[GIGS20]

Looking good, now all I need is a close pittsbugh win or a draw in the NFL!

So.... Andrew Trimble for Ireland number 11?

If you didn;t - or even of you did - catch video, I recommend having a look at the tries: Ulsters "Unofficial" Supporters Club - UAFC have kindly made them available here: http://www.uafc.co.uk/video.htm

Good collection of snaps here too: http://www.ulster-rugby-photos.co.uk/UvST/

The first is a great peice of work finished off by trimble, and the turn of pace by Boss and Trimble in the 2nd and 3rd are fabulous - class rugby

I'd be very interested to hear opinion on the disallowed try too...

At the time of this game, Western Force were bottom of the ladder, the Crusaders were top of the ladder (This is how the season ended too - but thats besides the point) and scores were tied with but a few minutes of play left...

It was a really good match, although Toulouse picked up their game significantly in the second half ~ neither side scored. Out of all three tries, my personal favourite was Isaac Boss's; well played from the initial play by Humphreys.

Tommy Bowe's injury could be a worry for the next match against Scarlets on Friday.

G'day Gemma - Welcome!
I was impressed with that try too. I've got the game downloading now, so will watch it in full tonight

Totally agree Gemma, I think that on another thread someone mentioned the Harlem Globetrotters, well believe it or not that was exactly what I said on the Promenade at the time. Boss sold the more audacious dummy pass and space seemed to open for him, I think he surprised himself to find no-one at home and a run for the line.

Coach when you watch the game I would be interested to know what you thought of the first conversion. From my position at the game I was absolutely convinced that Humph missed, the ball seemed to drift wide at the last second. Now it may have been the sun in my eyes, or more likely the beer in my bloodstream but I though that a bit harsh on Toulouse.
