    No Carter or Coetzee for Ulster, the pack looks pretty underpowered.

    On the plus side Billy Burns is back at 10.

    Gloucester with Lloyd Evans at 10, also a chance to see Rees-Zammit in action.

    Never realised he’s only 19.

    Hopefully O’Connors can give us some/semi parity.

    I'd like to see that turnover by Gloucester again.

    Shocking defence there!

    Gloucester just look like making ground every attack

    Our back row getting destroyed already

    McCloskey fell off a tackle really badly there.

    The Gloucester defence opened up like the red sea there for Burns. He has started really well.

    Nice work from burns. His initial wide pass set that try up.

    2 yellows and a penalty try all from yet another amateur lineout attempt on the half way line.

    To be fair, they had a prop throwing in with a 2nd row in the bin

    How was that down to a bad Ulster lineout?

    Glad to see that given. Too often players tackle and drag grounded players into touch.

    It must be said, Ulster have managed this 13 man period magnificently. Gloucester crowd are frustrated.

    Ulster screwed up at a lineout that lead to those 2 yellows and PT.

    All things considered, 17-10 at HT is not too bad at all from an Ulster perspective. Big 2nd half needed with qualification Hopes on the line.

    Should have taken a 3, within 1 score of leading and Gloucester going in on a low without taking advantage of the extra men.

    Used to winning mauls when we have some forward grunt, not with this pack though

    12-14 points originating from a soft penalty off a lineout from Ulster. Again is lineout work optional at training?

    Yeah losing your 3 first choice 2nd rows and best ball carrier would hurt any team.

    I would hope a professional rugby team would still be able to have a functioning lineout at the very least.
