:00:26. > :00:32.Last week a Ulster started well against Cardiff. A great try by
:00:32. > :00:36.Diack, he has done it again. then it went horribly wrong. It is
:00:36. > :00:43.Tom James Hunt Cardiff get the second try. Tonight is back to
:00:43. > :00:47.fortress Ravenhill for a crucial game against the Ospreys. And Team
:00:47. > :00:51.Ulster lost to earlier this season thanks to the boot of Dan Biggar.
:00:51. > :00:56.Ulster are hoping to find try- scoring form as they chase a play-
:00:56. > :01:02.off place. This week is massive, a huge battle and we need to pick up
:01:02. > :01:05.the points. So says the Ulster captain, Chris Henry. It is Ulster
:01:05. > :01:10.against the Ospreys, live from Ravenhill, kick-off in a few
:01:10. > :01:15.minutes time. Ulster have only lost once at home this season but they
:01:15. > :01:18.are currently 7th in the table, four points outside the top four
:01:18. > :01:25.and in much needed the victory tonight against the second-placed
:01:25. > :01:29.Ospreys. Good evening, welcome to Ulster rugby headquarters, we have
:01:29. > :01:35.reached the business end of the Pro12. There are seven games left
:01:35. > :01:39.for Ulster, four at home and three away. We have the whole game live
:01:39. > :01:47.in a moment. Look out at half-time, find out which Ulster rugby player
:01:47. > :01:53.we have taken mountain-biking this week. And as always we would like
:01:53. > :02:01.to hear from you by text, Facebook or Twitter, or the addresses are on
:02:01. > :02:04.the screen. Joining me on the studio, Eddie O'Sullivan and
:02:04. > :02:08.Laurence Neil. It is good to have you. Since you were last here it
:02:08. > :02:12.has been an eventful time for Ulster off the pitch. What have you
:02:12. > :02:16.made of the moving of Brian McLaughlin, or were you surprised?
:02:16. > :02:20.I think everybody was supplies to, especially when the news broken the
:02:20. > :02:23.middle of the season. Ulster on a high having qualified for the
:02:23. > :02:28.knockout stage of a Heineken Cup, one of the best performances ever
:02:28. > :02:32.against Leicester, so everyone was shocked when the announcement was
:02:32. > :02:36.made. There is a vacant position here at the end of the season.
:02:36. > :02:40.There is a vacant position at Munster as well. Have you been
:02:40. > :02:45.approached about either of those jobs? Are you interested? I haven't
:02:45. > :02:49.been approached but I would be interested in coaching in Ireland
:02:49. > :02:53.and it would be good to be back home, so if something were to
:02:53. > :02:57.materialise it would be great. shall wait to see what happens.
:02:57. > :03:01.Tonight a brave decision by the coach, Brian McLaughlin, to switch
:03:01. > :03:04.the half-back pairing, drop Ian Humphreys and put Ruan Pienaar into
:03:04. > :03:14.start at number ten? I would not say brave, I would say a necessity
:03:14. > :03:19.
:03:19. > :03:26.on grounds, we see a bit of Ruan off the cuff and exciting. Ruan
:03:26. > :03:30.Pienaar brings composure, he is out of hand with his goal kicking and
:03:30. > :03:34.the number of penalties he kicked from halfway last season, he has
:03:34. > :03:38.that innate ability to do the right thing at the right time, again
:03:38. > :03:41.moving from write-off in the scrum- half, he has a physicality which
:03:41. > :03:45.unfortunately the last couple of games Ulster have been missing.
:03:45. > :03:50.Ruan Pienaar in any position as a world-class player, isn't he?
:03:50. > :03:54.top draw. We have seen this dynamic many times before when Marshall has
:03:54. > :03:58.come off the bench and Pienaar has gone to ten in a lot of games and
:03:58. > :04:02.it is the template of the game and tonight we will see a Ulster try to
:04:02. > :04:11.play with that Template. They have the edge in the midfield so they
:04:11. > :04:16.have brought him in, and if Costa Ulster have given penalties away
:04:16. > :04:21.this season. If they do that again, Dan Baker -- Dan Biggar punished
:04:21. > :04:26.them last time. Last time he got six from six, we worked in charge
:04:26. > :04:33.of the game and could have won. Again, it has been an Achilles heel
:04:33. > :04:37.over the season, getting on the wrong side of referees. It is some
:04:37. > :04:40.of the danger with the referees, they are not international level
:04:40. > :04:45.but it is their interpretation, they are up and coming never
:04:45. > :04:48.referees and we have a Welsh one here with the Welsh team so with
:04:49. > :04:52.Clansy last week, we got on the wrong side so we have to be wary of
:04:53. > :04:56.that. A lot of internationals missing on both sides tonight, but
:04:56. > :05:01.should Ulster have the edge this evening, home advantage as well?
:05:01. > :05:06.think so, particularly if they can match up front what Ospreys bring.
:05:06. > :05:09.If you look across the back line, Ulster have the edge in the
:05:09. > :05:14.midfield and hopefully it is a perfect night, that is the way
:05:14. > :05:19.forward. The fans coming tonight note that Ulster can't afford to
:05:19. > :05:22.lose this game, to be honest, if they want to make the top four.
:05:22. > :05:27.of four points of a 4th place, Cardiff ahead of us with the game
:05:27. > :05:33.in hand and this is a must win game and if possible we must win and if
:05:33. > :05:37.possible get a bonus to give us any chance of getting into the top four.
:05:37. > :05:41.Ulster won the second half -- highest pro -- the second highest
:05:41. > :05:51.try-scorers behind Leinster's. A bonus point could propel the
:05:51. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:56.interplay of time. Let's join Ryan afford to lose this game. If
:05:56. > :06:06.Ospreys lose they will be in touch at the business end of the table.
