Re: Northampton 16th Jan
Outhalf is still a problem. But at the moment I wouldn't move Lowry from 15. Great win. Why couldn't we play like that against Munster. Have to mention Hume. Made yards every time with the ball, hits hard tackles and has stepped up this season. Can't wait to see Stockdale Lowry and ballybeen on the same side

We do. He is called Paddy and was shafted by irfupaddybrown wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 6:13 pm Difference between Billy and Madge is that Billy has the skillset and Madge has the confidence. If we could combine them into one, we'd have a hell of a player.

Re: Northampton 16th Jan
That was a superb performance from Ulster considering the number of first choice players we are missing. And what a great young backline - worth the season ticket alone!
As Austin Healy said - there won't be many teams wanting to play us once we get to the knockout stage.

Great win. Absolutely lethal in attack.
Our defence needs a bit of work though before the knockouts. Both Saints tries were very soft from us.

Thought burns was better today and took it to the line a bit more, I was delighted to see Mads back on until his brain fart.
Before that though when we had two kickable penalties at the start of the yellow and we got nothing from them when they were kickable.
Just hoping we back this up next week and secure a home match quarterfinal.

A classic chant comes to mind when we're drawn against Northampton: 'Can we play you every week?'

Re: Northampton 16th Jan
Not often all our tries come from the backs, and three of them from the back 3 too.
Not a driving maul try in sight.
Rob was banking on one but Mads cokced it up.

Very good win. As Sparky says a win next week guarantees a home Quarter Final. Winner of Pool gets home country advantage in Semi Final. Would need to get more match points than Racing 92 who host Saints in Disco Arena.

Great venue to visit.
My travelling days are past, but Franklyn gardens was a great place to go to.
Good home fans over there too. Great craic.

Re: Northampton 16th Jan
Waiting on Neil to give us the best guess of who we might play in last 16. The bottom 6 in pool B all have tough games next week. I have a hunch we might get connacht. We need to be aiming for top 2 finish with will guarantee a home QF should we get there.

Re: Northampton 16th Jan
Now supporting Sale! What’s the chances they win and Clermont like Montpellier send the academy over?

Clermont not at full strength. Sale 5 nil up after 7 minutes
This could get interesting for us very quickly!
