Draw no good for Munster, unless it was with TBP. Need 3 match points.

McCloskey out of the game, Postlethwaite now at 12 and Sexton on the bench.

Yes if you assume the top 4 stay as they were coming into the round.

Need a point to get Glasgow if Munster beat us

Bulls yet to play, Top 4 may change again. A 10 point win scoring one try will put them top until Munster play at least.

Yes unless the lions win the urc title.

Ospreys could still get 8th place also with a BP win. Would still have to win the whole thing to deny ulster champions Cup.

Going to rule out 8th winning the URC tbf, yes Ospreys would pip the Lions in wins with 5 match points.

So looking good to have European secured but need a match point to get 6th back. Stormers have max points if they see the game out, so that would be 5th gone.

Red card for Stormers winger, Lions player in the bin for 10 minutes.

Benetton 12-6 Edinburgh latest which is good from an Ulster pov.

The chances of the 8th place team winning the tournament are next to zero, so even if ulster finish 7th you'd be fairly confident of champions Cup rugby next year. In that case a stormers win of any kind is enough for us. A Lions win WITHOUT a BP ticks that box, Ulster would have the first tie brea...

What are the permutations? If we lose with no LBP, we get leap frogged by one of Bennetton/Embra, and if Lions beat Stormers, we finish 8th and dont get into the ECC due to the Sharks winning last week? Your Ulster coming 8th (needing to win the URC to make Champions Cup) doomsday scenario requires...

Do ulster only have 1 NIQ in Kok next season? Is one the max now? Yes Ulster only have one NIQ player next season, but one must not be the max (if there is a limit?) looking at the other provinces re next season. Leinster - Snyman, Barrett Munster - Kleyn, Nankivell, Abrahams Connacht - Hurley-Lang...

The BBC NI contract for Ulster games in the URC is up in the Summer, interesting to see if they renew etc. Question at the forum suggested tv was impacting on attendances in person. Not sure if this is the case, but it would certainly be useful if the bbc tried to show more of the away games which ...
