    On my phone so no fancy preview! However the game deserves a thread.


    Game kicking off now on SS2.

    Must win for Ulster, preferably with a BP. Ulster yave made a few changes, notably at half back with Marshall and Humphreys starting and Sam Arnold starts on the wing with Gilroy, so a risky selection with other games in mind I guess.

    Bright start by Oyonnax.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    That scrum was impressive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Ulster need to up the feckin physicality here. They are under pressure in the scrum and the Oyonnax has ran over the top of Henry and now we've mauled off the park for a try.

    Try Oyonnax. Ulster haven't turned up yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Another demonstration of up front power from Oyonnax

    Oyonnax may be around the bottom of the Top 14 table, but they are not push over. Ulster need to tak them more seriously than this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    FFS Henry, the Oyonnax 6 is eating you alive pal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,427 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    10 minutes in and Ulster are getting dominated.


  • Administrators Posts: 54,256 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Our powder puff pack is back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Ulster need to step up right now or face a real uphill struggle. Oyonnax tails are up and their fans are getting behind them

    Diack is useless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Feck me Diack you should have your contract terminated on the spot for that attempt of a tackle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Jeesh this team selection is looking a dodgy call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,427 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Not only are gaps appearing in Ulster's line, they're missing first up tackles.

    Shameful attempt from Diack on the Oyonnax hooker. His weak tackling leads to a 50 metre break and an easy 3 point kick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭Utah_Saint


    I knew diack was soft but that was farcical

    Back row forward tackling like that is a disgrace. If he can't tackle what use is he on the pitch?

    I couldn't understand the team selection from Ulster. They have played a lot of games but given their position the obvious course of action was to write of Saracens away particularly given Ulster's dodgy away record. Ulster lucky not to be 14 down.

    He has some qualities but he's one of the least physical backrow forwards I've ever seen. Been saying it for years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Better. Shame it came to nothing.

    Good break from Arnold but poor execution to lose the ball in that situation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    The risky team selection could haunt Ulster here. But they should be well able for Oyonnax. That said, Oyonnax are really up for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,792 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Christ Ulster get your actual half backs on the pitch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭former total


    Humphreys' tackling is nothing short of comical.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,047 ✭✭✭Bazzo


    Game is starting to get away from Ulster now. Sending the seconds might not have been the best idea(especially if they are being rested with Sarries away in mind).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Oyo don't have to do much more, just keep stretching the score away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    This is embarassing. A fecking disgrace actually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭OldRio


    13-0 Only one team in this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Kiss needs to show balls and put Williams, Jackson and Pienaar on now.

    Brutal scrummaging


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,972 ✭✭✭captbarnacles


    Bloody hell. Ulster scrum minced there.


  • Administrators Posts: 54,256 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    We are a joke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,427 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Hard to see how this can be turned around barring a miracle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,229 ✭✭✭LeinsterDub


    Shocking scrums

    ulster need to try and get out of the Piatau deal [see if wasps will keep him] and spend the money elsewhere

    Ulster taking the scrum from the ball going dead. Like a red rag to a bull with the damage the Oyonnax scrum are doing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Every scrum has the same outcome


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Just tuned in. Has the scrum been this awful all game?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭former total


    Empty the bench. Now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,661 ✭✭✭Crimsonforce


    Wow

    FFS Diack

    Diack is a joke

    Was better when Black came on for a blood injury.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Better from ulster but again sloppy in contact

    And sign who exactly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    Did Diack just have the ball stripped by the opposition 9?


  • Registered Users Posts: 184 ✭✭Redsock


    Toulouse apart, this is a typically ulster performance. back row is not worthy of the name. Lutton is ail standard at best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    This is much better from Ulster - need to score before HT. Great chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,439 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    And that should be the game.
