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!

I will never say this publicly again....Saracens are a very useful team, defensively very strong with the ability to score tries. They may go all the way.........please no.

They play perfect HEC rugby. Expansive sides don't tend to do well in high-pressure scenarios. You need to do the basics really really well. Kicking game, defence and a brutal pack are the keys to success in the HEC. Anything else is a real bonus. At full strength, Ulster have those qualities with a bot extra in the backline. Unfortuntely we never really got the chance to show it. Baaaaaaaaa
Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'

Boring but effective is a good way to describe their style

Got in from work and saw the last try & have just watched the first 30 odd minutes with Sarries 21-3 up. I can watch no more. They certainly got the rub of the green from the ref.

I genuinely admire Brits, who is a quality player and person IMHO. However, I simply find it impossible to like any side with Ashton & Farrell in it. Illogical & immature that view may be but I just can't help it.

I hope Munster pull off one of their famous victories tomorrow and then dump the Saracens franchise on their collective a£se in the Final.

It's extremely annoying to think that even with the team we could've put out today, it probably would've been enough to win. G'wan ya Turnips.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Would love to see Munster go all the way and win the H Cup
Unfortunately I think that Saracens simply have to turn up and the Ref will ensure they are given a 14=21 point start possibly playing against 14 men
Recent Ref/TMO decisioms leave me feeling very sad

Some of you guys are just bad losers. We stuffed you at Ravenhill and destroyed Clermont with a load of tries without reply as we did with you guys. You need to get over the QF defeat and move on.

Roll on Cardiff roll on a win.

You're right about being sore losers; wrong about stuffing at Ravenhill; right about destroying ASM.

A very impressive display from Sarries today. Shut down ASM brilliantly. Defensive line speed (and reading the ref's vision of off-side) were superb, and left them with no game to play. Tackle count was stupid. Disagreed with several of Owens' decissions, espec the penalty try, but Sarries played him expertly. Homework had been done and the results showed.

Unlike the qf, that was a Sarries performance deserving of a win. Fair play to them.

Maybe my comments were equally for the bad losers.
