    Great kicking by McPhillips so far

    Two silly errors from the dragons within the first 5 minutes meaning a turnover in possession.

    Probably would've been a yellow if that hadn't been scored.

    Impressed with McPhillips so far, seems to be really up for it

    Second slap down in the red zone within 5 minutes so yellow was certainly on the cards. Still is if another infringement in the Dragons 22 any time soon.

    Since when did we get hoighty toighty enough for our own match threads?!
    Balacoune looks like he's really nervous so far but seems to have a bit of zizz about him.
    Noticed Rory has brought out a bit of venom to him today. Some vicious clearouts

    The difference in Ulsters defensive shape since the start of the season is noticeable, starting to look very organised

    Ulster are pretty woeful. Some good players and Lowry is a star in the making.

    That was some break and offload from Henderson

    Only a 'world class' player like Henderson could keep playing after losing a boot.

    I'd take Lowry over Haley to be honest.

    A couple of things from the first half.
    Lowry. A joy to watch.
    The Ulster Scrum. Just awful against this Dragons team without their first pick forwards.
    The Ulster lineout. What is going on?

    There are some players you pay the entrance fee to watch. Lowry and Addison are in that bracket.
