B & I Cup 16/17

Any stand out performers, did Herbst get through the game unscathed?

[mikerob]

Herbst came off at half time - might have been planned. Lyttle looked dangerous every time he had the ball. Ulster scrum and line out good. Defence was the big issue for Ulster - they looked like a scratch team and L Scottish backs were decent enough to exploit this

[The Boo Radleys]

To be honest, if that team had played together a bit more they could have won. Typical London Scottish - worst mix of Jock and Southern English - £16 just to get into the ground and a real aggy crowd. Reminds me why I go to Richmond matches if they're home and I'm stuck over here - we don't know how lucky we are....

Big Dan look sharp enough to step up vs Munster?

Herbie fit enough to do a half in tandem with Rodders next week?

[The Boo Radleys]

Dan came off and had ice cling film wrapped around his midriff (hard to describe it any other way but the pain seemed to be lower back). Herbst I would say a good bet for the 23 next week.

Poor defending by Lyttle and McP

Not exactly a tackling masterclass.

I assume even London Scottish got so fed up with the piper they had to cover him with a wee Ibiza club mix.

I quite like the tartan grass though.

Sadly everyone just stood off and let LS run at them. No wonder they were leaking trys all over the place.

[Dan Dare]

McP kicks some good conversions in fairness, but that seems to be his main talent. Would like to see the stand outs being Treadwell, Dow, Stockdale and Heron, the ones who would be needed for the step up in class to Pro 12. Don't see it from those clips, but they are just clips.

Massive moment for John McCusker, benching for the A team while still at school. Watch this space he's a heck of a player with plenty of dog. I've been watching him since he came through Minis; could just make it to the top.

Has Best recovered from his slam dunk then?
