Edinburgh vs Ulster, Sat 5th Sept 7:35pm

The pick of these two teams wouldn’t pressure Leinster one bit.

I half wanted Edinburgh to score another so I could turn this off, but Lyttle goes and gives me a little bit of hope, which will only make the next 25 minutes all the more painful.

Stop giving them simple possession.

And they immediately overthrow the line out by a mile.

If there's a hooker who can make his tackles and hit his jumpers in Ireland right now, he'll be the test hooker.

Awful from Embra. Had a chance to clear and get the ball off the park

That’s Chris Dean for you. There are better centers in Scottish league.

Lovely finish by Lyttle

Spoke too soon.

Buer

Lowry, McGrath and Lyttle all p*ss poor there.

I've never seen defence like this. Abysmal.

Utah_Saint

We look like Ulster under Kiss...

Podge_irl

Sigh. Ulster are a shambles.

P.Walnuts

Lyttle with three embarrassing tackle attempts there, shocking stuff

And other such things that age well.

Ulster with some shocking attempts at tackling. Life line back into the match and let Edinburgh back in so softly

After filling the house with expletives and a ticking off from the wife I just have.

Buer

Take the bloody points for once. Make it a one score game.

Nope, to the corner yet again.

Buer

Great call to go for the corner. Brave. Fierce.

Respect to Ulster for the right call.

A-Train

A good response from Ulster. A decent try.

I've always believed that Ulster's maul would pay off.

Never once doubted them.

Great maul. Best maul of all time.

Buer

Shut up, Buer.

Look at the size of Marty Moore. He looks like he has eaten a prop.

Buer

Ulster now playing with the hunger and intensity that was missing for the past 3 weeks. Hunting the opposition and hammering into tackles. You can see the shift in their demeanour out there.

Podge_irl

Coetzee is quite good. Can't imagine what he thinks about those around him

Well, I think we now know why we haven't seen Milasinovich yet.

Locke_Lamora

I appreciate him being here and all, but I'd actually love to see what he could do in a team like Leinster. Probably the best backrower on the island.

Successful jinx!

Buer

Coetzee is completely shattered. You could see him doubled over before that pass came to him.

Some other guys need to step up right now and take some responsibility if Ulster are going to do this. Coetzee is on fumes. Credit to Treadwell who is putting his hand up repeatedly to take on some of the carrying but others are conspicuous but their absence in carrying.

David Nucifora

Another knock on.

Buer

Mathewson has done well in terms of clearing the ball away but he looks a little tubbier than he did in Limerick and isn't exactly sprinting to rucks. Has there been an effort to beef up the team in Ulster? Multiple players looking heavier than they used.

ScrubsfanChris

Edinburgh now having a rest at every break in play. Just keep the pressure on.

Except Jordi seemingly.

Squidgy Black

Alby doing some fierce winding up at the end of that ruck

Buer

If Marty Moore is on top of you, you're going to need a forklift to get out of the way of the ball coming back.

Buer

GO TO THE CORNER!

Buer

Ian Madigan, you were signed for this moment.

Diabhal Beag

Great stuff. Hope Ulster close this out now.

A-Train

Ulster maul to the rescue. A massive kick coming up

This second half has been a bit bat****.

sydthebeat

Pressure is for tyres

Podge_irl

Best hooker hair since Szarzewski

Brilliant stuff. Didn't see the game going this way but Ulster's bench has turned this around.

Completely different game to the first half.

P*ssing ice cubes.

The head of hair! Luxurious.

Great kick Ian Madigan!

A-Train

Some final 4 mins here.

Buer

Get the ball the hell out of your half. Do not play rugby near your posts.

Larbre34

This is fierce entertaining.

Have to favour Ulster's gas tank to shade it
