    Ulster can't throw in the towel, points difference is crucial.


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


    They'd want to keep an eye on the PD if by some miracle 18 points gets us through it will come down to that. We might need 60 next week.

    Why oh why did we send a weakened team to Oyonnax last week? I like Kiss and I think he will be good for us but that selection is a black mark against his name.

    Anyway I can't watch any more of this!

    It won't be a miracle for 18 to get Ulster through. It's very likely to be good enough.

    Cant expect to compete in Europe or pro12 for that matter with our current back row options


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


    IHumph with the slowest intercept try ever :pac:

    Nice intercept , but Saracens are the form team in Europe and will take some beating this year..

    At this stage I don't mind Saracens, just anything to stop Toulon.

    Oh I expect us to get to 18, I'm just not convinced it will be enough.

    How many points do you have to be within to get a LBP?

    Unlikely I'd imagine. Can't see them finishing ahead of two of the current 2nd place teams now. Maybe if Clermont and Northampton both mess up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 967 ✭✭✭Scythica


    What we wouldn't give for a few of Leinsters backrow options to come up for a season or 2....

    *Disclaimer: As long as it's not Olding, McCloskey, Cave, Payne, Marshall, and anyone else I missed*

    Well unless Ospreys win at Exeter that group has no chance of a second placed team making 18 or more, Stade are far from certain to beat Leicester and if Leicester win then that pool is sorted too, Northampton will probably need 2 wins including 1 bonus point to get in front of Ulster too, their points difference is poor. There's a good chance the second placed team in Leinster's group won't make 18 either, either a Bath or Leinster win in the last week should do it.

    Well we will get a better idea over the next 24 hours, not sure Bath will finish in the top 2 but hopefully Leinster beat them tonight.

    Really if Bath don't get the try bonus tonight then Ulster should be safe from them. Tough to see them getting a try bonus against Toulon.

    Dear Mr Garces,

    Learn the offside rule.

    Yours begrudgingly, awec

    He was added at a previous Ulster/Saracens game. Once you're on it you don't get off.


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


    Saracens didnspend a lot of the day offside...BUT...Ulster's ball was so slow it was no wonder.

    Exactly ibf. He's on the list for life, it probably keeps him awake at night.

    Looking at it as things stand there is a very good chance that there will be rematch in late March/early April. Maybe if we have Henry and Williams available we will be a bit more competitive.

    Yes. Henry, Williams and Tuohy. Pity that Henderson won't make it.

    Sad to see Ulster beaten by Saracens. Best of luck in the Pro12 league.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Just seen the Ashton incident. Ugh, the guy can't help himself. Clearly gouging.

    Ulster just says NO
