Ulster effectively crashed out of European competition with this 31 – 19 defeat at Sandy Park yesterday evening. There is a faint mathematical possibility that they could still qualify. It needs a lot to go right for Ulster  Rugby next weekend i.e. Glasgow, Exeter, Montpellier, Castres and Toulouse would all need to lose I believe! (And Ulster get a bonus point win of course!) 

As you can see from our visual, above right, it’s not been the best of season’s for Ulster. In fact, it’s the worst win ratio since we started tracking them back to 2010. There are clearly bigger issues in the camp that the result of this match which was their third away loss in Europe this season. 

As is the norm for Ulster Rugby . . .
