He fell off a lot of tackles the week before against Edinburgh too, but apart from that he has been excellent

Falloon has been the signing of the summer for me. Outstanding, just goes to show what an embarrassment of riches Ulster have in the back-row if he was allowed to leave.

I remember seeing two of them, one particularly bad, and Loughs fell off another bad one too if I remember rightly. But overall he had a great game. He's very solid and while I've no stats to back this up, he doesn't seem to give away many penalties given how busy he is. Danie Poolman had his best game in the Sportsground too IMO, so all in all the new boys are doing what they were brought in to do.

pity he's out of the game at the weekend

He is?! Dam how long for?

Small criticism of JOC too is the penalty he gave away with 78:34 on the clock. Was very unnecessary the defensive line was very well set.

agree, keeping JOC on the bench. pity he's out of the game at the weekend

Just reading through some of the comments from Friday's fantastic win, and one player who seems to have been somewhat overlooked and whom I thought had yet another fantastic game for us and is becoming a linchpin in our backrow is Wee Wullie Faloon. Another all action display creating havoc at the breakdown and absolutely launching himself at much bigger opponnents. Johnny & Razor will have been proud....
