Baird has been brilliant today and it hasn't been the flashy stuff, he's just really fronted up.

Inspiring stuff.

Can't remember a bigger contract between a second and first half performance in a long time.

Absolutely excellent. Even in first half he was all over the place.

There's a game in 2011 that springs to mind.

Never in doubt, never in doubt.

9 ahead in the league and now 13 ahead of Ulster iirc.

Massive win for that reason too.

Well, test passed......

We needed a game like this badly.....

What a performance.

Ringers, Porter, Baird, Jenkins and Sheehan all incredible in that second half.

Ulster must be scratching their heads, going 'what happened'....

12 ahead of ulster so massive result. They've a game in hand.

Jenkins ability to carry bad ball and generate 1-2 yards is very impressive and a real boost to our game.

I'd be going
Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, Ryan, Jenkins, Baird, VDF, Doris next week.

Ringer making an eejit of Hume for that try was pretty sweet I must say.

Never in doubt and what great resolve in deciding how to play them. So many good second half performances but not in first-half where mistakes and rustiness abounded.

Osborne survived this level well. Hugo was magnificent & Lowe, eventually, found his mojo. Ryan and Jenkins were immense when they were together and Baird & JVdF were in the thick of everything.

Conan ahead of Doris? Or are you looking at Doris as impact from the bench against a battered racing?

Sorry I mean Doris of course. Conan looks out of sorts to me.

Hopefully just a blip, he does look very laboured and I say that as someone who'd been defending Conan's form all last season.

I suspect that two of our best first-half scrums were a direct result of Kelleher v Stewart. IMO, Healy won his battle with Moore - as limited as it was. The selection of Hooker won't be easy & I'd start with Kelleher next week.

Healy made the decision for 17 straightforward.

I’d be worried that we won’t have Furlong. Was it ankle or calf?

Scrummaging in France would be a huge step up for Clarkson, if needed.
