Was that the Big Sadie ( Thompson) used to play centre forward for Glentoran?

Let's face it if Munster or Leinster were at home to the SA Lions team this week you would expect a comfortable 5 pointer. If Ulster have any ambition this season they should be seeking the same.

This should be one of the easiest home games this season.

Bobby boy you show your age with that one

Home advantage is home at advantage but the Ulster backline is all effort and brainfarts and has yet to play against a side who can punish errors .

You expect a comfortable 5 pointer for Munster/Leinster. We have had some uncomfortable 5 pointers thus far. Plus we have a pretty awful injury list at present. Therefore, room for doubt. Ambition wise we should be aiming for 5 points.

Looking for a good defensive set and parity in set piece, scrum particularly.
I expect a win if we can do that.

Defence is fairly solid. I'd prefer us to be more patient in attack instead of trying to force it.

As predicted an uncomfortable BP win. I feel very sorry for Addison. That was just a freak accident. I highly doubt it's a stinger. He looked in agony and was stretchered off with a leg brace. Gas and air is never a good sign.

Looked like a broken ankle / lower leg or at least a dislocation. Would have been in the autumn international squad and will now miss out. Lad can't catch a break.

Could hear him crying out in pain for a good minute after it happened from where we were sat. It's a nasty one, he was in real distress.

Heart reached out to him, it was hard to take, really felt for him.

Can’t believe how unlucky Addison is. We were all singing his praises and agreeing now he is fit he is so important for ulster. Then that bizarre incident happens. He looked in real pain. Feel for him, hope he gets back soon and for him in time to challenge for a place in the 6 nation which I think he deserves. But from a very selfish ulster point of view I hope he gets back for us as soon as and continues the form he has shown in the first few games.

Have a horrible feeling we might not see Addison back again
Hope I'm wrong but we were sat close to the incident, it sounded like cries of utter despair as well as pain
