The UAFC

It wasn't the best game I have ever watched the next day... but we won.

So, who was yer man of the match?

It’d be easier to select a credible leader of the Tory party.

It’d be easier to vote for the Tory party.
Big Stu...because he turned up when it mattered.

Maybe not strictlly man of the match but I liked the cut of the Admiral's jib on Saturday. A few good tackles and fancied a run at Italians every now and again. Could he make something of himself?

James Hume. First senior start and made that try-saving tackle right at the end of the first half. I doubt if Ulster would have won if they had gone in another 7 points down. Crucial moment. He also had a very decent match with big Stu keeping an eye on him.

Just watched the game last night. I would give the motm award to Big Stu or Marcell.

I would echo that solids, he looks like a fella playing rugby very low on confidence. Have you ever seen him playing with a smile on his face or give any form of emotion that he is enjoying it?

He didn't play at all for the entire year of 2016, missing a total of 14-15 months (i think) out injured. Then had his development at full back further hampered by being forced into training and playing as a back up out half.

Unfortunately for Nelson he needs to produce what he did on Saturday as a minimum. Hopefully he can consistently going forward as we are extremely light in the back three.
