Zebo is a hero on social media. Being a dick and then apologising, after being told to, seems to be the way to get plaudits. Nevermind all the players who never do it.
Fair play to big Stu for going over to confront him.

Last week it was Brownjob, after being a dick for 10 years, disallowing a try that was going to be disallowed anyway and had absolutely no bearing on the result.
Wonder who next week's "Heineken hero" will be?

Scrum over powered, but that happens
Handling good, but gradually degraded
Line out complete tom kite
The fact we scored when we went down to 14 is fantastic. The way we gradually fell apart was disappointing but not surprising.

McBurney may have got penalised for it, but I tell ye what, I am glad to see we finally have a forward who is happy to be an absolute Warren Gatland. I hope he keeps that in his game, he just needs to learn to do it more subtly. It was a beautiful shoulder.

I agree with Boggy 100%. Never thought I would say that.
I didn't see all of the game so in God's name what did zero do?
Quite happy to boo him at ravers but would feel better if I knew why!

Hope zebo turns up at the hill. Worth the entrance fee alone. Expect he will pull a hammy week before. His attitude says all u need to know regards to Ireland selection.

It’s not all his fault but Warwick has been crushed in 3 consecutive games. Time to face reality that we need to see SVdM in the next couple of games. Warwick may be a nice guy and train hard but he is not cutting it and quite frankly is barely Pro14 level. VdM has played at a decent level, by all accounts looked ok in his only appearance for ulster earlier this season and quite frankly we are desperate to try anything. A couple of scrum penalties in this game around half time gave Racing some moentum and were no surprise at all.
The Ulster defence got tired towards the end. Ulster were never going to cause an upset in a low scoring game and the more possession Racing got the more ominous it was going to be. I thought we tried manfully in defence. The real problem was gifting possession to them on numerous occasions via an utterly shambolic lineout where ulster appeared to have no plan B. Once again Rory Best’s throwing crumbked under pressure. Whether he called them or not he is our supposed leader and must take his fair share if the lineout blame.
Giving away lineout possession 6 or 7 times or only winning very scrappy ball not only gifted Racing possession but also allowed them to kick for touch knowing they had a decent chance of regaining possession.
Unfortunately Rory Best effects very few turnovers these days and seems to have been in slow decline over the past couple of seasons, which is understandabke due to his age.
If the team couldn’t change things on the pitch Dan should have had the balls to change things earlier at either hooker or lock or both.

maybe we should also boo McBurney at the next home game for being a twunt and unneccesarily barging into Zebo before that.

Paddy Wallace never had the boot to be a ten he couldn't kick his way out of his own half .
He was a better inside centre than out half unless facing a big line breaker such as Sonny Boy running at him .

You are correct about Paddy Wallace. Amazed me that ulster persisted with him at 10 when he was blatantly never going ti be good enough. Maybe we had no other optiions after D Humph.rumncoke wrote:Paddy Wallace never had the boot to be a ten he couldn't kick his way out of his own half .

I think he only got picked at 12 from around 2006, when he would have been in his late 20’s.
