    Ulster XV & replacements to face Zebre, RaboDirect PRO12, Sunday 18th November, Stadio XXV Aprile (2.00pm GMT):


    Replacements (16-23): R Herring, T Court, D Fitzpatrick, J Simpson, A Birch, B McIlroy, S Olding, P Nelson.

    Considering up front we're missing Paddy McAlistair, Rory Best, Johann Muller, Lewis Stevenson, Dan Tuohy, Stephen Ferris, Iain Henderson, Sean Doyle and Chris Henry that's a pretty decent pack.

    Payne, Wallace and Allen will go well in the backs, not sure about the rest but in Olding and Nelson we have two very promising young players on the bench, I'm actually a bit surprised Andrew has been getting the nod over Nelson in the last two games.

    Payne's utility is crucial and while he is an excellent fullback his utility makes him all the more valuable as it allows young IQ players to get a run at FB some weeks


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭Sinbad_NI


    Yeah impressed here as well especially when you think how many are busy elsewhere. Hope NOC can translate club form but pack should be able to get some ball and as we all know Payne is the real deal to pull the strings.

    Can only assume he's still injured. There hasn't been a medical bulletin in recent weeks or even months about him though so anything you read or hear isnt official but I haven't personally even heard anything off the record either!

    Maybe Jaco knows more?

    This game is live via red button and can be acessed directly via Ch. 301 for Freeview viewers which makes it easier to record than on satellite.

    Had a couple of AIL games this season iirc but no Ulster matches. The form of Payne is very bad news for D'Arcy though.

    He is back playing again after illness and injury.

    Strange he's not involved then. Without knowing the nature of the illness I suppose he may need to add a few pounds before he's ready to get back with Ulster.

    5-3 to Zebre after Ulster forget to reclaim a restart and let Tibaldi waltz through.Pretty poor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,755 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Awful restart defence by Ulster. Well finished by Zebre

    5-3 Zebre (13 mins)


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,755 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Zebre 5-6 Ulster (30 mins )


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,153 ✭✭✭Glass Prison 1214


    13-9 try for Zebre


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    NOC looked o.k. for a while then reverted to type, got ripped - stupidly and Zebre score a nice try. His goal kicking has been good but Zebre the better team. Calum Black is turning in to a really good scrummaging loosehead.
    Third try for Zebre. Ulster are shocking. Led by O'Connor with another missed tackle.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 322 ✭✭Banbridgeman2


    The curse of NOC aghhhhhh


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    Ulster try - Mincer. NOC hits post.
    18 17

    18 - 20 PEN NOC. Still playing like sewage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 526 ✭✭✭goreyguy


    Ulster all over the place


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    Dreadful shyte by Ulster. O'Connor is just too poor for this level of Ulster. Passes the ball straight to an Italian in his own 22.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    4th try for Zebre under the posts. McComish opens the door.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    25 - 20


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    David Humphreys would be better than NOC


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    U;Connor has kicked really wel, it;s just that he is useless in everything else.
    Ulster knock on in front of Zebre post. Awful.


  • Administrators Posts: 53,434 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Missing this game but it sounds brutal .


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,911 ✭✭✭jacothelad


    Penalty try to Ulster.
    25 - 27

    Undeserved so far.
