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

How we let Lyttle go should be a sackable offence in itself

spoke to soon

Exeter have won one game all season and tried to concede this game by sending their B team

Ah Lowry.

Kick it through or fall on it. Don't try and pick it up side on and one handed.

Izuchukwu and Timoney head and shoulders above every other Ulster player tonight. Consistently making an impact. Not impressed by Wilson. When he gets a head of steam going he's hard to put down, but he has been plodding around the pitch mostly and looks unfit.

Lyttle looks more composed than any Ulster back on the pitch. Yeah he's experienced, but he hasn't played professionally in two years. Very impressive.

Wilson had a much better second half. Was involved in turnovers at rucks and carried hard. Thought he was dreadful in the first however.

Be better heading to the challenge cup

With an attacking team like Bordeaux, that's very possible. But a game like that could be very loose, both teams could get TBPs.

Still, turned out alright in the end.

Yes, deservedly so IMO, not sure what Clegg was on about above.

Well I say deservedly so, but actually Izzy deserved it really.

Postlewaite and Carson just look so natural together. Defensively they’re a great unit. Carson actually looks leaner than previous seasons.

Would love to see Postlewaites metres gained, and there not all crashball. He absolutely folded someone in first half also.

It will be a crime if Lyttle goes back to the farm in two weeks!

Yeah, it's funny how the number of posters/frequency of posts falls markedly as the Schadenfreude melts away. Curious, that.

Agree with your other points. The Irish management seems obsessed with 6/8s. As much as I am delighted for McNabney and want to see him kick on, I really think Wilson has deserves a development player call-up to the Ireland squad ahead of him.

I also think our best 15 has Izzy at six and Sheridan in the second row.

Good to see Moore and Reid back. And surely Lyttle has to get another full-time contract.

Now, is it me or are our set pieces slowly improving? Scrum looks more solid - whereas earlier in the season I dreaded every one, now I am daring to hope for parity. Barrett has been a quietly efficient player in that regard.

Our lineouts has improved as well - especially our defensive effort. Against Connacht and Leicester Izzy stole a lineout each, if I recall.

Wrong thread

He's a right lump, next season gonna be hard deciding on a starting back row. Think the ballast would of been better in the row.

So if Bordeaux pull this off, who are we likely to play?
