Would seem so, rare for Ulster to be so open about the injury list. Normally treat it on a need to know basis etc.

Looks likely to be a rather damp DAY 5928.

It’s a bit early for pissing your jeans Mike!

Wonder if that was the anniversary Biden really wanted to come over and mark. Judging by his comments with Rob Kearney Biden must be a big rugby fan...

We only have the one Black and Tan at the moment and even he jumped ship…

Bradley Roberts not picked for the Dragons, or listed as unavailable. Shame he doesn't get a run out back here.

He’s featuring in the warm up.

OToole was furious going off there.

[MightyRearranger]

What happened to O'Toole? Out of the country and having VPN woes so only got watching as Mcann went over.

Pretty bad missed tackle from EOS for their try, didn't even slow his man down.

[thecrouch]

This ref is horrific. Breakdown is a free for all.

[MightyRearranger]

the penalty advantage for the scrum there lasted one phase?

Yea and was ended by a knock on

Biggest positive from the 30 minutes that I've seen was that Stockdale seems to have properly found his mojo. In with a shout of being our stand out player in the first half. Tom Stewart getting a first half brace almost seems like par for the course against a team like the Dragons these days.

All time URC try scoring recotd for a season for Stewart.
