I just can't see any way we can win this one, Ulster have always done a job on us up there for as long as I can remember, we're better off keeping the powder dry for the Munster game. Still smarting after the Leinster game

I have to say I found the Ospreys - Ulster game to be bizarre mostly because of the refereeing decisions. It was insane some of the decisions being made by Patterson.

Agreed, big chance up there. While lots of people discuss our 10 situation, I would rather have Carty than Humphreys ! Weakest defender I have ever seen.

Just watching Ulster here against Ospreys, Ospreys had the bonus point secured with 25 minutes to go. Ulster pulled it back to 31-20 with Ospreys switching off combined with Ulster's dominance in the scrum helping them back into it but from what I've seen of Ulster over the last few games I think we can go there with some optimism.

Ravenhill is generally a graveyard but if we want to show we have made a significant improvement we need to lay down a marker at some stage. The key going up there will be the start, if we can get a decent start , build our own confidence and put some doubts in their head I think we have a chance.

Ulster are a different animal at Ravenhill but to me they look like a side going nowhere at the moment. We haven't won at Ravenhill in well over 60 years but to me this looks as good a chance as we may get for a long time again.

Edit: Flip side to that game tonight was Ospreys were very good particularly in the first half and look in good form ahead of the double header against Scarlets where hopefully they can win both games.
