    The Ulster pack had a fair amount of experience and the back row a mix of pace and muscle (bulk anyway )

    NoC showed he could still kick a ball a good distance but we all know I wanted to see if had developed his game beyond that – I still don’t know

    Diack I have always consider a good player but not the best ball carrier.

    As a pre-season work out and an opportunity for Anscombe to assess his second string and future potential it was a successful game nothing more nothing less the fact that both sides never took a penalty kick at the posts is a reasonable indication that the result was not considered the most important priority. Given the nature of the XVs on the field I would conclude that the moment Leicester have more problems to sort out than Ulster.

    When I saw the youthful Ulster team lining up against a fairlyl full strength Leicester team, I thought that it was going to be at least +30 points for the tigers. However cerdit to the Ulster young guns they took the game to the tigers with the scrum working well against a very experienced tigers scrum. Big Robbie had a great game showing the potential we all knew he had but had kept it hidden until the tailend of last season. NOC had a steady game on his return to the fortress, Marshall & Farrell combined well in the centre and as you rightly say John, young Chris edged it from all the backs on show. Neil McComb has certainly beefed up andwill be interesting to see if he gets some serious game time. Roll on Friday night til we get to see some more.
