    We are so poor, but I'm having the time of my life here.

    It made no sense at all. They are going for the bp

    Sometimes teams go for a drop goal during advantage to say to referee we don't want advantage give me the penalty.

    Why in Earth did Johnston go for the drop goal.


    It didnt look in any sort of direction of the posts


    Ulster didnt look to be going anywhere so instead of wasting minutes maybe they decided just to kick it away

    Listening on BBC NI online radio. Is there anything more appalling/brilliant than Andy Ward's NZ/NI accent?

    That would come firmly down on the "appalling" side, I feel.

    Firmly.

    McDowell surely has to go in the "requires protective earmuffs to listen to" category alongside Nadine Coyle

    McBurney is having an absolute shocker. That's two lineouts he's thrown that have been called crooked. And another one that was crooked but not pulled up.

    Singling out Kelleher's competition I see...

    Throwing is genuinely a strong part of his game. Not sure what went wrong tonight.

    BP win away from home to a Premiership team in s**** conditions is appalling?

    Boy, we have come a long long way in the last 18 months!:D

    Bilston. Sober up. I'm talking about accents.

    Specifically Graham McDowell's.

    There are only two worse accents amongst native English speakers. Posh Dublin and Cork. Fact.

    Ulster look half decent these days. I did doubt them, for a lot more than a second too.

    Great result but to keep things in perspective, not the greatest Quins side ever put out.

    Just a good performance. I thought that Stockdale involvements in the tries was fantastic to see. He is big, strong and fast, hard to stop when he gets going. Set up some great scores, good for him, Ulster and Ireland.

    So Leinster away and then two back to back home interpros against Connacht and Munster.

    Given we'll see the usual A side selections at this time of year, I am predicting we're going to Dublin to gift Leinster their usual 5 points, which will then be reciprocated when Connacht and Munster send up some weak teams for us to beat.

    Hurrah for the pro14.

    Ah don't be harsh, having Ulster visit gifts a lot more than just 5 points.

    There is the bragging rights, highlight reels, ammunition against McCloskey, getting to see our development players again - loads of gifts from our Northern cousin.

    Actually can anyone else smell that?

    Smells like a build up thread to me...

    I'd rather send an A side to Leinster anyway, considering how well their A side played against Glasgow. Rest our main players and target Connacht and Munster. Connacht will probably send a decent side out against us, given we're probably the easiest to get points from, and I have a feeling that Munster will send a mixed team as well.

    We'll send up whatever patched-up team we can put together, basically anyone not in hospital or in plaster, minus all our internationals of course. So it should be a comfortable away win... :p

    Leinster are in our conference, but I reckon we just adopt the view that we're never going to catch them anyway, so losing to them is of little consequence.

    Still, I'm pretty sick of us being so half arsed against Leinster.

    I'm getting fed up with the pro14 full stop tbh.

    If you get a good run with injuries. Marcel in particular, hope that he stays injury free and then Cooney or Burns. If you keep the best team out there then it should all be good, I would still say that the back up is not the best.

    I'm in the south of England most of the year, so the British and Irish League gets my vote anyway. Bristol/Bath/London are great trips then I can catch the a home game or two at Christmas.
