I’d suggest if that was Mexico 2nds or 3rds playing against that 13/14 man Zebre outfit, they’d have put a century on them. Scoreline flattered, it was a messy error strewn performance and I was disappointed not to see the young pups stepping up with a slicker game. Perhaps whilst they knew there’s ...

I’m with solidarity on this one. Just not an enjoyable game. I’d expected the young back line to tear the place up but they’re remarkably sloppy and the pack aren’t exactly dominating either.

Actually reminding me of a pre-season friendly - meh!

Ulster team to play Zebre Rugby, Guinness PRO14 Round 16, Friday 19 March at Kingspan Stadium (kick-off 8.15pm, live on Premier Sports / eir Sport): (15-9) Ethan McIlroy, Robert Baloucoune, James Hume, Stewart Moore, Rob Lyttle, Michael Lowry, John Cooney; (1-8) Eric O’Sullivan, John Andrew, Marty ...

Really wish Stockcube got to sit out this game too. He made a few rusty handling errors last week as well as the sublime, but he’s lined up to take the blame when it all goes wrong on Saturday.

6:2 bench split to give some young pups in the pack a decent half each.

BT please so all rugby on one subscription.

If i were Dan, my strategy for rest of the season would be balls out prioritise with first XV for the Bic Biro and then accept rainbow cup isn’t feasible to win so blood as many young forwards as possible with a 6:2 bench split and see who’s who to persevere with next season.

Just bog standard normal routine Ulster business: backs a delight and no issue with the pups coming through, pack - we will never be winning leagues and cups with them.

All NIQ spots should be forwards. Stick with hard bar steward saffas.

It’s all or nothing come to think of it. We will be in the heiny for seasons to come but are years (and a hard bar steward pack) off any chance of winning Pro 14/16, Heiny or George & Bungle Cup with Mexico and SA teams. This is it. Bic Biro or more years of drought. Balls out and fack the rest ...

Our own fault as usual! Just stop Gloucester scoring their last try and we would have replaced Exeter in the Champions Cup draw! Nice home tie against Lyon in last 16 followed by a tasty home quarter against winner of Leinster/Toulon!! Which in my mind is a worse scenario as we have no hope in the ...

Just can’t catch a break can we. Probably the most difficult route to a final but it still opens a possible Ulster v London Irish final route.

A little bit irrelevant but would have to be Baloucoune for his 2 tries.

I hope a good few of the players refuse the fist bump or handshake from the ref. Doesn’t deserve it.

But Leinster 2nds once again excellent when it mattered and Ulster not able to step up when it mattered.

Role on Bic Biro. They don’t stand a chance on the rainbow cup as Leinster are in it.

You need neutral refs and TMOs. Not some D4 sectarian ringers.

It's not sectarian, he's just a Warren Gatland

How else would one explain FIRFU prejudice against Ulster.
