Murphy was fantastic in a fairly forgettable match. Clermont never really fired a shot, despite Ulster having some key players struggling,i.e McCloskey.
Great win all the same. The coaching team has instilled some belief in Ulster and they are difficult to play against. Coetzee is out on his own. There's no one in the same class as him on the island. Pity he wasn't a project player and qualified for Ireland. Once again, Moore was very good, I think he's going to make it back into the national squad this 6nations. Great effort all around.

Team def fronted up tonight, especially the pack. Disappointed we didn't press home the advantage more but conditions looked really awful.

Best have I've seen from LL in a while, surprised me I'm very happy to say. Burns as well, another great performance.

Saying that, my god Clermont really didn't turn up at all.

I had my doubts about Burns but he is really stepping up and growing with every passing week.

If Cooney continues like this he HAS to be in the Ireland team, and may soon become more of an Ulster legend than Ruan!

Burns has definitely kicked on. He got a good ovation from the Prom as he left the pitch last night too which shows he is now appreciated by the supporters. Good to see. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in an extended Ireland training squad this season

One worry is that Burns was clearly carrying an injury for much of that game.

Fine he gets next week off against the Scarlets, but we need him fit and firing against Harlequins.

Ulster pack starting to look the real deal. That's a great win at home, real contenders this year and taking charge of the pool going into the double headers is key - especially as I back Ulster to beat Harlequins home and away.

If Clermont lose away to Bath they could be out of the running by round 5 depending on how other pools are shaping up.

I think you will get 5 next at home against Harlequins, and 5 at home against Bath.

Just 1 point from Clermont away and that's 19 which I think gets you a home quarter final, 4 away against Harlequins and that's definitely a home quarter and in the running for a home semi.

Great result, decent performance, should have been more.comfortable.

Coetzee, Murphy and Moore were all great.

Cooney and Burns played well.

The change at scrum time nearly cost us big time. Pity Clermont got a LBP, that could be important come the end of the pool stage.

That was a great win

Ludik showing why he deserved to start - so consistent in the air in horrible conditions.

Something about the way both Louis & Cooney play that is inspirational.
I cant quite put my finger on it....but they are max effort for 80mins in every game.

IF Herring, Henderson, Coetzee, Cooney, Ludik & Addison can keep injury free that is a strong & very consistent spine from which to build.
All of them played the 80.
& Fair play to Moore - got to '66.

A fcucking great try from Cooney this eve! Great heads up, courage and skill.

Well done Ulster, looked very good indeed tonight.

Great win

The two young lads getting minced in the scrum by the old heads of Clermont.

Jordi has been excellent.

Person I’ve been most impressed with is Marty Moore. Got through a mountain of work and it’s great to see him playing so well.

Jordi has been excellent.

Nice skills to control that!!

This. Did extremely well there.

I mean, we haven't looked good and there's too many mistakes, but those hits and that try make this worth watching.

All of those trick shot videos paying off for Cooney.

The stat sheet will look good for Cooney but he’s really not doing his Ireland chances much good here. He hasn’t controlled the game at all.

Henderson doing his best James Lowe impression, I'd say EOS got a glimpse of more than he hoped for there.

So. Many. Knock-ons.

It’s pissing down up there I think. It was anyway. Might explain it

So. Many. Knock-ons.

This game is so poor but I'm actually loving the atmosphere. Crowd really getting involved now.

A couple of times I think we've looked dangerous/moderately useful going forward, but we're poor at securing our own ball and are throwing some shocking passes. Clermont defence has looked suspect, so I would've preferred being a little farther ahead at halftime before Clermont have a chance to regather themselves. Tough 40 minutes coming up.

Should be a couple more scores ahead I reckon. Don't think the conditions are helping the cause, but Clermont have really been awful.

Clermont have been muck but it’s a terrible game really.

Excellent kick from Cooney. But he's having a stinker with ball in hand.
