Toulouse v Ulster match thread.

Shehal

Gwan Baloucoune!!!!!!!!! Hat-rick!

corny

French director trying hard to influence the decision.

ongarite

He could be offside.

Got to be the most toxic home crowd I've heard in a while

AbusesToilets

got away with that one

Clegg

Toulouse are a bit of a rabble tbh. They've struggled badly in the last few months. This will be their 9th loss in their last 13 matches.

They're incredibly inaccurate in their play and make so many mistakes.

OldRio

Sweet. Hat trick it is.

That is the freakiest of freak injuries. Jesus

Baloucoune you fukcing beaut. He's been absolutely phenomenal today. His tries will get the headlines, but defensively he's been brilliant too. He reads the game so well, such an intelligent rugby player. Combine that with electric pace and you've got some player.

Dupont has had an absolute mare today, it has to be said.

Think I’d still far rather Ulster than them in a knockout game.

Toulouse have been very poor this evening. Ulster should look for the juggler and they can extend this lead even further.

Strumms

Never a penalty

stephen_n

Warwick very lucky not to be pinged for holding on.

Dupont is ridiculously skillful.

Clegg

Wow

Toulouse bottled winning that game

awec

Tried our best to throw that away.

AbusesToilets

Ulster barely scrapped that. Very poor overall given the advantage they had.

A-Train

Ulster nearly lost it at the end.

Great result. And I think Ulster would have been right in it even without the red. Set up beautifully for next week.

As poor as Toulouse have been Ulster have absolutely failed to put them away. Against 15 men I can’t see them beating them.

crisco10

Ulster just kept kicking the ball to toulouse there. Was infuriating, they felt their way into the game via all the possession.

TRC10

Very poor result for Ulster.

14 man Toulouse were dreadful, that tie should be done and dusted. Ulster needed to make hay there in in the last 20. But Toulouse could very easily win by 6 next week. Ulster would really have you pulling your hair out.

corny

Both sides gave everything to that. Credit to them.

Ulster should win next week. The influence of the crowd on that game can't be understated.

letowski

Still to win in Toulouse is an achievement. Though a 6 point advantage feels a little like a pyrrhic victory.

Clegg

Interesting that the away side has won every game in the round of 16 so far.

Up to Munster to keep the run going.

awec

I’d have taken a 6 point advantage before the game. No question!!

Well beat them in Belfast IMO.

There are some giant Aussie locks playing in France. Does anyone know the current rules about playing for the Wallabies?

They changed it recently so Skelton and Arnold have been playing for them the past year.

AbusesToilets

For a team with such physically large centers, Ulster really struggle to commit defenders. They weren't consistently compressing Toulouse's defensive line.

bilston

I can't believe the negative narrative about Ulster in this thread (well.I can actually because it always happens), but it just baffles me.

Great to take any kind of lead back to Belfast.

The other Irish wingers must be sensational to be keeping Baloucoune out of the team.

Great result.

Absolute nonsense.

Any win in Toulouse is a fantastic outcome.
