Bulls are playing some brilliant rugby.

Could score 10 tries here if they fancy it.

Lowry very lucky he didn't knock himself out in that tackle.

Paddy_Mag · 20-03-2026 08:52PM

Lowry needs to learn how to tackle

Paddy_Mag · 20-03-2026 09:01PM

That penalty is gone the wrong way. That should have gone against Doak

Absolutely. A tackle close to the touch line, and then escalation by doak. And then straight to ground by an Ulster player in the ruck ignored

No surprise. We have been getting shafted by the officials for a while now. Not that they went about it the right way but there’s a reason behind for the outbursts from Bundee and Mack.
