    Excellent result for Ulster. Great opportunity next week 😀

    When you put it like that it sounds lovely, but that's not the full story.

    Against 14 men playing terribly, in the first leg of a two-legged knockout game, a 6 point lead is a poor return, especially when they had a 13 point lead at one stage. This tie should be over, but Ulster have allowed Toulouse a chance next week.

    I still think Ulster will go through, but they've made it difficult for themselves.

    Balacoune is class. So athletic.

    I'll take that. Would have been nice to prevent that Ntamack try at the end, but we have it all to play for now.


    Just need to resource our rucks better, sort out lineout and try to bring Lowry onto the ball more.


    Well done on the scrummaging as well - I thought we'd be toast there. All four props - most significantly EOS and O'Toole - held their own. Did we march them back in one and earn a penalty as well?

    Very poor result for Ulster.


    WTF am I reading. Total nonsense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,935 ✭✭✭Paul Smeenus


    Fairly typical nonsense. I think Ulster can be happiest with their position out of all the provinces. That's the current champions we're talking about, with a six point win away from home for us. I wish we'd made more out of it, but bloody hell - this is a team that just got ten players back from an international side that won a Six Nations Grand Slam. It's an ask to win anything away to them.

    Even their non internationals are freakishly good. Those 2 Arnolds and that absolutely massive aussie lock they have were pests all day.

    That lock is possibly the biggest unit I've ever seen.
