    That racing back line is full of class. Thomas, Zebo, Imhoff and the main man Finn

    Zebo's living up to his diva nature alright. Picked the wrong sport it seems.

    He was a decent hurler too. He plays like a French lad with his silky skills and the is a big loss to Ireland as someone to bring in with 20 to go.

    Less of the Delon Armitage pointing please Simon.

    Further to this, I'd be happy in a a similar situation for the defending team to be given a penalty from halfway instead of the restart. It would stamp this out.

    One of those proved they had no class tonight.

    Poor setpiece, poor defence and terrible handling.

    McBurney probably should have hit Zebo a bit harder.

    Anyway, hope he enjoys watching Ireland on the telly. Classless.

    Lowry will have the last laugh when he ends up with more Ireland caps than Simon anyway.

    A big loss? Stockdale, L'Amour and Earls are all better than him. He won't be missed.
    He should have stuck with the hurling....act the dick there and a belt of hurl in the gob would soften your cough.

    Not remotely out of character for Zebo either.

    He's a fraud, on every level.

    Maybe on his form from 2010-2014 or so, but almost certainly not in the last few seasons.

    Absolutely coasting for Munster the last few seasons.

    Equally with Thomas, Zebo, and Finn, lads that lose their head and interest.

    How are those lemons? Zebo gave great service to Munster and Ireland. He celebrated a try like he he did many times for Munster. You would think he kicked a lad by some of the comments here.

    He didn't get the bollocking for his celebration, he got it for what he did before he scored it.


    Anyway, we'll move on. He's a non-entity now.

    Earls is injured too much, Larmour is young and has a lot to learn. Stockdale will be offered big money to leave sooner or later.

    An awful lot of positives there for Ulster.

    A lot of the things that cost Ulster on the scoreboard are easy to rectify. Ulster's attitude in the toughest of away fixtures is brilliant to see and when absent is a very difficult fix. They never folded in on themselves despite the score getting away from them - but the most heartening thing is that the entire team looked absolutely shattered after 60 minutes but they were still hunting territory and scores.

    The pack were better, Henderson looks back to his best but lots of good performances under severe pressure. Stockdale and McCloskey impressed throughout and Addison is the real deal, going to get an Ireland cap in November - I'm sure of it.

    Loads of small errors at the worst time cost Ulster and some acceptable lack of awareness from young players and some unacceptable lack of awareness from experienced players (Gilroy) heaped pressure on Ulster.

    Set piece still a vulnerability and that's not going to be an easy fix, but Racing have a galactico pack so any weaknesses are going to be on full display.

    To my mind, the things that were the hardest to fix are looking much better. The foundations are there and some more experience, a signing or two and a bit more cohesion and Ulster are heading in a completely new direction.

    With a few slightly less harsh decisions and the removal of a few basic mistakes and that scoreboard is a LOT tighter. Can't speak for Ulster fans but I took great satisfaction from seeing the Ulster men stand up.

    I don't think so in the slightest, had it been any player it would have been disappointing - that it was an Irish international makes it bad form imo. Zebo is a bit of a dick tbh.

    He celebrated before scoring against a 4 cap youngfella.
    If he'd done that at Munster then you can sure as shít believe he'd be put back in his box as we was a few times during his career.

    He pointed and laughed at Michael Lowry who was chasing him before he scored the last try. Celebrated before scoring by trying to make a dick out of a guy playing in his 4th ever game.

    What a disgraceful comment by a mod to an Irish rugby player. Jordi Murphy will be looking to move down that M1 fairly lively.

    Zebo has always been like that, no surprise. Pity McCloskey didn’t get a go at him. Zebo didn’t seem to want much to do with him unsurprisingly.

    Ugh. Does he not remember when he was in Lowry's position?

    I can't stand players like that. Your team won by multiple scores. Have some decency.

    I could get over a pre-try celebration but taunting a young player making a breakthrough when your team is already a good bit ahead?

    Joe was right about him. Good riddance.

    Actually glad Zebo did it now seeing some of these comments.

    Could well have been needle during the game.

    I think Gilroy showed today why he won't ever get another look in with the Irish team.

    Clueless in defense, some brain fart moments, and trying to offload with one hand, which he hits off himself... While his other bloody hand was free..... Tut tut

    Think some of you are overestimating what Zebo brought to the Ireland team. Decent player but nothing special and was quickly replaced by someone better.

    Zebo has bundles of talent but he has a stinking attitude to go with it.

    Earls = better than zebo
    Stockdale = better than zebo
    L'armour = better than zebo

    As I said...he won't be missed

    Why was Addison never selected for his own country? With the depth at centre we have currently do we need to be capping an England reject there?

    Addison is a very good player but he is more likely to find himself getting capped in the back 3 then the centre.
