Watch the training promo with Stockdale doing his best bandleader impressions, I think the Cat can be heard telling him to knock it on the head lol

Aside wee Bradley punches way above his weight!
I heart the shirts being called gold and yellow.
Heraldically speaking, the provincial fleg is officially red on "gold". The shirt certainly looks more gold than the flegs do.

Loving the hunger to get on the ball. Point of attack continues to shift and Sorries haven’t coped well.
Hoping we get another couple in the last 20 mins. Would be good for the confidence to win especially away.

Not a terrible lot to moan about there. A good job well done.

Sarries discipline was shocking, but there was plenty to be positive about.

Sweet victory! Some great individual performances not least Roberts, Lowry, Timoney and McIlroy! Bodes well for a good start to the season - hopefully!

It was Snipe. I put it down to the pace we were playing at. They couldn't live with it and so cracked repeatedly.

You would worry for Saracens. They could go straight back down.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Didn't see that coming but that was very enjoyable. I actually did think we had some of the new "2 first receivers" when lowry was at 15 and burns was at 10. Sarries discipline was poor in the first half but ours was pretty poor as well. How many times did we get pinged for not rolling away.

I think we won all of our lineouts (?). Theirs was a joke.
Didn't see anything that looked like an injury.
Maybe the new season isn't looking as grim as I thought last week.

Reidy was the only one I noticed - but didn’t look too serious.

I was at the game. I didn’t actually look at the Sarries line up to see how strong it was but 5 tries to 0 against Sarries away is a good evening even for a meaningless pre season game.

I think it was 4/5 Ulster tries scored out wide with the Ulster scorer needing to beat the final defender rather than any being run-ins.

Ulster yella kit was shocking.

No relegation in Premiership this season coming, going to 14 sides for 22/23 assuming Ealing win the Championship and their facilities get the green light.

Saracens play Bristol in Week 1 next weekend, will be interesting to see how they fare.

Good win for Ulster, but it is a pre-season game, so will get better idea where they are at v Glasgow in 2 weeks.

New yellow/saffron kit is a bold one v the normal black/red one etc. Similar colour to one of the training t-shirts available. Some Ulster fans on FB not happy with the use of the yellow re the provincial flag #fleggate.
