Toulouse v Ulster H Cup Round of 16 1st Leg Saturday April 9th 3:15pm KO (UK Time) BT Sport 3/beIN SPORTS/ France 2 TV

[Cap'n Grumpy]

Think I'm more tired than the players.

What a match.

I'd have bitten yer hand off for a 6 point deficit, let alone a 6 point lead.

Toulouse not out of this yet though. Shame about their last try.

[SUFTUM_19]

Flip me my heart rate at the end there. Even with a 13 point lead with 30 seconds to go I was still not comfortable. Some win to get there in the end. Andy Warwick was immense off the bench. Job half done, 6 point lead is an excellent result going into the second leg, but Toulouse are so dangerous and we should be taking nothing for granted. Roll on next week

[Leargas]

Well done, our Northern brethren.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

Well done, our Northern brethren.

Not sure BOD agreed.

Tommy was c0ck-a-hoop, but BOD a little subdued.

[Bart S]

Will take the 1st leg score. Played well 2nd half. They have 10 grand slam winners from a couple of weeks ago and are one of the very best teams in Europe.
Lucky not too many scrums but we did OK there. Line-out was a real concern. Herring's throws seemed OK. Question Henderson more as line-out caller.

Baloucoune was outstanding in defence as well as his tries. A real motm performance

[Thelaw]

Can't believe bt just cut the feed. I wanted to here Dan and Ballybeen

[big mervyn]

We'll hammer them next week.

Obviously would have been delighted with that result before the match, but was a bit frustrated by us constantly kicking the ball away in the last 15-20 minutes. In my head, at that time the mindset should have been 'they're tired, we've 15 minutes left until they're back to 15 players, let's try and put this to bed' but instead it seemed like we were trying to protect the lead and 'win' the first leg. From where we are now we'll likely favourites for next week, but with a bit more accuracy this tie could have been over, hopefully it doesn't end up costing us.

[Thelaw]

I would start doak next week.

[volvo]

Please explain why?

[UlsterNo9]

Will Toulouse even field next week?

I would have bitten your kids hand off for a 6 point lead going into next week.

Need more kids, currently have ran out of kids with hands

[UlsterNo9]

We'll hammer them next week.

8pm Saturday night kick off, the throats will be well lubricated by then for a noisy Ravenhill.

Let's hope it's hostile without a few morons ruining it!

Shane Logan won't be there lol!

[10 or 15 only]

I'm so impressed with the defence Ulster show at the moment.
That match would have slipped away from us a couple of years ago.
We will miss our defence coach next year. I hope Bell is up to the job.
A mention for Baloucoune - a secret weapon. Again his defence is top notch. Shirley an International starter a some point.

[Thelaw]

Cooney was slow, predictable and missed 2 kicks I think. I could be wrong, beer has been taken. But Doak wants it more. And be honest Cooney time is over
