Cave is some defender

I'd still have Earls and BOD ahead of him though

Cave has everything but pace on Earls IMO but BOD and Darce will be starting knowing Deccie.

Earls hands and defense have improved immeasurably in the last too be fair

Not much between them though

Definitely, but they improved from horrendous. Conrad Smith is indentical in build to Cave and sets the blueprint for that type of player.

Above all, I prefer Earls on the wing.

I think Jackson did everything he needed to do. I think he is there primarily for his defence which is certainly better than iHumph's...

Gilroy was unlucky to not get more ball, he looked to do something anytime he had it. Cave did not offer much going forward but his defence was superb.

Fair play to the Ulster lads, some good rugby displayed there.

Gotta say, the Ulster fans are the noisiest and liveliest set of fans I've encountered, great craic at the match today. Can't wait for tomorrow, c'mon Leinster!

Fairplay to Ulster. They have a great team this year. Brilliant to see them back in the final.

Hopefully Leinster can get past Clermont tomorrow and have an all Ireland final.

Yeah, would agree, Ulster fans are by far the best provincial fans in Ireland. Even if they don't create inane rhetoric about it. Mentioned similar at the last match in Ravenhill about how good they are.

Good win for the Ulstermen,

Think the yellow was very harsh, but was evened out by Ferris not getting one later in the half. If Edinburgh learn to hold onto a ball then they have the chance of showing some serious improvement on their Rabo position of this year.

Ulster got a bit lucky, but also did very well to soak up a lot of pressure when needed. However I think they will need to bring a lot more to the table to have a chance against either Leinster or Clermont

Its great to see them back in the final,lets hope the lads join them there tomorrow

Great win for Ulster, I think Edinburgh may feel that they left it behind them, too many errors when they were in the red zone. I was really shouting for Ulster but at times I felt for Edinburgh, they played some decent rugby and Ulster's defence wasn't as tight as against us in Thomond Park.

They're hwere they want to be now and fair play to them, I doubt many had them in a final at the start of the season.

With Leinster probably going to make it tomorrow then it going to be an all Irish final, what an occasion, the noise will be the best yet.

Anyway, congratulations to all in Ulster, truely deserved over the course of the campaign so far.
