Updates in here, but can't be bothered doing a write up.

Henderson in the row for Ulster - good chance to see him there.

Nick Williams out - Shanahan comes in to the bench.

CatFromHue

Haven't you seen the Ireland team?

No one cares about Ulster, not even you!

LOL

Henderson should be with Ireland as should Marshall.

irishbucsfan

Luke Marshall a big bonus. Huge presence in that back line

Amazing that Luke Marshall at 22 is put straight back into the backline as an "experienced option".

awec

Scrappy game so far. Sod all happening.

Wait but I thought he was too inexperienced!

Interestingly he has actually only started 3 HEC games, that one less than his test starts.

connemara man

Very scrappy so far no real continuity Edinburgh should be 3 up cant believe they didnt go for the posts

Have you heard the crowd? They're.....They're.....singing!

We don't want that carry on in the Aviva now do we?

Jesus wearing the Aussie gear to this match

The Gilroy turn in the tackle! Nice

irishbucsfan

Slick from Allen and Cave

awec

Cave with a pass that BOD would be proud of.

ScissorPaperRock

Cave :eek:

ScissorPaperRock

Great to see Gilroy hasn't lost his trademark spinning out of tackles

awec

Crap. Edinburgh try, someone missed a tackle. :mad:

Michael Allen fails to bring man down.

irishbucsfan

Very poor defense, was that Allen?

ScissorPaperRock

Yup Allen should have gone lower there

Yea very bad from Allen, Gilroy had no chance to stop him on the line, a big 8 running at pace against a full back.

awec

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Henderson off injured.

Hagz

That went through the posts

irishbucsfan

Ah poor Henderson. Hope it's not serious.

Went behind the near post and swerved round.

matthew8

I thought it was short.

irishbucsfan

Something really frustrates me when a marginal "not straight" call is given when the opposition don't compete. Yes it's right, but I just feel that's the sort of thing you can let go. It makes no difference!

Holding his hamstring, but looks like he's just sitting taking it easy and doesn't look in much pain. Precautionary I hope.

anyone else got very strange audio on this?

Nope. I have a still frame of it going right it in front of the near post.

That must be it.

awec

Short from a conversion? Really? :eek:

Anyway, 3-5. McKinney penalty.

irishbucsfan

Is Johnny Bell still in charge of defense in Ukster?

chippers

wrong option marshall

In fairness from that position it's a 45m kick. I saw Steyn land one short once, although he went a fair bit back to get a better angle. Sexton did too last year against Glasgow I think, although there was a wind.

awec

Allen injured too.

Andrew on to fullback, Gilroy back to wing.

CatFromHue

It'll be interesting to see how Edinburgh get on as it's beginning to look like they were getting their act together before the International break. It's also around now you'd expect a new management set up to start making a difference.

awec

Tuohy looks like he's ready to smash all round him tonight.

It's just that they have northern accents, that's probably it

awec

That's unreal.

Robbie Diack puts ball to boot with a sublime kick, and Diack and Stevenson both bear down on it.

Great back play from 2 massive forwards.

CatFromHue

He could have gotten a yellow there though. He followed through what that tackle of the guy in the air, he gave the ref a good reason to card him I thought.

Grimebox

Clever kick from Diack, managed to get there even though he was running in slow motion :eek:

awec

Gilroy TRY. Beautiful!

Lovely pass by Cave.

chippers

Cave what a pass!

Artful_Badger

Very slick from Gilroy. Superb pass too.

CatFromHue

Really smart finish from Gilroy

irishbucsfan

BBC Nordy not giving the impression they're too fond of the international selection

UGH BALL CONTROL

ScissorPaperRock

This guy Andrew at fullback is looking like a decent fullback.

What his story?

awec

Darren Cave you absolute beauty. Paul Marshall you absolute beauty.
