I hadn't really taken in the teams, but Gusher commented on this being a strong Treviso team with several 1st choice Italian internationals released to play for them and not playing in Chicago tonight, but will be playing for Italy in coming weeks.

Was he wrong?

Should that now be reported in the Gusherasms thread?

Their starting pack had six capped by Italy according to Premier Sports. Their Kiwi hooker was very good.

Without any research, of the top of my head (therefore open to correction)... their scrum half was a regular for The Stormers and out half Tomasso Allan capped by Italy. Sgarbi in the centre also an international and Hayward at full back has been standout in the Pro 14, nearly certain he's capped.

The line out is a shambles - thankfully the referee was up to their boring in the scrum .

But allowed Benetton to come in at the side at 9 out 10 rucks all afternoon .

Also when Shan was kicking his box kicks out of defence the Ulster wings were being blocked from chasing making the ball uncontested .
In the second half the Ulster wings were chasing from outside the field of play several times .
As a referee to be honest not that impressed because of the above .

Coming in from the side it makes the ball incontestable and allows the attacking team the opportunity to block defenders from disengaging from the ruck to defend.

Both teams and the referee were all poor. The game was close enough to be interesting to the neutral observer but overall it was pretty grim stuff.

I thought Nelson looked better than I've seen him before.

OK result, Ulster remain the only team they haven’t beaten at home. You can win games without a front five. :cheers:

I didn’t see it, is it worth watching when I get a decent WiFi connection is my question¿

Having not seen the match but read a few comments here I’m a bit pîssed off, when are some of you clowns about to wake up and small the coffee because Trevino are no pushover. We are in a writeoff season, have barely a centre to our name, the feckin admiral at 15 and Spanners at 9, win away from home when most thought we’d struggle for home wins and the clowns don’t understand the nature of the acheivement, sweet holy get fücks sake some of you need yer ballix kicked outside in.

Understand this, these guys are actually overachieving, so cut the bitchin.

yes and no

yes yer right on a win away minus a few key players is a big plus but no because while winning the fact is there are fundamental things going wrong which shouldn't -- the line out as I have said is a shambles something that should not happen regardless of what stage of development a team is at since depends on a thrower and jumpers and should not be affected by age .Win yer line out by throwing short if you must

But win it

Takes a decent team to win ugly.

It was fûck awful and the final lineout cost me a pint of Rockshore. I’d have taken an ugly win this morning, when was the last rip roaring victory in Italy?

Montecassino probably

The tackling stats should look OK, although we couldn’t stop them offloading in the first half.

Big Stu seems to be growing in stature with every game.

And amazing the number of people on this thread willing to comment without seeing the game. Pay your 9 quid per month fgs. Cost of 2 pints?

I watched the game and despite a grim first half the lads turned it around to grind out the win and you can ask for nothing more. There is no doubting the fact we are a major work in progress and the set piece needs to improve dramatically as does coming out of the blocks from the first whistle.

Agree expectations are not high this season, but disagree about thinking or accepting ulster would struggle for home wins. They only lost 2 all last season and one of those was to Leinster (funnily enough with a shambolic lineout). Overall the pack should be stronger than last season - Jordi and Coetzee adding to the backrow and Moore at tight head vs the loss of Black and Diack. Timoney also has a season of experience now. In the backs the loss of Piutau has been offset to some extent by Addison. Agree that we have been hit badly at centre though.

If you write the season off then you look for performances rather than results. Yesterday was a game where the result was the main positive.

The frustrating thing in some ways is that this season Ulster look like a team who could score quite a few tries. The maligned Peel seems to be doing a decent job but it is the skills which are letting ulster down.

If Ulster finish top 3 in the group then I would be delighted and consider that as a good achievement for the season. Finishing 5th in the group and therefore not even making the playoffs would be a disappointing season overall in my opinion.

Could be wrong on this but open the floor for debate.....

I don't think our handling or skills are poor with the kind of offloading / open passing game we are trying to develop.

Scarlets are the masters of this and they have their fair share of knock ons.

We can cut these errors out by reverting to doak ball.... no thanks

The style of play we are trying to achieve is high skill risk.
