Who was your UlsterMOTM vs Cardiff Blues?

[Rooster]

Between Ludik and Herring, hard to say as both excellent in their own way.

[BaggyTrousers]

BUT, am I alone in thinking Rory Scholes shows a fair bit more on the wing than Micky?

[CIMANFOREVER]

Scholes is an excellent prospect. He's also bulked up considerably. Before his injury, one of his brace against Exeter was a thing of beauty. Weve some great young back talent, but Hendo and AW aside, feck all homegrown young forwards.

[CIMANFOREVER]

Easily Ludik and Red just behind. Hendo drifts in and out but benefits from game time. I hope theres no serious issue with RW, but we need to get shot of FNW. I suspect he'll get a citing and ban anyway for recklessness. maybe we need to start blooding the likes of Dow and Donnan

To quote Michael Jackson "Yooouu are NAT aloooone!!", yeah he looked a real handful last night. Monkey Allen is a centre primarily in my view not a natural winger but does a grand job there. AAT the pundit said Allen and Ludik are quite similar, very direct players with deceptive strength and they both love the leg drive.

[breakdown]

Herring was immense

Can understand why Jackson got it for the miss pass for Gilroys try alone, considering it was his first game back

[Hans Indaruck]

I too thought Scholes was excellent - put in some great hits defensively and has a great turn of pace. Herring was everywhere and really is the No 2 of first choice in waiting - we must hold on to him! Herbst was solid as ever - hopefully he has only a twinge as is not badly hurt as we will need him for the run in. Allen, of whom I am not a fan as a winger, played exceptionally well in the centre - looked to be hobbling quite badly after the match. But for me the overall Man of the Match was Ludik - he was solid in defence, always made yards going forward, and took his chances well - Louis Ludik you are my Guinness Pro 12 Man of the Match!

[ruckover]

Ludik or Henderson. Either or, both were very good.

Honourable mention for Robbie Diack. Came on and gave us some go forward ball when we seemed to be struggling a bit.

[Russ]

Only 1 man for it

Only 13 in Ireland

Ludi didn't put a foot wrong - delighted that he's showing what a good player he is. Scholes tackled his heart out, Mickey left nothing on the pitch, great to have Jackson back - he played well ..... however

For me watching a second time - Herring was incredible - his work rate was awesome, I expect next year to be his break through with Ireland - he was some investment ... but he was just shaded by Hendo - Baby Face is a machine, he NEVER fails to make ground be it an inch or yards, he destroys rucks (the 'canon' he hit to use another Blues player to sit the scrum half on his hoop will live long in Fleg memory), and his presence cant be undervalued - he can change a game, he is box office and he is a 6!!!!!

He also broke a few tackles, which we've not seen a lot of either.

I'd concur with all of that. I think I've seen Hendo doing that before, but last night it was perfect. His explosive power is a thing to behold. Start him at 8 anyone?
Scholes strikes me as an ATT type of physical player, ARS if you will. He is 'busy' in both attack and defence. He showed signs of that before his injury lay off and is picking up where he left off.

Allen was decent on the night and got a really unlucky bad bounce when he might have scored, my only complaint was his wendyballist appeal when he might just still have scored if he forgot the theatrical appeal. My apparent judging of him was purely that I think Scholes has more about him on the wing.

Everyone's a feckin' comedian here Rocky - well 4 anyway.
