It looks like I’m out of sync with general opinion again this week!
Last week I wasn’t overly impressed with Ulster’s win against Clermont and this week I thought they put in a much better performance against a well drilled and powerful Leicester side.
Yesterdays game was played at a whole different level and Ulster were in no way found wanting, playing with much more power, pace and precision than they have done in previous weeks.
