The UAFC

League is very tight from 6-11 with only 3 points between 6 teams. Remaining fixtures: Benetton 37 pts - Dragons H, ulster A, sharks A, bulls A, Edinburgh H. Ospreys 35 pts - stormers A, bulls A, leinster A, Dragons H, Cardiff A. Ulster - 35 pts - Cardiff H, benetton H, Scarlets A, leinster H, munst...

A front row is only as good as the weakest link. No point SK being dominant if the other side is retreating or popping up every other scrum. In that regard he is not worth the return on the investment as opposed to a good 8,9,10 who can make things happen on their own.

Cam someone explain the penalty for tackling in the air from the Stewart over throw? Was the stormers player legally able to go for the ball? They weren't in the lineout and weren't back 10 so the only thing could be if they were the nominated scrum half (which I doubt). Surely the lineout was forme...

Looking at fixtures to come both benneton and the ospreys have to go to SA still. Benetton come to us and Ospreys go to leinster also. Still a big opportunity to to finish 6th.

Fantastic effort from the lads. A pack of Warwick, Stewart, Wilson, Sheridan, izzy, mccann, rea, timoney digging in.
Jury still out on doak
A few poor decisions from us and the ref went against us, but more positives than negatives on the whole.

Most blatent off feet u will ever see on 76 minutes. Ref bottled it. Leads to stormers 50-22 and us likely losing our BP.

Young guys making dumb decisions. Stewart and then mccann. They'll learn but really frustrating to watch.

Only one winner now.

2 of the most stupid penalties u will see in a row. Rea playing the ball off feet then TOT joining maul in side in front of the ref.

Stormers are the ultimate confidence team. Expect them to click but a good side will make them earn it.

We are playing on the edge and should be further ahead. Stormers haven't fired a shot yet so we need to keep the lead. Cooney's miss was poor.

It should have been a pk Ulster

Not straight was the call first.

Decent enough results for us league wise. I can see the top 4 pulling away with places 5-10 very competitive. Benetton at home will be a massive game. Not often ulster would go into a home game against Italian opposition as underdogs.

I'd like to see doak challenge the defensive line a bit. This is the hardest part for a ten but is the best way to create line breaks. He is used to not taking ball to contact and will have to risk getting hit late. Will his temperament allow this? The jury is out on my book, but I sincerely hope he...

Leinster getting smashed in the 1st few scrums but recovered to lead 7-6.
