The UAFC

Should really be a gimme win given the teams selected, a loss would be really disappointing. Another game to show if Ulster really have turned the corner in terms of being a hard nosed team that can win in crap conditions.

Looked like the wind had a decent impact on the game, and Ireland's poor scrum didn't help either. Players I noticed the most were Stewart, Finlay, the OH, and the number 11. Was quite an entertaining game which I guess you would expect at this level.

U20 on BBC website at the minute, Ireland doing well

Thanks Neill, first I've heard of Moxham

Thanks Jetstream, much appreciated.

Decent result all in all for Ireland under a new coach, a few changes and probably a little bit less systematic than Schmidt so all in all while not pretty it was slightly prettier than previous. Forwards won us the match.

A wins a win, well done Herring, Henderson and Cooney!

Looking the business so far

Cooney on, good luck my friend!

Think the ref and TMO are missing loads of things, ball ripped and Scottish fella playing it on the ground, tackle on Stockdale, some debateable ones with Larmour being tripped by Hogg after chip, even offside. Probably blame the touch judges for a good bit of that.

Sexton not great so far, Murray either, pack performing pretty well in general.

Looking like a proper test match, Herring going really well so far

Saw on Facebook someone reckoned Finlay played well, anybody care to comment on him and any of the other Ulster lads?

Big result for Italy against Wales, apart from the national team Welsh rugby doesn't seem to be in great shape these days.

Can I ask does anyone here think that the team is picked by anyone other than the coaching team, would be interested to know? Given that the IRFU seem to prioritise the 6 nations over the world cup it does appear to lead to more short termism than say the All Blacks, so I guess that is the justifica...

Is Doris good in the lineout, Herring could be put under a lot of pressure if he has only two options? Guess that might be why Toner is on the bench if things go pear shaped. Back row at least a bit of change, will be interesting to see if Stander can make a few more yards at 6. Yes I get it is frus...
