    Addison can play 15

    Are Hume Curtis and Moore able to play elsewhere. Ludik probably wont be renewed and Faddes too, he is on year 2 of a 2 year contract I guess?

    Curtis seemed to be moving towards 12, but was initially a 10. Having said that his injury profile is very concerning as well.

    Adam McBurney and Rob Lyttle are both under 25 as well.

    Didn't realise Treadwell was still that young...easy to forget sometimes.

    Still pretty clear we need second rows (although njury allowing Hendy should have a good 5 or 6 years left in him), arguably a 10 and maybe another prop.

    Also remains to be seen how good the back rows are, although I'm pretty confident McCann will come good, and probably Rea Jnr as well...I haven't seen enough of Allison yet.

    Just not feeling McBurney anymore, think his initial hype has cooled off and yet to really take control of backup to Herring. Plus Stewart is now in pipeline.

    Agreed about 2nd row & prop. Was shocked to see Milasinovich is only 27.

    We can only hope those backrows keep getting exposure and grow into senior roles. Think you’re right McCann & Rea Jnr definitely look most likely. Really really hope Allison can step up, we could really do with him. Not sure he’ll a big ball carrying 8. Them three could literally transform our squad even if we had 1 each at International, euro & Pro14 level.

    Aaron Sexton is one of the extra players for Ulster so possibly should be involved in match day squads soon enough

    I thought Ulster were actually containing that Glasgow attack very well. For all Mark Robson's hyperbole, Glasgow made about 8m in 15-20 phases. Matawalu took a hard line and had a half break before attempting a needless offload which went to ground. It was that bouncing ball that was hacked through which really put Ulster in difficulty.

    Also, that is a ridiculous call from Owens. He refuses to implement the laws of the game in relation to the high tackles or tackles in the air with great regularity. Certain yellow even in real time.

    Treadwell, Rea, Coetzee and Andrew have been physical in the forwards.

    Moore with a nice line break there, really clever dummy.

    Marty Moore has been very good!

    Hope they don’t switch off in second half

    Take the points surely? We have a whole half to go for the fourth try, Glasgow are playing decent so increase the gap.

    Fair play, they backed themselves. I'd have taken the 3 under the posts though!

    Glasgow haven't been that bad in fairness.

    Mads done well to present ball quickly. Cooney playing like he's a point to prove

    Who's idea was it to show a 5 minute long tribute to licking Leinster's arse segment at half time in an Ulster V Glasgow match?

    Glasgow have been really, really poor for much of this game. Ulster showing some real ruthlessness and some of the young lads stepping up.

    And another...jaysus.
