    Ulster tackling like fluffy bunnies at the start of the 2nd half, lucky Scarlets arent out of sight...Scarlets down to 14 now though. Need to step it up.

    Humphries scores another try.

    The difference he makes to the team is immense.

    excellent Danielli break (though speed was sorta lacking) court recycles and all comes to Humphries who runs in unopposed, humphries begining to look a bit tired

    Ulster 20 Scarlets 11

    Ulster will need to improve their defensive tacking massively for next week.

    So many missed tackles and players slipping out of tackles.

    Scarlets intercept and get a try just because Ulster don't like having the game beyond a single score when it goes late ;)

    Bloody Pienaar should of kicked it up the pitch when he had it.

    That man has cost me hundreds with his stupid play this season .

    -6 backers like myself were very hard done by.

    Watching the welsh tv coverage and they are claiming the TMO robbed the scarlets. Karma, Taff.

    We were poor again. Ulster have played 40 minutes of good rugby all season and yet we are looking good for a play-off spot. How? I have no idea.

    You must have oppossed Ulster in the 5 games prior to tonights then because he pretty much won all of them sigle handedly.

    If it was against good teams then maybe but thats five average teams in a row they struggled to beat.

    I see Northampton have handed out another ass whoopin today. Momentum has swung back in their favour I fear.

    Just lulling Ulster supporters into a false sense of security. He's been saving up an almighty amount of shite play for the big occasions.

    Not too sure it was an ass whopping from reports. I didn't see the match but from what I read, Northampton went about 20 points clear, then Sale came back to within a few points at which point they had their hooker sent off and Northampton kicked on and put about 4/5 tries on them.
    If I was an Ulster fan I'd be quietly optimistic, Ulster's form hasn't been the best I know but I think on paper the Ulster team has a lot more class, if some of their players really put in some hard work I think they might win. Ulster also seem to have a large following away, especially in England.
    I think the loss of Ferris might hurt them, he is a one man wrecking machine.
    I really hope they make the semis though.

    And Jamie Smyth goes to the Dragons.
    Any idea why he left? Was he getting no gametime at all?

    He definitely wasn't getting much game time, with Payne coming in he was going to move down the pecking order so it is the right decision for him to go

    Got injured early in the season IIRC and that gave D'Arcy the chance to nail down the shirt. Think he only back fit recently.

    It's the right decision by him to leave, as Ciaran says. Poor Martyn Thomas broke his leg again so Smith will get a run of games in the 15 shirt for the Dragons (assuming he's been signed to play fullback).

    Thats the second time Thomas has broken that leg, I beleive that Dragon's will be playing a winger at 15 for the next while so I presume that Smith has been signed to step into that position.

    Was really impressed with Paddy McAllister again tonight. I know Wright is working his way back to full fitness but McAllister had him bet up a stick in a few scrums.

    He's going to put real pressure on Cian Healy in the near future if he continues to improve as he has this season.
