Sounds like Ulster is not a happy club at present with chat of fans boycotting the match/protests/split dressing room/CE not popular with anyone etc could either bring them together on the pitch or end up in a car crash.

They are under a lot of pressure to win this game and secure 4th and champ cup playoff spot before worrying about a BP and catching us. if they lose, entirely possible, it would leave them only 1 or 2 points ahead of Treviso with an away trip to Munster on the last day while Treviso host Zebre.

Glasgow pretty poor all things considered so far. Disjointed and not as quick and clean as normal

Ref not allowing any defensive work at the breakdown.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Really don't understand why Dunbar is so highly rated. His tackle g and passing for a centre is suspect.

Yep. We're going to have to beat them next week. Based on their showing today - shouldn't be too hard.

Does make you wonder how he seems to be nailed on at 12 for Scotland.

It's almost like they're deliberately trying to get us out of the playoffs.

LawrenceBryce me the permutations of the final positions are many, but in short a losing bonus point is enough?

Yes.

But that was an awful performance from Glasgow, if we can't beat that we don't deserve to qualify for the play offs.
I don't expect they will be so bad two games in a row, but we have to go after the win, playing for a losing BP is not an option till the last minutes

It looks like Munster/Ulster kicks off 2hours before our game on Saturday, so at least we will know what is required come 7.45pm next Saturday

A win is required. You can't play for a losing bonus point. Thankfully Cockers won't.

Hopefully Glasgow play Russel at 10. Never seen someone less interested in playing rugby. He won't want Mata and Bradbury charging at him.
