Ulster Team Talk Thread IV... Go On My Henderson...

That's an awful hit Herring just took.

Hope he's ok.

Clegg · 16-12-2023 08:15PM

Ulster's lineout is a shambles. Lost three of their own throws in a row.

And the fourth is crooked. What a mess.

Clegg · 16-12-2023 08:23PM

This is a genuine game of tennis. Ulster have no set piece at all so have you run everything.

Clegg · 16-12-2023 08:31PM

Ulster have lost 9 lineouts yet are winning 14-0.

Mad Ted.

16-12-2023 08:33PM

Lineout is worrying but attack is way better,

FrancieBrady · 16-12-2023 08:37PM

very disorganised there, gifted him the run in

Utah_Saint · 16-12-2023 08:47PM

Not really sure how we are winning 21-5 ?!

We actually look fairly poor at times. Racing just trying to be a little bit worse

Clegg · 16-12-2023 09:04PM

Le Garrec is taking the piss with those behind the back passes.

That's his second 20+ metre pass tonight.

Burkie1203 · 16-12-2023 09:09PM

Some display by ulster so far

OldRio · 16-12-2023 09:10PM

2 mauls set up and 2 trys.

FrancieBrady · 16-12-2023 09:29PM

Jez, don’t blow it now Ulster

FrancieBrady · 16-12-2023 09:46PM

Good win.

Scythica · 17-12-2023 08:21AM

Are we brill again?

Utah_Saint · 17-12-2023 09:16AM

Of course...new contracts all round!

awec · 17-12-2023 10:49AM

We played well, but I was surprised at how poor Racing were.

Had a similar reaction when Leinster played them last year. Surprised how poor they were at times. Less than sum of their parts at moment.

Aye! Matty Rea the next Lions star!

Ardillaun · 18-12-2023 01:39AM

Was Baloucoune impeded on Racing’s first try?

Siya's waking up to find Matty Rea PJs under the tree I hear.

Fair play to Ulster. It was a needed showing, can they move on from here now I guess is the question. All this does is stem the tide of the issues we have. It doesn't reverse the flow.

Also I'm going to first game at home in about 10 years so it'd be nice to have a win! Where's best to park these days?

Locke_Lamora · 18-12-2023 08:37AM

I usually park on one of the residential streets off the Cregagh, not too far to walk from there and easy to get out of.

keep in mind there are bus and rail strikes next week so parking will be a lot more scarce.

Utah_Saint · 18-12-2023 09:19AM

the translink strikes and being the last weekend before Christmas will have an affect on traffic.

I usually park on Ravenhill road. Never had a problem getting a space. Always park facing back towards the city for a quick exit when leaving.

Dubinusa · 21-12-2023 03:37PM

Ulster put in a nice performance v Racing. Except the line out. Hume was absolutely phenomenal. He's playing very well. Ewers is a good addition. Big physical lad.

Utah_Saint · 22-12-2023 10:55PM

A win, but million miles from convincing. Papers over cracks. Gonna be a long season

Paul Smeenus · 22-12-2023 11:13PM

I don't think that papers over any cracks. We scraped a win; take the four points and move on. We were mince, we got away with it.

Paul Smeenus · 22-12-2023 11:23PM

Doe anyone know the score of Munster Development Vs Ulster Development?

Paul Smeenus · 22-12-2023 11:37PM

40 - 7 to Ulster. On website

Locke_Lamora · 23-12-2023 06:28AM

First time I’ve been to three games in a row so I’m beyond proud we’ve pulled off two wins.

season is long and there’s plenty of time for Ulster to let me down, but until then..

merry Christmas

Locke_Lamora · 23-12-2023 06:28AM

Anyone know how the development game went?

Report on the Ulster site said a very comfortable 40-7 win for Ulster.

bilston · 23-12-2023 09:51AM

I'm happy, just because I thought we'd probably lose, so we'll take the win.

Ulster started well and then from then it became a dogfight. Connacht are a good side, and if we played them 10 times on neutral territory I don't think there'd be a lot between the sides. That's just where we are at the minute.

Player wise I'm not convinced about Flannery unfortunately. He has some nice touches but I think there is a bit of a gap between Burns and him, particularly in game control, but still I'm keen to see him get minutes to see if he develops.

Timoney seems to be finding a bit of form which is good news. Also that was Addison's best performance of the season. If he stays fit and keeps up that trajectory he could be a big player in the second half of the season.
