Ah fair play to the forwards, good scrum, good pressure and Boom! Henderson has been fantastic. TBP!

Tigerandahalf · 06-04-2018 08:23PM

2 point swing there.

baas baa · 06-04-2018 08:23PM

McCloskey has some hands. I can't help but feel he's less than the sum of his parts as a player though. Great win Ulster.

vienne86 · 06-04-2018 08:24PM

Great night for Ulster!

foxyladyxx · 06-04-2018 08:25PM

Well played Ulster. . I expected a performance like that.. It reminds me of how Munster played in the aftermath of Anthony Foley's death.

A lot of positives there .

Next season will be something to look forward to with so many good young guys coming along and Leinster players like Jordi Murphy joining the squad.

How’d the academy players go? Have game on record!

Why not? Proven international players.
Ulster should have signed a couple of front row instead. Imo

Probably because bowe and Trimble are on the back end of their career and have been since before they signed their last contract.

Salaries have been on and upward curve over the last few years.

When will he catch up with his 40kg arms!

And suddenly an automatic European spot isn't out of the question.

O'Toole was very impressive around the park but predictably struggled at scrum time. Definitely a keeper though. Dalton made a few mistakes but still worth persevering with. Did well in the lineout.

I don't think Curtis got on.

8 points behind Edinburgh with a game in hand. Amazing the difference a game makes. Still a big ask though.

It's a tough run in iirc. But each game is another opportunity. Best possible result tonight.

MJohnston · 06-04-2018 08:45PM

Cooney and McPhillips have been one of the few bright spots of this season. Hopefully they can continue to build that partnership, really promising.

Edinburgh have to play Scarlets and Glasgow so they could drop points.

At very least, a home playoff against Ospreys or Cardiff is in the bag and that should be manageable.

Is McPhillips staying or going?

I've heard the rumours, but I'm hoping he sticks around. Cooney is the more exciting of the two, but McPhillips has real potential.

First game he played for Ulster, he stood out for me. He was by no means spectacular, but he didn't seem a bit out of place and seemed to have a good head on him. I'd be very annoyed on Ulster's behalf if he left.

bilston · 06-04-2018 09:11PM

McPhillips kicking from hand was excellent.

One way or the other I doubt he will be Ulster's first choice 10 next season.

Cooney's pass isn't the fastest. Although in fairness he was probably stunned to be behind a pack going forward tonight!

BBDBB · 06-04-2018 09:21PM

Have you ever considered a change of career?

joseywhales · 06-04-2018 09:24PM

Super Nintendo Wheatley, a pleasure

Hands Like Flippers · 06-04-2018 09:26PM

I agree MCphillips looks good though for me when play broke up a little he was hesitant particularly toward the end.

Great to see the young guys getting stuck in and doing well.

In fairness Ah Yu held up the scrum well but after about 5 mins he took an age getting back inside. Fairly hopeless for a pro player. ROY any day.

Glaze my nipples and call me Daphne.

A bonus point win, goodness gracious me.

BBDBB · 06-04-2018 09:41PM

Never mind the win Daphne, what about the performance?

a real arm wrestle of a game and Ulster come out on top

and deservedly so

*fetches the glaze

Hi daphne, hiya doin?

I hope they are back playing ASAP. Or it's mob rule.

Yeah, the mob were the ones who left a woman distressed and then boasted about it afterwards.

Some people really don't get it whatsoever.

can we just have a separate Ulster off topic thread...

I just read this elsewhere but it's an interesting point.

If Jackson had a threesome with two women and the next day those ladies texted each other saying "it was like passing around a pogo stick", would anyone care in the slightest? Would those women be told to leave their jobs?

If they said "we sandwiched him like a slice of roast ham", would we be calling them disgusting misandrist's?

Did he leave bleeding, go to a doctor for his injuries, then go to a rape crisis centre, having his genetal exam video taped. Get interviewed by 2 doctors, 3 counsellors, and about 5 cops about what happened that night. Tell his friends he had been raped, tell some of their friends they had raped him. Watch those two women continue their careers as the heroes of their district, going from strength to strength. Take it to court, get quized about it for 8 straight days, by 4 different QCs. Have the expert who examined him critcised for not doing their jobs properly even though that's not his fault. Have everyone involved in the whole thing tell 5 different versions of the story, but for some reason their lies don't matter and your lies do. And at the end of it all get nothing, but thousands of people think you're a liar?

Because maybe in that case I'd find your argument compelling.

Everything that happened post text message happened post text message.

Worth considering when discussing false equivalences.
