 years, with Jack Murphy among those featuring for the home side.
