    Should be a decent watch, hopefully 5 points. Wannenburg back at Ravenhill. :)

    Should have the BP wrapped up by half time. Couple of suspicious passes in that try.

    Ulster have bombed a few certain try's. They need to clam down a bit.

    Must be tricky for Rory Clegg to play 10 and be commenting on boards at the same time. No wonder Oyannax are ****e

    Job done. Oyonnax are utter cack. Ulster playing some nice stuff without exerting themselves.

    Focus to the later games now.

    Jesus Oyonnax are an embarrassment. The Ulster Ravens would hockey them.

    Bonus point done - but is Points Difference an important factor today? I can't find the "second place" table anywhere

    Anyone see the stat halfway through the half which had Paddy Jackson as the third most successful kicker in Europe this season after round 5?

    Payne is glorious at FB. Jackson pulling the strings really well and one awful pass aside Herring has led from the front really well.

    Of course Oyonnax are poor but the job still has to be done.

    Points difference is used to seperate the teams equal on points.

    It will do us no harm to increase our difference, it was pretty poor before today especially compared to Stade.

    Found the overall table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup#Seeding_and_runners-up

    Looks like we'd want to be racking up as many tries, and to a lesser extent points, as possible.

    Tries are only used after points.

    c) If ranking remains unresolved and/or if clubs have not played each other previously in the pool stage, qualification/ranking will be determined as follows:
    (i) the best aggregate points difference from the pool stage; or
    (ii) if equal, the number of tries scored in the pool stage; or
    (iii) if equal, the club with the fewest number of players suspended under Disciplinary Rules in the pool stage; or
    (iv) if unresolved, by drawing lots.

    Oops, yeah, I was reading the "Where teams have played each other" section which prioritizes tries scored.

    A Leinster win at 3 oclock would be very helpful in that pool.

    I'd be surprised if Ulster don't get to 60 here. Playing well, running it all and making yards for fun
