Beautiful kick by Evans (I think, watching a stream without sound)

Cynical defence by dan evans...! in the bin

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:41 pm

damn

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:41 pm

Ken Owens looking good...!

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:42 pm

bloody hell Dan Toughy's made some good boshes

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:43 pm

Great stuff from Paul Marshall - fantastic piece of enterprise.

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:43 pm

Well played Ulster, amazing work by Marshall at nine, great break... Try Ferris

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:43 pm

aweful, awful defending - why aren't we defending around the rucks?

by wales606 Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:44 pm

Ulster take advantage of the Scarlets lack of a FB there.

Try Ferris

Ulster 8 - 10 Scarlets

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:44 pm

8 - 10 to scarlets 36 mins gone

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:45 pm

Great adventure by Ulster here...

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:46 pm

Ulster's got their tails up. Scarlets have got to stay in the lead until halftime

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:47 pm

Unfortunately Adam Warren has limped off for Iolo Evans

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:48 pm

Good forward pass call by Rolland, lots of reffs wouldn't haven called it

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:48 pm

Hope to god Adam D'Arcy isnt injured with Payne out for the season already - we'd be down to Danielli at fullback and nothing else behind him.

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:50 pm

half time called over half a minute early

i think mr rolland was a bit chilly. weather looks awful, im glad i am at home with the fire on, not taking up a mates offer to go watch this in belfast..

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:55 pm

Paul Marshall the player of the first half there... great scrum half..

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:56 pm

Good points by the pundits. Pienaar should come on for Humphries hes having a shocker.

by Shifty Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:58 pm

I thought home refs were not allowed in the Rabo?

Why do we have Irish refs at the Liberty for Irish teams, and Irish refs away as well? lol Whistle

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 7:59 pm

Looks like the Spence family are full of talent... Plug of the century there...!

Bad call mate, the ref is having a good game...!

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:01 pm

yea i was worried but hes been pleasantly unbiased

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:02 pm

Maybe he is French ?

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:02 pm

Ulster have been getting Welsh refs in Wales and Scottish refs in Scotland a lot recently as well - Rolland having a good game so some people maybe looking for something that isnt there. Wink

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:06 pm

Good reffing by Rolland there. Some Ulstermen might not agree Very Happy

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:08 pm

wow... this game is all over the place end for end stuff here...!

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:08 pm

Ulster going for a second penalty of the half

and gets it

14 -10

Nope, I am not to concerned if the Blues and Scarlets lose to be honest, as long as the Ospreys win!

Keep these updates coming lads. Am out at the mo and the bbc sports website is really slow.

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:24 pm

17-10 humphries slotting over from just inside the scarlets half

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:24 pm

Ulster 17 -10 Scarlets

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:25 pm

Penalty to Ulster for infringing in the rucks
17-10

Scrappy stuff with momentum swinging a lot

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:26 pm

at least iestyn t is on for John

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:27 pm

Considering this is the scarlets B-Team they are doing well though. Ulster are trying to play some great rugby, well both sides are trying, the weather is absolutely appalling.

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:28 pm

Emyr Phillps on for Ken Owens
Damien Welch on for Adam Powell

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:28 pm

Trevisio beating Connacht - they're really coming along aren't they?

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:28 pm

Pienaar for Marshall too...!

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:28 pm

Ruan Pienaar comes on for Paul Marshall.

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:29 pm

UNBELIEVABLE hand off from Stephen Ferris.

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:29 pm

great try by the man / monster that is stephen ferris

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:29 pm

That is absolutely appalling defending from the Scarlets - where's the tackling!!?!?!?

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:30 pm

22-10 ferris try

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:30 pm

apologies 24-10 after conversion

by Shifty Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:31 pm

Looks like your going to town a bit now

by gowales Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:31 pm

Well Ferris is MASSIVE man and rapid as well. Most backs would struggle to tackle him

by wales606 Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:32 pm

Score?

by Artful_Dodger Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:32 pm

Yeh - wouldnt be too harsh on Iongi, dont think many wingers would of stopped Ferris there.

by maestegmafia Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:34 pm

24 - 10 ulster 69 gone

by glamorganalun Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:35 pm

Tackling service from last year returned, don't they teach scarlets players to go low as Wales demonstrated from the WRC!

by Smirnoffpriest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 8:35 pm

it wasn't so much Ionghi but we missed around 3 tackles and there was loads of space for Ulster. And I'm frustrated
