The UAFC

Agree with Koth, Doak had a lot of patience and awareness of when to speed things up and slow things down, when to go open and blind, when to boss people about when he needed protection for box kicks. The raw tools are there for a 19 year old to be outstanding for us.

Agree with what a lot are saying, the handling skills of the forwards were outstanding with very few knock ons. Leinster were constantly off side and to be fair got away with it, a few threats from the ref but not a yella in sight. McBurney sure has a battle on his hands with Herring, Andrew, Robert...

Definitely some talent coming through there for Ulster now, really pleasing.

Really entertaining game, more exciting than most senior matches

This sounds like good news if Campbell is U20 coach and continuing to manage the academy. Hopefully it gives more of our players exposure at that level.

9 The biggest elephant in the room, will Cooney be with us next year? Doak is clearly the future from all I've heard and should be getting a good bit of game time next year. 10 After the match on Friday I was wondering do we function better with Madigan than Burns? Certainly in a limited cameo Mads ...

And thank goodness I can now turn my laptop off and listen to that commentator!

Don’t turn it back on, you will have to listen to Ferris.

Jordi was immense.

Very true, on both counts

And thank goodness I can now turn my laptop off and listen to that commentator!

Fair enough disappointing to lose a match we were ahead in at half time, but for Leinster to play their big guns and for us to a bit away from them but not a massive gulf is probably a step forward.

To be fair the ref has been pretty good

Joy and that commentator, not sure which one I'm disliking the most so far

McCloskey for me too, quite a few defensive moments he stood up. Agree Burns, Timoney and McElroy had really good games

Good first half, bad 2nd half. Defence good, attack in 2nd half needed to be more accurate.

Lovely seeing Reid, McCann, Doak, McIlroy and Hume playing

Good half, bit of creativity, Ulster playing very well.
