Anyhoooo, more updates.....
we lose,
we lose,
we draw,
we lose.....
in more detail, and in order;
Dragons 31 - 11 Ulster:(
Ulster performance not good enough
Ulster couldn't produce a good enough performance on Saturday to make a dent in the Dragons' armour. Too many mistakes and just poor baisc play left Ulster chasing the game the whole way, despite O'Conner taking the early lead with a penalty.
Poor discipline led to two more yellow cards for Ulster, who ended the game losing for the first time at Rodney Parade Tom Court scored Ulster's only try but too little too late.
Llanelli Scarlets 32 - 8 Ulster:(
Appalling Ulster keeps their deserved spot at the bottom
Ulster had flashes of brilliance, but nothing sustainable, and ended up giving away a bonus point to Scarlets this evening. Ulster defence was poor overall with missed tackles and narrow lines, leaving the Turks with gaps and yards of open space.
Despite a try from Tommy Bowe, Ulster never looked threatening, and are left wallowing at the bottom of the Magner's League, Irish internationals back on duty couldn't help the beleaguered side make a dent on the Welsh continued dominace in the league.
Leinster 16 - 16 Ulster:S
A rare result!!
Leinster dominated in the 1st half, Ollie le-Roux particularly driving ther forwards into an emphatic display. Leinster could have scored more tries than they did, and were unlucky to only be going in 6 nil up at half time.
Ulster must have had a blasting at half-time, and with the change of Humphreys for Wallace came out all guns blazing. Humphreys led from the front and took the game to Leinster, commanding the field and providing opportunites to attack from.
A Humphreys inspired attack led, supported by Cunningham, who passed to Trimble to score under the posts, a further penalty and drop goal secured a draw when Ulster looked nowhere near scoring. Leinster failed to capitualte on their 1st half dominance, and paid the price from a rejuvenated Ulster team, led by the main man; David Humphreys.
Glasgow 25 - 6 Ulster:mad:
A good try, but ultimately lost
Glasgow played the better rugby, and displayed better possession throughout to win by a comfotable margin. To be fair, Ulster did play some good rugby, but individual handling errors, and some indiscipline allowed Glasgow to have more go forward ball, and opportunities to score, Dan Parks scoring 20 points from the boot.
Ulster tried hard, and their forwards were more determined than last week, providing good strong ball for the backs, and making several good driving mauls, and attacking scrums, but the score was nevr forthcoming despite these efforts. The glasgow defense was just too much, and ulster were repelled time and again.
Humphreys kicking was poor tonight, and three of his restarts resulted in Glasgow scrums back where the kick was taken. Paddy wallace was brought on in the second, but in the centre to partner Trimble who in my view had a great game with lots of good running lines, defensive tackling and great support play.
actually Trimble was moved to the wing, where he disappeared into anonymity, despite being the Ulster player who had played the best all game.
