Is here.

Peregrine · 19-01-2019 4:15pm

I didn't realise wee Dave is being retained ahead of Cooney. Big call.

awec · 19-01-2019 4:15pm

BT are practically writing us off

Jump_In_Jack · 19-01-2019 4:17pm

Is Cooney on the bench or out injured?

Bench

Synode · 19-01-2019 4:22pm

Poor protection at rucks by Ulster so far

Bridge93 · 19-01-2019 4:27pm

Marty Moore stinking welfare Road out at the minute.

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:33pm

There's the threat from Tuilagi

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:33pm

Flip I've seen more crooked lineouts than that get away without being sanctioned

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:34pm

Some tough moments for Balacoune

19-01-2019 4:35pm

Someone needs to settle him.

19-01-2019 4:37pm

wow that's harsh. Great work from him too.

19-01-2019 4:37pm

Never a knock on

griffinlee · 19-01-2019 4:39pm

Burns having a stincker of a start

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:41pm

Ulster got lucky there.

Murphy and Addison got too separated there

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:43pm

Stockdale is ridiculous.

Synode · 19-01-2019 4:45pm

Brutal lineout by Ulster in a great position

awec · 19-01-2019 4:48pm

This is a terrible match

Synode · 19-01-2019 4:49pm

Really is. So many errors from both sides

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:54pm

Hope this isn't Coetzee's knee

Clegg · 19-01-2019 4:54pm

Bests lineout throwing has been abysmal.

19-01-2019 4:55pm

Crash ball Ludik is not a thing...

Clegg · 19-01-2019 4:55pm

That's dreadful support work from Ulster after a great McCloskey break.

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:55pm

Why did McCloskey go for the clear out?!!!

Not down Tuilangis channel anyway...

awec · 19-01-2019 4:56pm

Coetzee off?

That’s that then.

19-01-2019 4:56pm

Ah McCloskey, did so well with ball in hand, but then ran over the ruck!

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:56pm

Balls...Coetzee gone

Absolutely awful. Not 1 person in to protect the ball

The Pheasant2 · 19-01-2019 4:57pm

This is abysmal stuff

19-01-2019 4:57pm

Whoever stops making mistakes wins this game by 7/9 points.

blackcard · 19-01-2019 4:59pm

Ulster have been dreadful so far. Leicester being dreadful as well has kept them in the game

bilston · 19-01-2019 4:59pm

Looking at where the ice was on Coetzee it maybe looks more hamstring than knee?

Looked like hamstring.

Precautionary hopefully

awec · 19-01-2019 5:01pm

Been coming, they deserve that.

We’ve been rubbish.

19-01-2019 5:02pm

ugh, that's a disaster

awec · 19-01-2019 5:02pm

I’d sub Shanahan and Burns for Cooney and Lowry at half time.

munsterlegend · 19-01-2019 5:05pm

Leicester have a lot of very good players so not surprised to see this score at home. Never easy place to go and Ulster are not exactly Munster or Leinster particularly up front.

launish116 · 19-01-2019 5:06pm

Men against boys again sadly! Losing Coetzee wont help the cause either!

Has there been a turn over penalty yet?

cameramonkey · 19-01-2019 5:06pm

Its up to Ulster now, Leicester are not good making lots of mistakes but still beating a very poor Ulster. If Ulster come out with some intent and stop making handling errors and set piece errors they should be able to win easily.

bilston · 19-01-2019 5:07pm

Surely Tommua was offside?

It hasn't been men against boys at all.

It's been s**** against slightly less s****

19-01-2019 5:10pm

Completely unsold on Burns. Think McPhillips is probably just as good as him now, and has higher potential too.

Ulster need to be first on the scoreboard in second half. Settle a bit, and try get around, not through Tuilagi.

so marginal that I'd let it go.

Not buying that at all. Ulster got stung by a similarly marginal call against Connacht earlier in the season. I was told then that if you're in front you're in front!

They should have at least looked at it.

The problem is McPhillips isn't better.

I fear this could end up like last year at Wasps.

Our saving grace being that Exeter aren't likely to get a BP win in Thomond

bilston · 19-01-2019 5:20pm

Ulster were lucky there because Jonny May quite clearly touched the ball there

19-01-2019 5:21pm

this is a comedy of errors

19-01-2019 5:23pm

40 minutes of rugby against a team like Leicester with European knock outs on the line and no points at all is an awful look.

Hopfully Ulster can flip the script this half.

awec · 19-01-2019 5:25pm

Dan Cole straight in over the ball off his feet and it ends up in a turnover.

awec · 19-01-2019 5:27pm