:06:06. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:24.It is not a full-strength Ospreys time with Watermeyer. The breeze
:06:24. > :06:27.has picked up at Ravenhill, the pitch in very good nick, final
:06:27. > :06:32.instructions from Chris Henry to Ulster side that, well, having gone
:06:32. > :06:36.down in Cardiff a week ago, and last night probably watched the
:06:36. > :06:41.Scarlets get a bonus point win at home to Treviso, have seen
:06:41. > :06:50.themselves slip down to 7th place in the lead, so it is a time this
:06:50. > :06:56.evening to put all that to write. As ever a vociferous Ravenhill
:06:56. > :07:03.crowd. Ulster have three forwards on Irish duty. Chris Henry retains
:07:03. > :07:10.the captaincy. Wannenburg is back from injury. McAllister Kyriacou
:07:10. > :07:14.come into the back row. And for the first time this season Marshall and
:07:14. > :07:17.Pienaar start us half backs. Pienaar takes over from Humphreys,
:07:17. > :07:27.who is on the bench for the first time this season, otherwise the
:07:27. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:35.former Welsh Under 21 international, a lecturer in coast -- coaching
:07:35. > :07:38.science, Neil Hennessey, refereeing his 9th league game of his career.
:07:38. > :07:43.Well, he has worn the No. Nine jersey for the Springboks, the
:07:43. > :07:46.number ten, the number 15, twice last year he started and the
:07:46. > :07:56.outside-half position, tonight, Ruan Pienaar starts at crucial game
:07:56. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:28.Ospreys from the Bulls in South Africa, his first start in the lead
:08:28. > :08:33.and the first penalty goes Ulster's way, good defence by Ulster, which
:08:33. > :08:37.we saw last week. Ulster will be disappointed with a turnover, it
:08:37. > :08:40.blighted their game last week. They need to ensure they have better
:08:40. > :08:45.ball security at the breakdown this week but they will welcome that
:08:45. > :08:49.relieving penalty and an opportunity to go on attack. Bustle
:08:49. > :08:56.came on to the line and a thumping tackle by Craig Gilroy -- Fussell
:08:56. > :09:00.came on to the line. There was a sensational kick to follow from
:09:00. > :09:10.bolster's outside-half, Ruan Pienaar. -- from Ulster's outside
:09:10. > :09:34.
:09:34. > :09:38.themselves into the right position, somebody holding on in the tackle.
:09:38. > :09:42.That was one of the issues last week as well, Ulster turning over
:09:42. > :09:45.possession and giving away penalties in the opposition 22, so
:09:45. > :09:49.we see that French defence, the player going to the ground, staying
:09:49. > :09:59.on his feet and Ulster unable to clear him off the ball and a
:09:59. > :10:03.
:10:03. > :10:13.the Ulster back row, saying mind what you are doing at the breakdown.
:10:13. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:37.The ball came off an Ulster player, A couple of hookers missing, Ulster
:10:37. > :10:42.are without Best, and Johann Muller, who I was talking to earlier, who
:10:42. > :10:45.might be coming back soon, and that will be a plus. Ulster have the
:10:45. > :10:49.depth in their squad, where they expect to win without those players
:10:49. > :10:53.and after a performance last week it is important they get into a
:10:54. > :11:03.rhythm and routine early and the new partnership in the hearts is
:11:04. > :11:06.
:11:07. > :11:11.going to be largely responsible for from 2008, Duncan Jones, capped 57
:11:11. > :11:16.times, and on the Ulster Tighthead side, the man who skippered them
:11:17. > :11:26.against the Dragons, John Afoa, 36 times he was capped for the New
:11:27. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:38.seemed to be getting up fairly low and the feet went from under him. I
:11:38. > :11:41.am sure he has the right studs in, it would be inconceivable to go out
:11:41. > :11:45.with the wrong studs. Both sides of the scrum seemed to collapse.
:11:45. > :11:49.referee asking for the gap to be closed, there is too much distance
:11:49. > :11:54.between them and the centre of gravity is too far in front of
:11:54. > :12:04.those knees and both feet giving out. Yes, you have to lean in more
:12:04. > :12:04.
:12:04. > :13:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:13:22. > :13:24.than a certain distance, you Ospreys hand and patience is the
:13:24. > :13:30.watchword for Ulster here. They were snatching at things a little
:13:30. > :13:32.bit. I know they need the points and the game. Nevin Spence,
:13:32. > :13:37.demonstrating the work rate that has made him indispensable. He
:13:37. > :13:43.chases everything with them. It is the physicality of the Ospreys team
:13:43. > :13:48.in the tackle that is disrupting Ulster. Swarming over players, that
:13:48. > :13:51.pass had not gone to hand it was a try, but excellent defence from the
:13:51. > :13:58.Ospreys, showing desperation in their defensive work. A bit of a
:13:58. > :14:06.stoppage, and it -- an injury to Chris Henry. A bit of strapping on
:14:06. > :14:16.his right hand, I don't think it is too bad. So it is going to be an
:14:16. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:27.Ulster scrummage, six minutes advantage of a slight breeze but
:14:27. > :14:54.
:14:54. > :15:00.nothing really to trouble the the anxiety in Ulster. They know
:15:00. > :15:08.it's a crucial game and they know with a tough games to come, any
:15:08. > :15:12.chance of the last four places is gone. They are getting in the right
:15:12. > :15:19.positions for the attack. Just an able to go through the phases.
:15:19. > :15:29.Teams coming off the loss, there is anxiety. The players need to calm
:15:29. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :16:00.hips. Shoulders above hips, all six of us please. That is good

