How did Cooney not get MOM?
Racing phoned it in, including Kolisi and their galacticos apart from Fickou. Very poor. Only played when they sniffed a BP.Their 9 and 15 were their best players.

Because McCloskey was better.

Not sure it was all due to Racing not turning up. We really turned up and were in their faces when they attacked. Having said that, they did find spaces and we had to make too many last ditch tackles... but we did make them.

Cooney was excellent, as was James Hume. Timoney and Kitsoff both very good too.
As with any win like that, everyone did their jobs very well, a few glitches aside.

Have we ever played well when Big Stu hasn’t?
Bit of invention five yards out too.
Same again against Connacht please.

Their big names were very quiet Solidarity. We played well with some exceptions, but Racing weren't at the races, pardon the pun. Imo they'd checked out after the home Quins loss

see my comments on the Bath game--- different ref different result
if a referee is looking for penalties he 'll find an offence -- which is why so many penalties are awarded inside the 5 yard line
Ulster won but was it a great win not many breaks by the backs basically a win earned by way of defence and some sloppy play by Racing
I like a win but its not a new dawn --the back row and 10 have yet to be resolved to many passes to wings are flat and the wing is not at pace
watch the Leinster game and how Sale passed to the wings at speed whole different ball game

Checked out why?
They got two points last week and will have to let Cardiff beat them in Paris to avoid ending up in the Challenge Cup.

Has to be a 'big call' or else Billy won't hear, above the Ravenhill roar, that he is being subbed off.

Seemed to me like we had more breaks from the backs than the rest of the season combined.

I have now seen this game twice. How we won surprises me . Racing were very fluent at stages . I was talking to a few of them afterwards and they found the referees interpretations a little puzzling. Still we mustn’t gripe .

He was only on for about 40 minutes in total, but though Rob Herring put in an incredible shift in the loose. Last year I was expecting Stewart to be first choice by now, but Herring has found another level.
