Ferris returns to the Ulster side at openside.

Good luck to Ulster, they need at least a losing BP IMO.

I wonder what's going on with Dan Tuohy, he's still behind Barker. With the Ireland squad to be announced on Tuesday, Tuohy might not make it.

Good to see Nevin Spence on the bench.

On a light note, Biarritz's fullback once did this.

lologram

Would that be 3pm Irish time and 4pm in Biarritz, yeah? I don't want to turn it on, only to find it's already the second half :pac:

thomond2006

Yeah 3pm Irish time. Can't edit the thread title.

PhatPiggins

Touhy is behind Barker just as Ryan is behind MOD because although they are good broken field runners etc they still don't do the secondrow basics well enough.

Ulster to get nothing today I fear. Biarritz far to experienced to handing out losing BP's in what could be a tight finish for first place.

TitoPuente

Terrible pity you can't do the 'Sky red button' deal on UPC. I really want to watch this match. Might see if I can dig out a stream somewhere.

thomond2006

Ulster starting well. Pienaar with kick at goal here.

Missed it.

sock puppet

Pienaar taking kicks again. Should really be Wallace or Humphries.

thomond2006

Pienaar makes no mistake a second time from a similar position.

Biarritz 0 - 3 Ulster, 13 minutes gone.

Yes.

Haylett Petty with a horrendous kick on the full, under no pressure at all.

thomond2006

Still 0-3, Ulster coughed up the ball in the Biarritz 22 unfortunately there.

They're the better team at the moment.

Mushy

Great tap tackle.

thomond2006

Great stuff, Ulster with a 5m scrum after a hack at the ball in their own 22!

thomond2006

ah ffs chance butchered. Pienaar's pass looked telegraphed.

Mushy

Would've been great if Ulster could've capitalised on the great follow up to get a try.

Mushy

Penalty Biarritz, 3-3 after 35 minutes

Mushy

Great block down Ulster, should've been a try. If only was a back who got hold of it.

Redsock

Criminal! We have been in excellent scoring positions and we blown them. Good sides just don't do that. Frustrated as hell.

Mushy

Lets hope the defence holds up now so they don't regret the chances.

Mushy

Try Biarritz, 10-3

thomond2006

30 - 8

Actually, it was 35 - 15 at full time. Ferris scored after a quick tap and Pienaar just drop kicked the conversion so that Ulster could escape the pitch quickly. Don't blame them after that score

I didn't see the last part of the game and saw "35 - 8 FT" on BBC's score updates.
