Lets do this c'mon Ulster

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 5:38 am

Aww Mark Bennett looks like he's at his first day at work!

by GLove39 Sat May 23, 2015 5:43 am

Haven't felt this tense since I was at the Stoop.
Mon the Weege!!!

by **profitius** Sat May 23, 2015 5:43 am

I'm looking forward to this game. It should be close and entertaining as both teams play good rugby.

by **Notch** Sat May 23, 2015 5:44 am

I'm sick with nerves, lets make history tonight...

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 5:47 am

Perfect start Ulster!

by GLove39 Sat May 23, 2015 5:47 am

Well that was anticlimactic

by Guest Sat May 23, 2015 5:48 am

Pienaar taking the kicks....and 3 points Yahoo

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 5:50 am

Think it's fair to say there's going to be a lot of ruck penalties tonight.

by asoreleftshoulder Sat May 23, 2015 5:55 am

Henderson is really making a mark in so far,he is going to be an absolute legend of Ulster and Irish rugby injury permitting.

by tigertattie Sat May 23, 2015 5:57 am

Some terrible arrows from both hookers

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 5:57 am

Absolutely breathless game so far!

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:00 am

That's the first success Hogg has had in years!

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:01 am

Bad decision pyrgos

by tigertattie Sat May 23, 2015 6:04 am

Both teams putting in some massive hits. It hurts just watching

by GLove39 Sat May 23, 2015 6:05 am

Very well worked & patient try

by Guest Sat May 23, 2015 6:06 am

TRY ULSTER!!!!! Yahoo

by **profitius** Sat May 23, 2015 6:06 am

Great try that. Cracking match so far.

by GLove39 Sat May 23, 2015 6:06 am

NIKO sold himself there

by VinceWLB Sat May 23, 2015 6:06 am

Glasgow defence hasn't been as great as previous years this season.

by VinceWLB Sat May 23, 2015 6:08 am

Nakarawa on for Kellock, panic substitution?

by asoreleftshoulder Sat May 23, 2015 6:08 am

Some lovely passing from Jackson,he's really stepping up this season.Great to see from the young lad.

by GLove39 Sat May 23, 2015 6:10 am

Think he was injured. Plus with binoculars one can ruck inspect from the sidelines

by Guest Sat May 23, 2015 6:11 am

Scrum penalty for Ulster. What a relief Very Happy

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:14 am

Huge blow for Glasgow losing Kellock and Brown already

by VinceWLB Sat May 23, 2015 6:15 am

Did i miss something, was Brown injured too

by tigertattie Sat May 23, 2015 6:18 am

Ryan grant really has been dissapointing since his lions outing

by VinceWLB Sat May 23, 2015 6:18 am

That was poor from Grant, basically gave Clancy no choice other than ping him.

Worrying scoreline considering the wind advantage.

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:19 am

Both went off at the same time

Panic call, bad for team spirit..

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:23 am

Why did Glasgow not take the feckin points??

by tigertattie Sat May 23, 2015 6:24 am

Are all the officials Irish?

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:27 am

Glasgow set piece disintegrating

by VinceWLB Sat May 23, 2015 6:28 am

Matawalu on the wing was quite a daft call with both Lamont and DTH on the bench..

by **RDW** Sat May 23, 2015 6:32 am

Get out of jail free for Glasgow.

Ulster were much, much better that half.

by **Notch** Sat May 23, 2015 6:33 am

Trademark Clancy scrum penalty. Figures, but he's had a good game.

Would be feeling a hell of a lot better if we had put away more of our chances. Could/should be in double figures. Sky are giving it the big talk and Ulster have been the better team, but there's no such thing as an 8-6 beating. Always one intercept, penalty, mistake, card away from seeing the game turn.

by Guest Sat May 23, 2015 6:33 am

Good first half for Ulster. Second half with the wind at our backs gives us a bit of added edge.

by neilthom7 Sat May 23, 2015 6:34 am

Wow thats a tight half, this is tense, I may need to visit a hospital just watching the agression in these defence

by **BigGee** Sat May 23, 2015 6:36 am

Lot of work to do Glasgow, it would help if we could secure our own ball. Expect to see front row changes soon, wingers as well!

See, this is why I wanted to play Glasgow and avoid Munster. If we were playing Munster and everything else was the same we'd be going off talking about how they were wily enough to eke out a 9-8 lead against the run of play with everything to go for in the second half. I don't think the wind will be that big a factor in the second half but we'll see.

Glasgow still have a great chance to win the game of course, this game so far has gone identically to our away semi-final last year in the RDS- hopefully with a different ending but we need to turn pressure and possession into points more in these big games.

by Chunky Norwich Sat May 23, 2015 6:40 am

Absolutely disgraceful refereeing from Clancy. especially in the run up to the Ulster try. Identical in the side to what Glasgow were penalised for but totally ignored 3 yards infront of him.

The 4 Irish officials won't let Ulster lose this one.

Rancid competition.

by Chunky Norwich Sat May 23, 2015 6:40 am

Interesting to see who will referee Pro-12 final if Ulster reach it. Van Morrison? Gerry Adams? Molly Malone?

Just to rescue this thread, everyone please ignore the plonker above.

They are showing the Gilroy "tackle" and that was a complete dive from Matawalu.

by the-goon Sat May 23, 2015 6:44 am

Great game. Ulster need to take the opportunities, they have left some real chances go a begging.

Glasgow will have a purple patch, too good a team not to.

This is on a knife edge and simply a fantastic game.

So nervous, Leinster fan, urging on Ulster.

by **Notch** Sat May 23, 2015 6:44 am

Can I just say, I'm very sorry to see Big Al Kellock off with injury in his last home game. I've always had the utmost respect for Big Al and while I'm hoping that Ulster win of course, it's still a shame to see him have to go early.
