Ulster v Cardiff

First topic message reminder :

Diack and Henry set to get their 100th caps.

Good to see Doyle back, he looked promising enough at the beginning of the season.


Forwards (16)? Johann Muller, Callum Black, John Afoa, Robbie Diack, Iain Henderson, Declan Fitzpatrick, Dan Tuohy, Ricky Lutton, Rory Best, Mike McComish, Lewis Stevenson, Chris Henry, Nick Williams, Tom Court, Sean Doyle, Rob Herring;

Backs (11)? Michael Allen, Ruan Pienaar, Paddy Jackson, Paul Marshall, Darren Cave, Andrew Trimble, Tommy Bowe, Jared Payne, Peter Nelson, Craig Gilroy, Stuart Olding.

What a drop goal!

Patchell's place kicking has become very reliable and now he is showing off his drop goals

ooh O's just scored thank feck. I was fearing a drubbing.

Do you think Olding will be going on the summer tour then?

Damn, missed it - trying to watch 3 games at once is hard

Think so Cari has had a great ending to the season, Chris Henry winning that pen for us there

Two's bad enough for me!! I've got this one on the PC and the TV on mute for the O's game. Biggar scored and converted.

ooh unlucky mistake there...

AH he's got to go for that

Sorry Tommy, nothing dodgy there. He knew that he's smiling...

No, Tommy lost that anyway.

Missed another O's try!

Sexton is injured!

OMG! what a superb try by the O's...scored with Sexytoes on his back. Worryingly though, Sexytoes is injured.

Sexytoes staying on, I think he should come off.

I dunno the man came across him I would have said he obstructed him outside of a natural run but hey ho we need to play better here and cut out the mistakes

Neilly it'll be third time lucky for Tommy...you'll see

Cardiff are playing rather well

haha you know it Cari lol

Bit late in the season for that!

JEEESUS, Nick Williams you can't hold onto a ball in contact

I've got to say, this has been very, very poor from Ulster. BBC NI have been incredibly charitable and one-eyed about the standard of our play. It's been dire.

Constants knock ons and spills, struggling with the conditions which is not what we've come to expect. Our set piece has the been the only good things need to make Blues play in their own half but their kicking game has been better so far.

Blues have defended very well and contested at the breakdown, but they've been poor at both set pieces. We keep handing them the ball back.

Pienaar at 10 is looking like a baffling call. He's having a poor game.

Blues playing well...could've done with a few more performances like this.

Blues scrum has been second best against everyone this season,

I think I have underestimated the impact Bradley Davies on the Blues - he has been missed

Been the same for the last few seasons improve towards the end afte an abysmal start may have something to do with the revolving door in several key positions

I wouldn't have expected the Blues to be ahead at halftime, with the Scarlets losing and the Ospreys being only 5pts down having been 12 - 0 down.

Oh dear...weather conditions deteriorating...Ulster have the wind at their backs though.

Seems like they had that in the first half!

Commentator keeps calling Patchell - Pratchell, childhood bullying going on

Will this be another chance lost due to our inability to scrummage?

Leinster go 10 up

Great try Trimbs!

Trimby scores...just as Conway does for Leinster.

Treviso have has 2 players yellow carded in the last 2 minutes

I expect the Scarlets will be back in the lead soon.

I've noticed Shanklin often calls him Patchwell for some reason.

Oh look, Robinson responsible for another Ulster try.

i was hoping that O's would at least get a LBP...that's slipping away now...

Scarlets just had to defend a 4 on 2 overlap while Treviso only have 13 players - how is that possible?

At half-time he was Pratchett

Poor lad, we'll definitely remember his name in a few years. He's a good 'un. Trimble is so strong! But can't believe two Cardiff players weren't enough to hold him up.

Scarlets are awful

Treviso are about to be +8pts since they went down to 13!

His name's Pratchell...Pratchett and he looks like Prince Harry...

Make that +10

Maybe we should just go ahead and call him harry lol Jackson is on for us Pienaar has gone to 9

Referee is doing an excellent job so far.

Sweeney on at FB

Commentator curses Patchell, off the post

Just wondering like, when Irish supporters travel to France do they do as the Romans do and make loads of noise when either kicker is kicking?

If that's allowed, it'll be superb...

Harry Robinson responsible for ANOTHER Ulster try?!

What a pillock, how is he in the Wales squad?

MORON

Good buzz on the hill tonight

ooh that's a tough call...
