Was it Dougie who took the ball on from JJ's break? He slowed down rather than just pin his ears back and see what happens - we shouldn't have given up that lead.

Dougie doesn't back himself, which is a little frustrating. Maybe he doesn't have that out-and-out pace though?

I get a bit TonySpreadbury off about the over optimism and we will defeat all etc when our pack is announced. We really do miss a couple of big ball carriers in the pack and we have the recognise it. Our backs still struggle to maintain momentum once we Break the gain line like the Weegies. We will do ok but let’s get realisric!

Disagree we were in a winning position and comfortably the better team away to Ulster first half. If we were always chasing the game but got an LBP so be it but we weren't. Are you honestly happy with an LBP from the position we were in?
Got to be converting these to wins if we want to progress as a team.
