    9 tries last week between these two sides, expect another open game today. Clermont never lose at home, Ulster will have to attack attack attack and see what happens. A LBP would be a great result for Ulster.

    As usual Ulster can mix it with the best behind the scrum, up front their starting pack is competitive, but the bench is a bit short. A huge effort is requrired here.

    Good try from Benders there. You know Ulster are in trouble when they don't even have the best South African born player!

    Why is our defence getting caught so tight.

    That's twice that's happened.

    This is pretty grim viewing so far

    Ulsters attacking shape is all over the place.
    Players too flat because they know they have to get to the breakdown quicker

    Stupid errors.

    When we get the ball, keep it or kick well. But there are just stupid mistakes and when Clermont get it they are clinical and we can't handle them.

    I still fancy we can score points here if we can just look after the ball better. We might just concede 70 points while we're at it.

    Ireland's defense under Kiss had the same issues.

    Oh and the lack of destructive ball carriers is clear for all to see here.
