Ospreys 16 Ulster 20

by

ulster120As we predicted earlier in the week Ulster’s youngsters put in a gritty and determined performance to claim the spoils against an aging Ospreys side.

With a crowd of 40+ roaring them on in the Rosie Ulster returned to their pre-season form and got stuck in at the breakdown, played this game on the front foot and dominated the contact areas, all in sharp contrast to last weeks dismal performance against the Dragons.

With the young back row overshadowing their much vaunted opponents, Ulster’s talented halfbacks, Boss and Humphreys, were given that crucial half second advantage to control the game and Humphreys, in particular, flourished with that extra half yard of space to produce . . .

    I have to say Nagusa played well I don’t always rate him but fair play to him against the O’s. Just hope we can get that ball out to Danielli more often as he is a lot more powerful in his run than Timmy – nice little hand off to Collins just before his try !!

    13th time LUCKY for me in my travels to Wales

    COMMMMMEEEEE ON ULSSSTERRRRRRRRRRR

    1. Not a big fan of Timmy last year either Surrey, but credit where credit is due he has worked hard on his less strong areas and we are seeing a definite improvement. It’s all you can ask really.

      PS Your comments are pre-approved but I see you put too much ham in hershampride so that’s why this one was delayed in getting up.

        Dewi – I must admit, when I read the above article shamelessly lauding your own foresight and that you previously predicted an Ulster win, I thought you were indulging in a bit of David Irvingesque rewriting of history (what Holocaust?) or the medication needed an increase. However, on checking your previous pre match spiel, I have to ”wash my mouth out” for having such ungracious thoughts and questioning your wisdom !!

        Bigger question tho’- were you confident enough to back you judgement with a punt at the Bookies?

          I’ve always thought I should put a pound on a yankee each week for the most popular predictions but as I’m usually away at a game on the Friday and have imbibed too much I never remember to. I did however put my usual £10 on a Manchester United and Ulster European Cup winning double and a further £10 on a Manchester United and Ulster league double.

          There will be some party in The FRU offices if those two ever come in!

    The only difference in the pack this week was the absence of Caldwell.

    No need to say anything else.
