The UAFC

Good job raka and lowry not on same wing. Would fear for the big guy.

Playing against 14 players should give us a marginally better chance.

Still need a couple of yellows probably.

Clermont with some big names still there. Will be tough but if we can get ahead then their motivation may drop. Can't be giving them easy points early to get confidence up.

Takn from the tournament website... The Round of 16 threw up some thrilling battles, but only eight have been able to make it to the quarter-final stage, with all matches set to take place next weekend. The highest ranked club in each match will have home venue advantage in the quarter-final and sem...

Ewers did get stepped easily, but he carried hard and rarely gets put on the flat of his back unlike others. As mentioned above, kitscoff, hendo and ewers are the only pack members who rarely get knocked backwards which is a prerequisite when playing in France. Murphy reckoned hendo would be ok as i...

The point about TOT is that it is an easy pen for the tmo or assistant ref to give, especially when he holds his arm in around the shoulder / neck area.

Hopefully TOT is being told how to tackle close the ruck without throwing a lazy arm over the shoulder. He got pinged for it in the 1st half and did the exact same early in the 2nd. If an armchair fan can see this issue, then I would hope our esteemed video analyst did also. Sent from my SM-F721B us...

The sharks will host in somewhere they have a direct flight connection, so either Paris or London. You'd be hopeful they want to attract a crowd so perhaps a London game would suit them the best. Didn't the lions base themselves in Italy for a while back?

Goes to show the strength of junior rugby in ulster when stones go back to back promotions and clogher Valley win 2c at the 1st attempt.

I'm indifferent to the doak / burns situation but where it does weaken us is if cooney gets injured or is having a mare. Having a shanners / doak partnership is not one I want to see. Making 2 positional changes when u only want to replace the 9 is not ideal.

Does the ban on SA sides hosting semifinals apply to the challenge Cup as well as the champions Cup?
Not that I'm expecting ulster to win next week but would a semi against the sharks have to be held in Europe?

At present ulster are better with burns at 10 than doak. The question is do we sacrifice that in order to invest in doak for the rest of the season.

Let's not kid ourselves this is any kind of a victory to be proud of. Montpellier have completely self destructed since the red card.

Can we score against 12?

Will still conspire to lose this
