Ulster bringing the Champain (pun obviously intended). Liking what I've seen from McCloskey so far and the feet on Gilroy even in zero space.

It's so far so good but I'm kinda waiting for this one to blow up messily.

Unsure if that's a yellow but the large run up did make it look worse... problem is he struggled to find someone to bind on!!

Loving the rush defence of ulster, and Luke Marshall in particular playing nicely with great angles, perfect defensive decision making and gilroy looking strong too!!

 

[Groundhog]

Toulouse literally bamboozled by Pienaar falling over, concede yellow card #2

 

[Jakedood]

Thats magnificent by pienaar! Clinical finishing too. Ulster (he said tentatively ) are starting to finally grab a little bit of form!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come Pienaar can play so well for his club but so terribly for the Springboks?

Ulster are just utterly dominating Toulouse here.

 

[lynam1104]

Best game I've seen Marshal play in a long time, lots of subtle involvement's making an impact for Ulster. Also van der Merwe is a pretty handy, gets about a lot but doesn't seem to get to many plaudits.

 

[dragos03]

Very poor rugby from Toulouse, the club with the biggest budget in Europe.

 

[Groundhog]

Ooh baby

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Amazing cross field kick.

 

[Groundhog]

McCloskey has just made **** of Tolouse

 

[munstermuffin]

Ulster missing loads and still tearing **** up. McCloskey looks the real deal and him and Henshaw look like they'd be a great combo

A lot more clean possession and maybe more confidence.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Could this season see the end of the French moneymen dominance of Europe?
Toulon and Toulouse both been battered by clubs with a fraction of the playing budget.

I think poor old Toulouse's goose has been cooked for a few years now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They're still joint 2nd (with Toulon) in the Top 14, only 1pt behind first. Not like they're in free fall.

 

[Groundhog]

Oh, quite right. Just have memories of them being embarrassed a few times in recent seasons

 

[TommiG88]

Saracens looking strong.

Hate to say it, Farrell is looking good.

Edit: I could see a lot of Saracens players in the England team on this performance. George, Itoje and Fraser looking very good.
