Scythica · 17-05-2019 7:39pm

Glasgow seem way too comfortable with that

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 7:39pm

What a start by Glasgow. Ulster will have their work cut out to contain them.

Shefwedfan · 17-05-2019 7:39pm

Glasgow looking good so far

FrancieBrady · 17-05-2019 7:40pm

On the back foot 3 mins in. Not good.

ScrubsfanChris · 17-05-2019 7:40pm

Pretty pathetic tackle attempt from Burns was it?

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 7:44pm

This isn't good. First chance Ulster get to hold on to the ball, they lose their won lineout.

Bazzo · 17-05-2019 7:51pm

Paddy Wallace should stick to the day job...

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 7:53pm

Glasgow look like they want this sewn up by half time. Ulster have no answers so far.

awec · 17-05-2019 7:54pm

This is awful stuff.

ScrubsfanChris · 17-05-2019 7:54pm

Ah lads....

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 7:55pm

This looks like it will be a sad end to Rory Best's Ulster career.

Trojan · 17-05-2019 7:56pm

Thought Henderson should have had him there.

mogwai81 · 17-05-2019 7:56pm

This could get embarrassing at this rate!

bilston · 17-05-2019 7:57pm

Wake up Ulster

mfceiling · 17-05-2019 7:57pm

Aaand that's it turned off

FrancieBrady · 17-05-2019 7:58pm

It already is tbh

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:00pm

Better by Ulster. Need to get a score here. Won't get many chances with Glasgow defence.

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:02pm

Great chance squandered and Glasgow on top again. This could be a long night.

Squidgy Black · 17-05-2019 8:03pm

This is brutal to witness.

mogwai81 · 17-05-2019 8:03pm

The lineout has looked very dodgy, I was hoping Ulster would scrum.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:07pm

No lineout, no breakdown, not matching Glasgow's physicality. We are nowhere near them

Need to take 3 points here and should have done 5 minutes ago.

troyzer · 17-05-2019 8:07pm

There's nearly an hour of rugby left but you'd be forgiven for sticking a fork in Ulster already.

They look dreadful.

Utah_Saint · 17-05-2019 8:09pm

This is the Ulster I know...none of the these performances like against leinster or connacht.

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:09pm

Points at last for Ulster. Good decision.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:10pm

Nasty collision on EOS. That will be him done by the looks of things

troyzer · 17-05-2019 8:11pm

Yeah, instantly looked really bad.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:12pm

I bet there is a Glasgow penalty coming up here

Trojan · 17-05-2019 8:12pm

I think taking the points is a good idea. The recent move to Irish teams rarely taking the points on offer has concerned me. Build a score. Get a foothold in the game.

troyzer · 17-05-2019 8:17pm

I have no idea how that's a Glasgow penalty

Gray clearly just played the ball on the ground from an offside position.

awec · 17-05-2019 8:20pm

Game over

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:20pm

Ulster are dead and buried.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:21pm

This is a bit of a rude awakening

mogwai81 · 17-05-2019 8:22pm

This is so frustrating to watch.

Trojan · 17-05-2019 8:22pm

Tough gig.

troyzer · 17-05-2019 8:23pm

I knew it would be tough for Ulster but I didn't expect them to get absolutely battered.

Squidgy Black · 17-05-2019 8:24pm

Sheesh. Nothing positive out of that first half really. Glasgow just comprehensively dominating across the park.

FrancieBrady · 17-05-2019 8:25pm

Never got out of the blocks. Was expecting more of a game than that

dregin · 17-05-2019 8:25pm

Genuinely raging at how Ulster are ending Best's career. This is a ****in disgrace.
Their defence can't be described as an utter shambles as they don't actually have one!

OldRio · 17-05-2019 8:26pm

Utterly dreadful from Ulster.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:27pm

Couple of things.

1) Glasgow have been machine like. Their physicality, their pace and accuracy have all been very impressive. Hastings looks to me to be a better out half than Russell as he is less likely to make a balls up. Hogg is dangerous as is their 13. Their pack is blowing Ulster away in atta k and defence

From Ulster's point of view, the lineout is a shambles, they aren't committing men to the breakdown and they aren't playing with anywhere like the intensity of Glasgow.

Glasgow look like they want it more.

Glasgow are playing rugby while mentally Ulster are on Portstewart Strand with their Factor 50 on and a BBQ, beer and 99.

mogwai81 · 17-05-2019 8:29pm

It isn’t so bad when you try your best and are beaten by a better team, but Ulster simply haven’t turned up. I was hoping for the level of intensity Ulster brought against Leinster, but there so far from that level of performance tonight.

awec · 17-05-2019 8:30pm

It's like Les Kiss is back.

sydthebeat · 17-05-2019 8:33pm

Someone drag donnacha backwards through a thorn bush??

locum-motion · 17-05-2019 8:33pm

Has Donncha been bathing in a vat of chocolate?

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:34pm

Donnacha O'Callaghan has just described the Ulster first half performance as unacceptable. He's not far wrong with that comment.

vienne86 · 17-05-2019 8:35pm

He always seems to look like that.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:35pm

I don't know if the Premier Sports presenter was taking the piss or not, but he just called the commentator Greg Laidlaw.

Given he had previously described Scotland's world cup warm up games as world cup qualifiers I'm not so sure.

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:36pm

Surprised Lacey didn't let that play out and then go to the TMO

bilston · 17-05-2019 8:37pm

That wasn't a forward pass