:16:03. > :16:13.They have the distance but when they engage, the shoulders were
:16:13. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:30.below hip level. That is nice and have not affected the turnover. The
:16:30. > :16:37.the Ospreys were clear their lines. A psychological marker set down
:16:37. > :16:47.when you dominate his scrum like that. No Adam Jones or Paul James.

:16:47. > :17:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:17:38. > :17:46.No Alun-Wyn Jones. The Ulster well them back. When the pack but in the
:17:46. > :17:53.effort, they want returns. A Willie Faloon on to his man. A defensive
:17:53. > :18:03.kick from Dan Biggar creating the position of the Ulster attack. They
:18:03. > :18:10.
:18:10. > :18:15.Ospreys caught behind the gain-line. The Willie Faloon caught early. He
:18:15. > :18:23.slipped his blind in the scrummage. A bit of relief then for the
:18:23. > :18:28.Ospreys. It is soft underfoot. Ulster psychologically being in
:18:28. > :18:32.control of the territory as they have been and possession. Close to
:18:32. > :18:42.10 minutes into the game, nothing on the scoreboard to show for it.

:19:09. > :19:16.Willie Faloon, a marginal call. went across the 50 metre line
:19:16. > :19:24.before the line-out was over. Maybe a harsh call. The Ospreys may feel
:19:24. > :19:30.aggrieved. Tom Brown having a word. Quite a technical penalty. It did
:19:30. > :19:40.not impact on the game. According to the laws of the game... The

:22:21. > :22:28.biggest frustration for Ulster is they have not been able to impose
:22:28. > :22:38.the high-tempo game on the Ospreys opposition. Kyriacou adjusting his

:24:52. > :25:00.Bearman driving for the line. The first try. The referee is more than
:25:00. > :25:10.happy. A try to the Ospreys. Ulster, having down to 14 men, can see the

:26:23. > :28:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:28:23. > :28:29.for the Heineken Cup. A -- if I'll opposition half. It has been the

