I actually left feeling quite upbeat on friday night.

But it wasn't until I was half way down Onslow Parade after the final whistle that I discovered that the team in white was Exeter.

I was very upbeat after Friday night. Some young players stepped up and put themselves in the frame for first team selection, none of the new recruits looked crap and it didn't rain. What's not to like? The result was irrelevant.

And you appeared to get piece to watch the game. Were you on your own?

To be honest it was a ragged affair with the odd spark and a few moments of concern about the defence but because the back row and back line were basically nothing like that which one would expect to see hopefully any worries about the defence could be minor .

Mind you, having the Irish defence coach as head coach of Ulster should count for something.

No Junior was away getting a crepe when I was talking to you. As for peace, Grumpy was guldering away in my ear, but I can zone him out......... >biggrin2

Didn't see/hear Grumpy. Thought you were maybe short a few gulderers down that end. That said, we were definitely in preseason mode down our end.

Good to hear. Some positive reading on here. No hype of course. I'm interested to hear how Alan O'connor got on? I think he started, unless mistaken.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

He played the first half and I thought he was very good. Certainly, big Lewis and. McComb didn't seem to make us better, probably the opposite.

Very good? I don't think any of the Ulster forwards, with the exception of VDM and maybe Clive Ross looked 'good' tbh.

He didn't do anything badly to be fair but I don't think saying he was very good is at all accurate.

I thought he looked solid.
