Despite Patrick Jackson contributing 16 points, Ulster run out of steam in the second half to give the home side a rare win over their northern neighbours. It was a case … [more],

    John – agree with your comments re Jacko unlikely to replace Humph forthe semis but possibly starting on fri night. Diack had a poor game as did most of the forwards with the exception of McComish who I thought had a very good game despite taking a big hit from a blatant dangerous shoulder charge from McCarthy ( I think) which is worthy of a citing. It was far more dangerous than Afoa’s effort on Jones. The others who had a reasonable game were Spence, Terblanche, D’Arcy and small Paul. Overall I think that although its 4 points lost we were never going to seriously challange for anything better than 4th place, therefore the management have ‘thrown’ in the towel as far as the pro12 is concerned and aiming for the H cup. Great if it comes off, but 4 points would have given us the plan B i.e. the pro12 playoffs just in case, and it was do-able even with the number of changes made in the team.

    Since Ulsters chances in the pro 12 are slim due to the fact that Ulster must face both leinster and Munster in the next few weeks as well as a ERC semi why chase two dreams

    and risk players bring injured etc but by doing so all the eggs are in one basket.

    I doubt if the call was made by Mcglocks on his own .

    Oh well that’s the RaboDirect Pro 12 over with McGlock putting all his eggs firmly in the Heineken basket, too many experiments in the selection for my liking.

    The odds are Connaught 4/6 Ulster 6/5.

    Raging Raven selection is Connaught +2 at 10/11 (Hanicap) 👿
