Different competition but not quite at this level

A very good performance by Cooney overall. Thought Marcus Rea had a very good 55 minutes and when Ulster were under the cosh in the first half he seemed like he was fighting a lone battle at times. Lowry made some lovely breaks.

10 points after 2 games. can't argue with that.

55 points away from home must be up there.

39 points conceded is a little worrying. Hopefully it’s just the lads getting used to a new defence coach’s systems.
Tbh I expected this to be a much closer affair so very happy.
Here’s to 5 points against the ladybiys That’s a game that Matty Rea can’t be involved in. Hopefully Reffell isn’t badly injured.

Really big shift from Marcus Rea again. Leinster’s back row will be very strong next week regardless of who they put out, so him and Timoney will be very much needed. Big call to see who’ll get the other back row shirt, would go for McCann personally with Jordi on the bench but Dan seems to rate Matty so I’d imagine it’ll be him.

Big call to see who starts on the other wing as well as Stockdale, the Emerging Ireland tour has very much screwed us over in this with no Baloucoune or McIlroy and Sexton probably injured.

We can't go into big games with matty starting in the back row. I counted at least 4 blatent errors today that should not be acceptable at professional level.

I counted at least six errors Jean and I probably missed some.

Just now watched the game. Great advert for rugby. Lineout still not as safe as it ought to be but not really complaining. Looking forward to next week.

You are absolutely right Solids, it was a very good advert for rugby in general, and also for the URC. I’m sure the boys enjoyed that, which hopefully will give them confidence for next week.

He wasn't great at times. Marcus was superb. I would like to see more of Harry Sheridan tbh.

Yeah, I would like to see Sheridan get a few games under his belt, although perhaps not against Leinster.
That might be a baptism of fire. I agree though, he does have potential.

Was trying to charge down a kick iirc. Possibly a hammy or he maybe jarred a knee.

Crazy game really.

Our D looked as solid as Worcester last season!

Marcus arguably deserved MOTM for the try and the turnover that decided the match, although he did butcher the try scoring chance first thing.

Pipped only by beating Zebre 57 - 14 away in recent memory. Coetzee grabbed a first half hat trick, scoring four in total.

They did use to be ulster's bogey team away, albeit they were a pretty good side I think a few seasons ago we beat all the Welsh sides away

55 is also Scarlets 2nd highest points conceded at home apparently.
