The Pack really fronted up. That was a beastly Montpellier pack used to bullying other sides and our boys didn't give an inch; massive aggression and commitment at the breakdown. 1-8 they were excellent as were the subs.
Backs created and ran superb likes Jared was excellent again so was Paddy and Darren, back to his best.
MOTM goes to the man who makes Ulster tick and he’s here for another three and a half seasons.......................................Paul Marshall
But for me Rory Best was superhuman at the breakdown and work rate. Team deserves the award, but if I have to pick one above the rest Rory had me applauding ...
One of the best tries you'll see from Trimble and Bowe, the skill level to pass back and forth and not over run it - magic. And Paddy's tackle. Still doing the Whooooo Hoooo dance!
I bet the PRL are screaming about the no relegation thing again ... nit a great series of results for the best league in the world,
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"
Fantastic Team performance.
What an away result against the top of the Top 14.
Kept having to pinch myself.
MOTM difficult to single out, (Rory, PJ, Cave, coaches etc) but have now gone for J. Muller as "el capitano" of great team effort.

No sorry Ruan Pienaar
Sometimes you just have to enjoy something good. This was very good. You cannot look beyond the stars, without them we would be nothing, their bravery and courage tonight to a man, made everything possible for all. And then when a team performance reaches a certain level - there is only one MOM ... The team. That is true tonight. Each one put body and sole into a performance that we can all share and rejoice as a whole.
THANK YOU
As always enjoy the weekend and then let's come back to earth and focus on the next game
Went for Rory and then I had 2nd thoughts and thought about going for PJ, but frig it does it really matter, there were so many stand out performances it was amazing to see.
Very difficuly to select Ulster's MOTM, all the guys performed and were up for the game. Montpellier are a good team but our defence was better. All the talk in the build-up to the game was the 'Hendo or Robbie' selection - Robbie didn't let us down and when Hendo came on, he created the havoc that we all expected. RP stepped up to the plate and slotted the penalty's in the 2nd half.

Robbie rarely lets Ulster down since he came back to form last season. Solid grafter and a great lineout catcher.
Great win for Ulster, outstanding. Back to back against an under performing Treviso. You're looking at 18 pts with 2 games to go in the group. 4 Irish wins, and Cardiff. Wins for Ospreys and Glasgow tomorrow and you can just see the excuses coming out.
O me of little faith, in my prediction I went for a Montpellier win it's nice to wrong once in a while not that I'm right that often where " Her in doors" is concerned.
The back 3 looked a bit "ify" at times under the short high up and under but stood up to the pounding well in the second half. The best thing was their back three were even more "ify"
The mid field and back row defensive performance was first rate and our front five stood up to the task well.
What surprised me was that Montpellier didn't go for the' Leinster like kick in the corner' and attempt the try from the line out . In the end Montpellier ran out of ideas.
Man of the Match basically the forwards did what forwards have to do hunt together and play together collectively superb and thus a forward can't qualify for the vote. While the backs combined well for the try and defended well they are tasks where all relied on the guy beside them and it was again a superb collective performance.
Therefore MoTM comes down to either Ruan or Paddy with Paddy getting the vote for that one moment match changing tackle .
Within this carapace of skepticism there lives an optimist

Not sure that they've any excuses left. I'm certain they've already used them all
