Right, I'm away to the game.
May the best team win, and may that team be Ulster! Enjoy the game lads.

Early days, but seems to be fairly positive. Hard to judge by what players say, but the comments have been positive. If the Cheetahs game is a fair judge then I would have to say he's a very good coach. Inventive, attacking and risk taking. What else would you expect from a Scarlets man? Thumbs up from me.

What's the opinion in Ulster on Peel as a backs coach? |

My response was to your comment; "A fair summing up", and not the front 5. I honestly don't know what to expect from our front 5. With Gibbes as coach I'm hoping for improvement, and this evening will be a real test of that. We will probably have parity until the bench comes on, and then fold. If we had Best and Henderson back I would be fairly confident our front 5 could match the Scarlets throughout the game (not having to rely on the current bench), but that's wishful thinking. You play the cards you're dealt. Same with any side. This evening is about remembering Nevin Spence for us Ulster folk, and I do expect Ulster to raise their game and fight tooth and nail. Anything less would be hugely disappointing for different reasons. If Ulster do give it their all, and if the support raise the roof, we might just squeak a win, so I'm not without hope.

I hate to agree but I just have this niggly feeling that somewhere along the way we are going to get cocky and over confident and "cop a backlash" and I just hope against hope it ain't tonight. We never seem to cope with the favourite tag somehow. On paper it should be a no brainer but.......... Anyway fingers crossed and looking forward to making contact and catching up with whoever has come across to support. ;-) |

I was hoping that we had that in Gloucester, and that the boys won't repeat the mistake again so soon.

I know what you both mean... it won't be easy. I'm a bit reassured that the weather forecast is for a dry evening in Belfast (though if it's like West Wales, they'll have had a lot of rain in the last 12 hours or so). Plus, the boys showed v Zebre that they can play in the wet - and in the final v Munster for that matter. Let's go in confident, but not cocky or arrogant. Work hard, take our chances, and we should have enough.

Ulster always seem to start season well then fall off as the season progresses.

I share your reservations; we are still getting used to the favourite's tag and it doesn't sit easy. Now if we were Saracens supporters we would be thinking it was a banker - them missing 5 starting players - 4 up front us missing 1. These are the sort of games we need to win, not comfortably but win without too many scares. It's all part of the journey to becoming a great team.

I can never go so far as to make us firm favourites for a win in Ulster.
It may be the toughest away trip in the Pro14. But I think we have a great chance to be in the mix tonight. |

Butler likes to tease PItbull into reaction and it usually works! Not a man with great patience and still got a lot of aggression to burn up 😁

Got to also remember that tonight could be a very emotional night and that could be a key factor for Ulster in that it is 5 years to the day apparently since the tragic death of Nevin Spence so it's factors like this that can be pivotal at times. We do need to be beware of any "Do it for Nevin" factor. Hopefully the Coaches and everyone surrounding the Scarlets squad will be aware of this. It doesn't take much to get the Ulstermen stamping up and down in some totemic mission so we need to be beware that we don't get caught in the emotion. |

Yes I agree, Butler and Moore are a very good combo. I also like the BBC Alba commentary...it's like their speaking backwards.
