[QUOTE="Peat, post: 399909, member: 42330"] If Bath count, so do Biarritz. That was a foul, horrific night at Ravenhill against a large and steamed up French pack and we met it head on before winning it with a penalty from near the halfway line with about 3 minutes left to go. Whatever else that night may have shown, it did not show a lack of nerve. Also, Luke Marshall's shorthand for "F**k me were short on options". I can't be arsed to go through all the teamlists, but we sent TJ Anderson and Tommy Seymour down to Munster for crying out loud! We fielded Spence and Whitten in the centres at home to Munster. I think we might have played Jamie Smith in one of the Leinster matches. The list goes on and the point stands, Ulster simply have not fielded full-strength teams in their big matches this season. And while neither have some of the others, we don't have the depth of Leinster or Munster. Which is why we're not a genuine contender for silverware next season. We'll be there or there abouts, I think we'll make knock-out stages in at least one competition... but I'm not expecting silverware, not unless we go into the Amlin. There are too many areas of Ulster which held to the highest scrutiny fall short. But we've improved on them this season, we should improve on them next. Thats enough for me. [/QUOTE]
