Bah.

Come on Ulster !

ray jay

It seems the momentum is turning Ulster's way but they need to start scoring.

thomond2006

Ulster not making the territory count.

awec

Nick Williams really is an absolute beast.

thomond2006

Ulster showing Munster a lesson of how to kick behind a side.

thomond2006

You have to give Glasgow credit, they are holding out here really well.

awec

Good defending there

Fireball07

Have to say that was good defence by Glasgow...but Ulster seem to have the momentum now

shuffol

Same as last week, very sloppy in opponents 22.

dropkickrugby

stating the obvious bt ulster really should have got something from that passage of play

irishbucsfan

The Glasgow back line would average against the Ravens

thomond2006

Well Mark, you're probably the only one being entertained by that racket.

awec

Ugh, short again.

ray jay

CMON ULSTER

awec

Right, come on. Lets get a try please!

Fireball07

Good try.

Get in there, huge lead in the circumstances

good all season

Good man, CH. Having a belter. These are the sort of games you have to grind out if you want to be considered contenders and they really are doing it well.

thomond2006

and now you can hear the R...R...R... Ulster fans have travelled over en masse it seems

3-16; Jackson penalty

ray jay

The Ulster scrum is so inconsistent, fine sometimes but getting demolished on occasion. Still, Glasgow need two converted tries to win this and they haven't looked threatening in that regard.

Fireball07

Glasgow have been very poor when they have got any possession, bad decision-making all the time. Contrast that with Pienaar who seems to do the right thing every time.

irishbucsfan

Eh, where exactly is the advantage to kicking the ball out on the full?

shuffol

Best wins the penalty.

ray jay

Luke Marshall on for Cave.

I've said it before, Afoa is not a great scrummager. He relies on pure power. When he comes up against someone that can't handle it, he wins easily. However, if he encounters someone with technique, he struggles (Ross easily was on top in the HEC final). In NZ, it was considered his Achilles heal to the extent they even tried turning him into a hooker as other aspects of his game were so strong:

Henry making a real nuisance of himself again.

Scioch

Henry surely MOTM, had a fantastic game.

ssaye

Best motm

thomond2006

3-19; Jackson penalty. Sin é.

awec

Game over. That'll do it.

duckysauce

should be Henry imo

ray jay

No surprise Best gets man of the match.

thomond2006

Good crossfield kick and try for Glasgow. Too little too late.

awec

Glasgow try. Far from ideal that.

Scioch

wanna see that again, looked like a knock on.

Nope, looks good.

I'd have given it to Henry personally Best messed up a couple of lineouts so I wouldn't have given it to him personally

ssaye

V poor conversion

Tox56

Some fairly blatant crossing in the build up to that try no?

I'd agree that earlier in the game Best's work in the lineout should have been better but he was great otherwise. Henry did very well too though.

Fireball07

I'd have given motm to one of Best, Pienaar or Henry. Lineout was dodgy but Best was excellent around the field. Pienaar controlled the game really and Henry's defensive work and work at the breakdown was great.

awec

Game over. Woooo!
