number of years kicked off in the last 30 minutes as Ulster take on

Saracens in the quarterfinal of the Heineken Cup. New grandstands have

been opened for the match which has attracted sell-out crowd of more

17,000 people. With the home side looking for cup revenge, the latest

line for a world title fight with Hugo Cazares in the second round of

their fight in Belfast. He should go on to fight Leo

their fight in Belfast. He should go this year. I think Leo Santa Cruz

wants it, I want it, I don't think there is any reason it should not

happen. That is what we are chasing. Hopefully it happens sooner, rather

than later. I genuinely believe he wants to be involved in big fights,

so do I, it is pretty easy to make that fight. Now the weather. Good

evening. After rainy start, not a bad day in the end. Cloudy and mild,

but as we go through this evening I'm afraid we are going to start to

see a little bit of rain through the night tonight, before some more

organised rain just before the dawn, but that means it will be a

mild night. Look at these temperatures, 12 degrees. It does

set the tone for Sunday. We are going to have a cloudy start. This

band of rain is working from West to East during the morning, but after

that we get clearer skies, brighter spells, temperatures into the middle

teens, that is in marked contrast to what is happening across the rest of

the UK. The rain has moved out of Ireland, we will see rain in the

south-east, cloud everywhere across Great Britain, just the west of

Wales missing out on that. Really, we are getting the best of the

afternoon on Sunday, but as those skies clear, temperatures will drop

away on Sunday night. It will be called compared to tonight. Monday

is wet and soggy, quite mild, temperatures into double figures.

Not brilliant, but by the time we get to next week, the high pressure

will establish itself during the middle of the week, and we will see

some settled weather ahead. We will be back tomorrow evening. In the

meantime you can keep up-to-date with BBC your Ulster or a local news

service. Goodbye.
