    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.

    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

    The scary thing is I can barely tell the difference at lineout time...

    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.

    The lockdown can't come soon enough. Can't disappoint me if we don't play.
