What do Ulster need to do here?


Ulster 3 - 0 up, O Connor Peno

Cosmo Kramer

BP win and hope for the best in the other game for the Heiniken QFs, its unlikely though. Any win should do for the Amlin QFs.

Micky Dolenz

Edinburgh 3- 0 up

Micky Dolenz

Ulster 6- 0 up

O Connor Pen

Micky Dolenz

Oh No,

Bath try

Conversion scored

7 - 6

Micky Dolenz

Try and conversion for Stade

3 - 7 for Stade

Risteard

Red card for Grewcock.

Blatant stamping on Ferris in front of the ref. What an idiot.

Micky Dolenz

Danny Crewcock sent off, red card. Bath down to 14

cruiserweight

Well deserved red card for Danny Grewcock

corny

Whats with attacking Ferris. Typical behaviour from Grewcock. He's not too clever.

Micky Dolenz

O Connor Pen

7 - 9 Ulster 34 mins

Cosmo Kramer

Ya. poor old Ferris - he seems to me a magnet for this sort of stuff!

thomond2006

Why did Ulster go with NOC ahead of Ian Humphreys?

cruiserweight

Penalty for Edinburgh, 6-7 now

Simply put, Ferris, as well as being an incredibly good player, is also very good when he wants to be at the sly low level end of cheating - a la grabbing an ankle from the bottom of a ruck. Bonus side of it is eejits like Grewcock (he'll see a nice ban from that i'd say) can't keep their cool, do something stupid, and screw their own team over.

Micky Dolenz

Half time

7 - 9 Ulster

6-7 Stade

Jello

What a try from Trimble!!

corny

Try Ulster! Brilliant Trimble.

cm2000

Trimble, some bloody try

Stev_o

Brilliant try but my god Maddock wanted nothing to do with, why he just stood in the middle of the park with his back turned when Trimble had no one outside him is beyond me.

amacachi

Beautifully done.

Micky Dolenz

Edinburgh go 9 - 7 ahead

Stev_o

Try of the season.

Micky Dolenz

Go on Ulster

cm2000

stade down, could ulster do it? cave try

sock puppet

What an amazing try! Ulster for the Knockouts....

cruiserweight

Another fantastic try, Ulster are doing all that they can, up to Edinburgh now

Micky Dolenz

21-7 to Ulster 50 mins

2 tries to go for BP

Jello

Great stuff from Ulster, would love to see them going through!

sock puppet

What a ridiculous penalty decision. Ttrimble's tackle was fine.

cruiserweight

Argh Edinburgh just missed what would have been an interception run in under the posts

thomond2006

Come on Edinburgh! The inability to complete the consumption of one's evening meal comes to mind.

cruiserweight

Twice in the last few minutes Edinburgh have been inches from the Stade line and twice they have come away with nothing

amacachi

Do Stade just need the losing bonus point to go through?

Stev_o

Got had it to Bath, despite having a muck of season where they'v somehow entered themselves in a relegation battle, they play a lovely brand of rugby once they start going.

thomond2006

Danielli ffs!

Pass the ball!

Certain try if he gave to Simth..

Jello

Certain try for Ulster there if Danielli had passed..

cm2000

try 3, game on

Jello

Try Wallace, 2 mins left.

Micky Dolenz

Come on Ulster

ironingbored

ULSTER TRY WALLACE!

Roanmore

Need quick conversion and win the kick off

thomond2006

Try Paddy Wallace. Nice step but terrible defence from Bath.

Stade get losing BP, Ulster out but will go through to Amlin CC.

First win for Ulster on English soil, fair play.
