    No Muller is a blow as I think his leadership qualities will be missed given the place the squad are probably in.

    I've always wondered about Cave at 12, now we'll see. Allen has done fine so far on the wing so why not give him a shot in his preferred position? We always knew that Nev would be our back up 13 and indeed a genuine challenger to Cave but now we need to find another back up and Allen may well be that man. The only thing is that I remember watching Allen play a few times for MCB and while he was clearly a standout player, more so than Jackson or Gilroy ever where (when I watched them anyway), he also seemed to lack a great skillset. That's why I think he'll probably end up on the wing but like anyone he can improve his weaknesses so we'll see.

    Looking forward to seeing that back row of Henderson, Henry and Williams and of course it's great to see Tommy back! I think we'll do well to win to be honest given everything but hopefully it's a good match.

    Robin Copeland looks big.

    Great to see Tommy Bowe back

    So Iain Henderson has no hair. That's going to help him shed his baby face image.

    Dunno about that, his first carry was very strong

    Good man Michael Allen!

    Ulster started very slowly but they look great the past few minutes.

    Michael Allen hurt himself scoring the try

    Madness there. Michael Allen injured hobbling off the field, referee penalises him for offside! Commentators not happy.

    I can't believe the referee penalised Allen! Shocking decision

    Nick Williams makes a lot of mistakes but he's so entertaining to watch!

    Really enjoying this Ulster performance so far. Great to see players willing to back themselves & throw the ball around

    Should be a try I'd say

    Shouldve been a penalty to Cardiff though. Henderson was clearly tackled and got back up.

    Williams carries the ball in one hand a lot so he can handoff tacklers. Pros and cons to it I suppose!

    Warburton is so good! Although I was delighted to see Henderson absolutely smash him with a clearout earlier.

    Why would Tom Court infringe in a scrum situation where Ulster are clearly dominant? Bizarre call.

    Also that looked very bad for Jason Tovey, hopefully it's not serious...

    I thought it was the correct call. Looked like he went up to me.

    Good first half. Better than I expected from Ulster given the circumstances. They've been excellent so far. Williams the standout with his carries, but good showings so far from Henderson & Jackson too. Allen looked sharp until he was forced off & the set piece looks strong. Good signs

    Shouldnt have been a penalty. Came off a Cardiff player, which brought Brady onside
