Or maybe the coaches watched his Senior Cup highlights and finally realised he’s the best kicker in the squad.
:lol: I'm sure that BS was put to bed after his misses last week!

I like the old school approach from Ulster, who picked the smallest fella at 9 and the fattest fella at 3.

Really enjoy watching Tommy O’Brien. Think he’ll be class. Hard to believe we’re 11 points ahead now. Have not deserved that, but out bench is a lot stronger so think we’ll finish strong now.

Don’t think he’s got much ball but his defence has been phenomenal.

Dev stepping in at 9 a few times and catching Lyttle after he’d gotten away from Larmour and ROL is pretty impressive!

Hard fought win. Thought Ulster played far better than they have done recently.

Could he do 45 in a row?

Agreed, that was a performance born, to a certain extent, out of embarrasment at recent efforts.
The intensity was absolutely top notch

Two very competitive Interpros with lots of impressive performances and great intensity across both games.

Other than Internationals, I have never seen Cian as knackered when substituted. Tagdh also was under pressure inscrum. Herring is top scrum operator and Kelleher was a huge improvement on Cronin.

To be picky, we could really have done wih the bonus point, but getting the win was the most important thing

He was in a real war in the scrum with Moore, it was a brilliant battle

Really hard fought win. We go on a lot about how easy our matches are some times and we don't get tested enough. Well we did tonight in spades. Fair play Ulster

Ferocious game. That was better than they have played against us in a number of seasons. Really enjoyed it ... apart from Toland's commentary which was the usual brand of faux-profound sh*te. Such a tool.

They forced a good few errors out of us and we made some of our own. Apart from Josh van der Flier, who makes no mistakes and cleans up after everybody else – what a player he is for us. Great to see Caelan Doris back out on the pitch, and very good to see Tommy getting a good run.

Fair play to Ross for getting through that match, he's obviously playing hurt. Good to see him bite down on the gumshield and get on with it.

What is the point of the goal line drop out after being held up?
Seems like you are punishing the attacking side for going after a try.
