Ulster Rugby’s run of consecutive bonus point wins came to a sodden end at a muddy Ravenhill on Friday night as the conditions leveled the playing field between Ulster’s “Galácticos” and an understrength Treviso. 

There is still a lot of rugby to be played but, in the parlance of the American Presidential campaign, this result does limit the number of pathways to a top four finish. Maybe it’s time for Ulster to invest in some undersoil heating and drainage? Sitting six points ahead of where we are now would give the season a different look!

Still a chance to recoup five of those points in the re-arranged Zebre match next week (provided it’s not another mud wrestle) but at this stage of the season it’s so much better to have the points in the bag.
