Should be good.

ongarite

Should be a great game.

Ulster need to score first or hold off Toulouse pressure for first 10 minutes.

Clegg

Silly challenge from Baloucoune.

Never even attempts to pull out of the tackle and turns his back in the air on contact. Deserved yellow.

Dillonb3

Yellow card and penalty against Ulster. Not a great start

Boscoirl

Soft yellow

awec

Two soft yellows IMO

Have a bit of that. They won’t try that quick line out again.

They probably will though

Lovely try. Dupont is human after all.

hold my beer

Nice finish

ongarite

Beautiful!

And ulster **** up the restart.

murtyd17

Great kick from dupont

Dillonb3

Terrible try to give away

hold my beer

Toulouse are lethal. Ulster gonna have to go up a few gears

ongarite

Yikes

crisco10

Ulster need to survive the next 5 I think

murtyd17

14 points from nothing for Toulouse. They are so dangerous

Ulster had this in the bag.

I went to the toilet.

I came back.

crisco10

Against toulouse, its never in the bag!

Shehal

"Best line out thrower in Ireland"

hold my beer

That was excellent

crisco10

What a finish.

I thought burns kicked it too high, but on 2nd viewing it actually helped mcilroy cos it made him untackleable while he was in the air.

Absolutely brilliant. Amazing.

OldRio

Well this is rather good.

It’s been a good while since ive watched Ulster play but this is a great game. No offence but yet another Leinster vs Connacht just isn’t in the same league as knockout vs Toulouse. The Ulster back three look very handy. The key is the Toulouse halves. They’ve been a bit off their game but created a try out of nothing.

FrancieBrady

Brilliant score. Work cut out for Ulster to stay ahead here.

Brewster

Was always going to be the game of the weekend…. On a knife edge. Next score is a big one I feel.

Herring most probably is the best line out thrower in Ireland. I suspect your comment was because he made a mistake?? Not necessary.

Strangely, I just can't see them doing it. But ulster worked hard to create their tries, toulouse scored twice from their own half.

Burkie1203

Who is Blaine McElroy? Trimble keeps saying that name

Ill go along with that the day I see this to be true.

If Ulster get through this I hope they can play the QF at Ravenhill and aren't forced to Lansdowne because the atmosphere is really great.

TRC10

Henderson's indiscipline would drive you f*cking insane.

The ref was screaming at him to leave it and he kept going at it. It was the same against England in the 6N. He needs to sort his discipline out.

crisco10

I'm confused by that penalty call, if he called hands against Henderson, how was it not hands in the ruck by he toulouse fella who Henderson was trying to rip it off??

TRC10

Ulster are playing with fire here.

Trying to kill the game with 30 minutes to go is a very dangerous game to play, especially against Toulouse.

Stop box kicking everything and keep playing

Burns is having a very good game.

crisco10

Toulouse haven't had a ssustained attack yet have they??? 55 mins in

Pivotal turnover. Ulster playing great stuff.

crisco10

I still this has last 10 heartache written all over it. Hope I'm wrong.

crisco10

Another yellow??

Burkie1203

Red card

Uh oh. Lowry in big trouble here. He's going for the ball but that does not end well.

Edit - lands on back so maybe just a yellow.

Edit edit - not going to be a card, thankfully. I think this is both sensible refereeing and very lucky from Ulster's POV. Toulouse will feel they got a red for something similar in the first leg.

hold my beer

Nothing in that. Good contest

Yellow at worst, could well just be a penalty.

ongarite

That will be red

TRC10

What's Lowry supposed to do there?

His eyes are on the ball the whole time and he goes up to catch it and nearly does.

crisco10

Huge let off.

TRC10

Correct call.

Correct decision.

Shehal

Holy **** a ref with common sense!!!
