Ulster winning by two points with one minute to go and Saints break away and Ashton does his famous swallow dive under the posts----and drops the ball!! :D
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

My money is on Ulster. If you looked at the (probable) teams for Sunday, apart from Ashton and Foden, would any of the other Northampton players be sure of getting into the Ulster team in front of the players already there. I don't think so.

If the Ulster forwards gain parity, and I don't see any reason why not, Ulster have more than enough flair behind the scrum to win. Don't forget Ulster have won their last six games without playing well. This Sunday might just be the we we turn it on

St Morrissey, let me begin.

There once was a bloke by the name of Gideon, he bought together a mere 300 men who knew how to drink correctly, could blow their own trumpets and had a few jars. They also had a few dreamers in their midst. They put the fear of god into an opposition of greater number so much that they fled and turned on themselves. Stand Up, sayeth the Lord.

It will be narrow, and I predict less than 5 points in it. I honestly believe we can do it. Muller will be fired up and will ensure that everyone around him plays to the best of their ability. This IS Ulster's biggest game in around 10 years. The players will not be out to disappoint

I really don't know who will win but that's just the beauty of the European Cup. I'm thinking last play of the game Ulster winning 15-12 and Ashton intercepts and goes for a swallow dive and drops the ball. I can picture that 8)

Ulster by 2, definitely including a drop/pen in the last 4 mins! (to Ulster) high scoring, maybe 23-21 Ulster? That's the heads thoughts

The heart has a funny feeling, somewhat similar to a funny feeling I had a few weeks back before a certain Irl v Eng game. Can't describe the feeling but it is there.....

Forget the bible. Hartley, Lawes, Dowson, Wilson, Wood, Ashton, Foden, Tongauiha, Mujati are all big game players. Clutch at straws and dream of Ashton dropping the ball because in reality he won't! Kick badly and you'll be dealing with Foden all afternoon and if your pack has an off day we'll go right through the middle.
This is an honest question, how many Ulster players are current internationals?

Tom Court, Rory Best, Stevie Ferris (injured), Paddy Wallace, Andy Trimble - that makes 5 Ireland internationals.

Outside of Ireland, BJ Botha, Ruan Pienaar both play for Springboks, whilst Simon Danielli is a Scottish international.

Johann Muller is a vastly experienced Springbok, as is Pedrie Wannenburg (P3).
