Ulster sizzled as Scarlets fizzled in a power packed display at Fortress Ravenhill on Friday night.

A twenty minute burst in the second half saw Ulster bag the bonus point as Ulster turned up the heat ahead of their European Cup campaign and while here was much to be admired about this performance it is important to note that there is still substantial room for improvement.

The first half was a scrappy affair with the lead changing hands several times. Despite an early try from Willie Faloon, Ulster failed to settle their nerves and kept a limited Scarlets team in the game with a succession of penalties.

There were some exciting handling moves from the Ulstermen but ultimately Ulster . . .

Yeah – its good to see Andy Trimble start to show some of the international form of a few years back. Thought he was very aggresive all over the park on fri night both in defence and attack. It was also good to talk to Mrs Nagusa and friends on the prom after the game as she throughout the game she had been shouting advice mostly in Fijian albeit, but it obviously worked. Overall I thought a good solid performance, clinical finishing, but a laspe in concentration to allow the Scarlets a score at the end. Bring on Bath !!!

  I hope Nagusa’s family and friends had a good time. Glad they made it to the game.
