11-3, 17 mins to go

Hagz · 22-03-2013 8:57pm

What a try.

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:57pm

Brilliant work from Payne and Trimble there.

errlloyd · 22-03-2013 8:57pm

Incredible. Payne you beauty

Tox56 · 22-03-2013 8:57pm

Beauty from Allen(?)

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:58pm

Right come on PJ....

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:58pm

Nope.

ScissorPaperRock · 22-03-2013 8:58pm

Lovely run by Payne to set up a try for Trimble

Another missed kick at goal from Paddy

11-8, 13 mins to go

iamjenko · 22-03-2013 8:59pm

Did he miss the kick again? How many is that now? No one else on the park that can take a shot?

Nope not now Olding's injured. He's got 1/5.

Allens a very classy player, unlucky that he wont get a look in at midfield for Ulster but does a great job on the wing when called upon.

awec · 22-03-2013 9:01pm

COME ON ULSTER!

ScissorPaperRock · 22-03-2013 9:04pm

Visser on, and Edinburgh on the attack again

Lucky knock on at the ulster try line

Ulster have a lot of talent in the center, slightly less in the back three, especially with Cochrane and probably D'arcy leaving at the end of the season. I reckon this means that future is on the wing.

iamjenko · 22-03-2013 9:07pm

Where's Cochrane off to? Serious gas that fella...

He's a guy I'd like to see leave and try establish himself somewhere at center, dont think he'll ever fulfill his potential on the wing. I'd rate him at the same level as EOM.

Sinbad_NI · 22-03-2013 9:11pm

14 - 8 now 76 gone.

is darcy going back to oz????

Very very depressing.

not sure his contract is out at the end of the season and he has offers in France. He isn't happy with his gametime here. I'm sure we will here more in a few weeks when the french clubs can announce things.

I'll be happy to see the back of him. I liked him when he first showed up but during 6 nations 2011 he turned down a wolfhounds call up (out of the media) and I haven't liked him since then.

thomond2006 · 22-03-2013 9:16pm

jesus that's an upset.

awec · 22-03-2013 9:18pm

Just lulling Leinster into a false sense of security.

oh rite way did he do that??? i mean hes IQ and all (not by the 3 years thing) does he thing hes gonna play for oz or something.suppose hes no great loss havent seen him play in ages cant see him getting and offer in the top14 anyway????

.ak · 22-03-2013 9:20pm

Lets just hope it's not a weekend of Scottish success!

Sinbad_NI · 22-03-2013 9:23pm

Edinburgh were pretty poor. To not get a win against that team is really awful.

leonard7 · 22-03-2013 9:25pm

really cant take all this losing

MolBee · 22-03-2013 9:28pm

Fair play to Edinburgh, they were more creative in attack, more precise, more aggressive. We were utterly woeful though, injuries not much of an excuse, there was a lot of quality in that team.

Not Oz but Super XV was his ambition. Thing is there is a limit in the number of NAQ so by refusing the Irish call up he was preserving his AQ status. Not sure where in France he is going to end up next year since the French clubs can't confirm anything but I've heard a few clubs mentioned, including one T14 and two or three ProD2.

Didn't see tonight's match but but disappointed Ulster couldn't win. Was the total number of points left on the tee by Jackson 11??

didnt know that still it could have lead to playing for the full side if he done well best of luck to all the same.

awec · 22-03-2013 9:35pm

This losing business is quite irritating.

CatFromHue · 22-03-2013 9:37pm

Three missed penalties between the 45th and 53rd min and then a missed conversion in the 65th. The Edinburgh kicker was 3 from 4 so it doesn't sound like that bad a night for kicking anyway.

I'm a fan of Jackson and have defended him over his inconsistancy (which is the mark of many young players), but in a pro12 game against Edinburgh in a barely filled stadium, he should be doing better than that. I'm pretty disappointed especially after his progession over the 6ns in far more pressured situations. Not only the kicking but he seemed to play with no semblance of urgency tonight.

Not sure TBH. Guess we'll find out at half 7 Red button is easier than stream for me so I'm hoping for that.

Just to confirm that red button is the same for all UK regions as BBC2W announced Edinburgh vs Ulster game was on the red button and that alternative audio commentary for Ospreys vs Dragons was only available via BBC website.

Jackson doesn't like playing in Murrayfield

His final penalty miss was the equivalent of missing an open goal unfortunately.

Quint2010 · 22-03-2013 10:44pm

Shocking loss for Ulster. I think they will might lose next week too. Home semi final now could be out of their hands.

Ah I don't know if you can call it this early.

With Pienaar, Cave and Marshall back and Muller hopefully lasting 80, they'd be a different team.

Leinster are going to batter us. By a cricket score.

Paul4As · 23-03-2013 3:56pm

The only positive from last night was the line out...the best its been for a good while.
Hopefully Pienaar is back for the Leinster game for some kicking practice. Though even he has not been himself this season going for goal.
Not sure what has gone wrong with Ulster...too easy to blame injuries or the Six Nations.

Bowe, Ferris, Muller, Williams, Henry, Henderson, Payne, Fitzpatrick, Wilson, Wallce, Doyle all suffering from some injury or another.

Best, Gilroy, Jackson, L.Marshall, Court and P.Marshall all taking some part in the 6N.

It is fairly easy to blame alright!!

Those standing in for injured players in the first half of the season when Ulster were on their undefeated run seemed to do everything right...the injured weren't missed. Now those same players seem to be lacking something.
All teams lose players to the 6 nations...Ulster didn't fair too bad in that respect.
The Leinster game next week is their most important so far this season...a dry run for the standard of team they will be playing at Twickenham...get thumped in Dublin and you can kiss your Heineiken Cup semi final bye bye! Put in a decent performance and confidence will be lifted.

To be fair we had most of these players at the start of the season and then they started to drop one by one - the team was weakening every week but still winning - just about sometimes.

It was only a matter of time before the injuries took their toll.

Mind you it's correct in what you say about a good performance in dublin - could set them up nicely for the quarters. Get a few front line players back for that and who knows??
