Apologies for anyone reading this, all the boys are at the game, im sat at home with the kids, i needed to rant to not make a noise and wake the baby...
I dont want to say Cardiff didnt deserve to win that, but if i was the Ulster coach i would take that personally!
Ulster had too much power, and too good a kicking game first half to not be dominant, they came out 2nd half and didnexaclty what they should have from minite 1, kick, pressure, continue. Subs couldnt up the tempo, but Ulster should have run away with that at 12-26 on 50 mins.
Theres a lot of Ulster players who are weapons, but not rounded, both wingers are big strong and physical, but have no feel for the game. Both centres the same. All 4 seemed to want to be the big boy, none wanted to be less selfish.
ULsters front row wont want to rewatch this, 5-1 freekicks at scrum time, they should prob have been penalties in reality.
ULster didnt deserve to lose that based on player dominance, but weve seen the Cardiff gameplan exploit teams late on, and well as much as Ulster beat themselves first half, they were hanging on last 10 mins
