The UAFC

Just had a look at the highlights. Their last two tries... how on earth did they turn over the ball for the third try? CAn somebody talk me through it??? And their fourth, how were they allowed to take the quick penalty, while the yellow card was still being shown? ... and the Strangler tried to gi...

We're comfortably sixth favourites to win the Grand final so the bookies obviously fancy Ulster to make top 8. 16/1 seems very generous (or stingy depending on what way you look at it) mind Leinster 4/7 Bulls 13/2 Munster 7/1 Stormers 10/1 Glasgow 12/1 Ulster 16/1 Connacht 40/1 Edinburgh 50/1 Benett...

Remaining fixtures: Stormers 45 pts - Dragons A, connacht A, Lions H Connacht 44 pts - munster A, Stormers H, Leinster A Ulster - 44 pts - Scarlets A, leinster H, munster A Benetton 44pts - sharks A, bulls A, Edinburgh H. Edinburgh 43pts - Zebre H, Munster H, benetton A Ospreys 40 pts - leinster A,...

If Carre touched that ball with a forward motion it was a knock on regardless of where the momentum of the ball took it afterwards.

The last 2 decisions were correct and the Cooney one looked wrong.

Stick to diddies and you'll be fine.

37 12 What happened to the strength in depth? They’re just working out who to send up the road. Hopefully they'll be in Lahndahn the following week. For reference, in the benchmark nadir season of 2007/2008 Ulster also played 18 in the league, won 6 drew 1 and lost 11. No Italians or Saffer teams t...

Benetton easy beating Dragoons. 10 pointer next week

Massive.
Hopefully Benetton will have an eye on their Parker Pen semi the following week.

We have a free run to audition everyone, if we fail to reach Champs trophy so be it. We need to be 100% certain of the future for the start of pre season. We missed out on the revenue of ONE champions cup game this season and it put a 750k hole in our finances. Missing out on ALL of the champions C...

As good as Izzys effort and endeavour was for the try saving tackle - it should have been a penalty try - you can't kick the ball out of someone's hands. Totally missed by officials, commentators and pundits I don't think it was a deliberate kick as he couldn't see where his feet were at the time. ...

Sheridan, McCann and Lowry were all outstanding. Mcilroy had a good game and Addison. Doak was poor. Every team in the league know Stockdale is a defensive liability he proved yet again he can’t catch a high ball and worse can’t defend one on one. To his credit he has perfected the diving miss tack...

Just back and had a look at the closing mins. The Cardiff knock on just before that also looked pretty deliberate in the ground and on TV.

What's this "full house" they're all banging on about? Less than 2/3 full from my perspective.

“Clermont hammering a reality check for those overestimating us” says Nathan Doak.

Hands up whoever has been overestimating. You know who you are

Battling hard and taking their points when they can.

Need to stay in it as long as possible.

Can’t afford to give Toulouse an inch though.

They gave them a few yards. At least somebody had a worse second half than us albeit agin better opposition
