Seems to be a somewhat premature announcement if you go to Ticketmaster!

The beer might run through him. Everyone else does.

With so many people going they should announce Du Toit at halftime.

I got 30 points from my bookie. That's definitely worth a traitors bet. Ulster should certainly win comfortably but we don't have a strong history of destroying teams, even weak ones.
A double on Zebre and the USA to win?

Since when has the head contact framework been relevant to contact with the ground?

Ref's are just making shît up now.

Ulster possibly scored too many points too quickly and thus referee penalised anything and everything after that this put Zebre in the Ulster half and Ulster could only kick away possession for the bulk of the half .

The back line showed some promise at times but some players started to tried to hard .

Moore continues to impress and show promise

Flannery was basically given a bad hand in so far as the game was get the ball out and he is thus judged by the performance of others for most of the game.

A win is a win but after the first 10 minutes the rest of the game failed to full fill
the promise

A scrappy game. At best.
Like everybody, I thought that after ten inutes it was going to be embarrassing for the Italians, but we just sat back and gave away far too many penalties.
Still, as Rum says, a win is a win nd a bonus point isn't to be sniffed at.

But can you point to any of those penalties where he actually got it wrong?

Ulster became complacent and gave away silly penalties and the ref just blew the whistle, but he was correct to do so.

At the end when we had the scrum on 80 minutes, with Toomaga -Allen crocked and replaced by Callum Reid, we should have just gone uncontested. We would have gone down to 13 but the clock was gone and we would have been guaranteed the ball from our own scrum and could have booted it dead. Instead we replace a tighthead with a loosehead (who had played very well as a loosehead), we lose our scrum and they go over for a try with the clock in the red. :roll:

Good to see Hendo back - and a rather good cameo when he came on. Showed what we had been missing.

Was that for the Doak yellow card?

At the match we obviously couldn't hear what was being said by TMO and ref etc, but it looked to most around me that Doak lifted the player above the horizontal - not terribly high, but still above the horizontal. He then didn't bring him down safely - due to the height, there wasn't much danger, and his hand came down before his head, so a clear and obvious yellow card accepted by most around me on the terrace. In the current climate a penalty only was never gonna happen, but it was never a red card. What boiled our pi$$ was the amount of time the officials took to arrive at a pretty obvious decision.

The Carter yellow card was just lazy and petty by him - he knew exactly what he was doing. It's such a pity because otherwise in the match and for several matches recently, he's been worthy of his place in the team.

Point of note was that we played 20 minutes with 14 men and won those 20 minutes 7-5.

Flannery wasn’t injured was he?

Why not give him the full game?
