If it is a break, it could be ankle. Hopefully it isn't a break though.

by **Notch** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:20 pm

YESSSS!

Henderson is a tank. What the feic was that from Nikora?

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:20 pm

Bowe gets the try, but that was all about young Henderson.

by **rodders** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:20 pm

by Cari Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:20 pm

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Knew he'd come good. Yahoo

And THE important try too. Well done Henderson for setting it up.

by wolfball Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

double bollox, but seriously this Henderson lad, I really think we are looking at a serious star there... He has it all

by Gibson Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

What was Nikora doing there?

Suicide.

Well done Ulster.

by LeinsterFan4life Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

Same old story for Connacht. Stupid mistakes cost em.

by Guest Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

by Cari Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:23 pm

Well done Payne. Ulster won't be shoved off the top of the table then... Smile

by Gibson Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:23 pm

As expected. But it was so close for 70 mins.

by SecretFly Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:24 pm

Lam has a lot to do.

by neilthom7 Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:24 pm

Small Paul gets his 100th cap, well done wee man

by **rodders** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:24 pm

100 caps for Marshall! guinness

by **Notch** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:24 pm

Cari, Tommy Bowe is the first ever player to reach 50 tries in the Pro12. He's just beaten out Tim Visser by a whisker.

Also 100 caps for Paul Marshall. Well done Tommy and Small Parcel clap

by Cari Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:25 pm

Small Paul. That sounds really cute! laughing

Happy 100th clap

Welcome to the RDS Ulster.

Any spare tickets lads?

by **rodders** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:25 pm

Surely high on Olding there!

by wolfball Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:25 pm

ah well, great game lads and ladies, back to belief for the next game. Would love to see Ulster win the Rabo, Leinster the Amlin and Munster pull a miracle against Clermont!

Also, on Henderson again, Ireland clearly has players capable of playing a off-loading forwards and backs type game. Lets hope the next coach gives them a chance to do for Ireland what they do for their province.

I want to go, but if you're there for Leinster I'm not sitting next to you because Leinster always win when I do that Smile

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:27 pm

This kid Olding looks mustard.

by Cari Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:28 pm

35-17 FT in Glasgow.

by **rodders** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:29 pm

Is that good or bad? Erm

by **Notch** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:30 pm

Only 19 Pete, he really is top class- so well balanced.

This means whatever happens in the other games any kind of win at all will guarantee us 1st place. 4 points ahead of Glasgow- who also got the BP win- and at least 3 points ahead of Leinster.

We don't have to get the BP try next week, any kind of win at all at home to Blues will do the job.

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 9:31 pm

That'd be good rodders, thar'd be good. Laugh
