I've gone for an outlier. From the commentary, Treaders seemed to get a fair number of very positive mentions, so, recognising that Hume was probably the outstanding player in the game, it's a vote for the oft ignored engine room.

The reasoning being the lift of the legs was the illegal act not the taking the player to ground which would have been acceptable but for the lift

In the instant of Balacoune one Player lifted his feet above his head and the second drove his shoulder into the ground .

Take a Saturday out one person holds a person while his mate sticks a knife in are both guilty — yes

The laws are inadequate if the ref cannot deal with that type of foul play with maximum punishment.

Lowrys composure should have won it but that kick from Cooney. I didn’t think he had the boot for a 50 meter plus kick. Plus the fact that he plays alongside a nonexistent 10.

Lowry came of age in that game.

Wouldn't mind being good enough to be an Ulster cap behind that non existent 10 of yours. Or an Ireland cap for that matter.

Cooney's last kick was massive in every way. If he had missed it would have been a 6 point game and we know what would likely have happened....a la Gloucester last year.

3 really tight games in the Heiny - Bath away a couple of years ago, Gloucester last year and Clermont this time where we have been leading and in possession in a comfortable area with a minute or so to go and ended up scrambling on our own try line. Lostlineouts at Bath and Clermont and silly knock on against Gloucester.

He’s stealing a living at the minute for me. I hope he comes good though and gains the confidence that comes with it.