:29:20. > :29:21.
:29:21. > :30:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:30:30. > :30:34.foot Ulster, nothing seems to be firing. When the ball was on the
:30:34. > :30:38.ground they won some authority. Nevin Spence dived on it like a
:30:38. > :30:43.back row forward, claimed it for Ulster but then the penalty and
:30:43. > :30:47.suing and Ulster will be alarmed at the penalty -- ensuing. The Osprey
:30:47. > :30:51.is doing enough to keep them out when they have had the lion's share
:30:51. > :30:57.of possession and territory up but Ulster will need a solution soon
:30:57. > :31:07.otherwise the Ospreys are poised to strike again. He is doing his best
:31:07. > :31:17.to keep warm. It is chilly, but a cold breeze. The Ospreys, without

:31:57. > :32:00.frustration at 22 minutes, we said Craig Gilroy's name in the
:32:00. > :32:04.commentary, to have that sort of strike power, not to be able to

:32:40. > :32:43.get it into those wider channels in referee, was forward, and you can
:32:43. > :32:46.hear what the fans think about that. That was marginal, what do you
:32:46. > :32:50.think? When you are running laterally it is not whether the
:32:50. > :32:55.ball goes forward but the motion of the ball and that is a tight called.
:32:55. > :33:03.The referee was in a good position, he has made that call. Frustration
:33:03. > :33:06.for Ulster. We should be grateful there isn't a big screen at
:33:06. > :33:15.Ravenhill because the Ravenhill crowd would have been throwing
:33:15. > :33:25.their plight at it. They would be drinking them. -- throwing their
:33:25. > :33:25.
:33:25. > :34:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:34:59. > :35:03.not really going anywhere. You look at the Ospreys, it is their defence
:35:03. > :35:05.keeping them in this game. They're not duck dominating the line-out,
:35:05. > :35:08.the a troubled at the scrum but they are putting everything into
:35:08. > :35:16.the defensive efforts and when they have had the one opportunity they
:35:16. > :35:19.have had they have made the most of that get their seven points. Pedrie
:35:19. > :35:28.Wannenburg Bracken afield, Paddy McAllister will be getting
:35:28. > :35:31.attention. -- back on the field. McAllister starting and Ulster game
:35:32. > :35:40.for the 6th time this season. He has had a lot of problem --
:35:40. > :35:46.problems with injury. He has not started since about six weeks ago.
:35:46. > :35:49.Munster leading the Cardiff Blues by 16-three. That certainly would
:35:50. > :35:53.do Ulster something of a favour if it stays like that but primarily
:35:53. > :35:58.Ulster need to win this game at Ravenhill and at the moment they
:35:58. > :36:03.are not looking like it. This game and next week's game, an important
:36:03. > :36:07.result for them in this mini sector but they need to start climbing up
:36:07. > :36:10.that table, acutely aware their running at the end of the season is
:36:10. > :36:20.a tough one that sees both Leinster and Munster in those last few

:36:20. > :37:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:37:54. > :38:04.fixtures -- fixtures and they need the touchline and that is what has
:38:04. > :38:08.
:38:08. > :38:12.been done. Magic from Stefan just one score separating them but
:38:12. > :38:15.from the Ulster perspective it is not the scoreline they wanted.
:38:15. > :38:19.unquestionably they came out of the blocks, they dominated possession
:38:19. > :38:22.and territory but you have to admire the us praise' defence, they
:38:22. > :38:28.are away from home but there dominating the collisions and that
:38:28. > :38:34.is denying the continuity they need to get a fast tempo need -- game
:38:34. > :38:39.going and to bring in Gilroy and the wider channels. Ian Whitten,
:38:39. > :38:45.the Irish international centre, who is playing his 6th game for Ulster
:38:45. > :38:48.on the wing this season, in trouble. Simon Danielli, the vast experience
:38:48. > :38:58.Scotsman whose normal position is left Wing is on the bench, but he
:38:58. > :39:18.
:39:18. > :39:27.hasn't been called off the bench that to see if there are any of
:39:27. > :39:30.sides involved. The Ospreys are on the front foot, really taking off
:39:30. > :39:33.as a Ian Whitten take that into contact. They line upon the back
:39:33. > :39:43.foot but they are down and ready as soon as the ball is out, they are
:39:43. > :40:16.
:40:16. > :40:20.under pressure, man and ball tight not releasing the ball immediately.
:40:20. > :40:25.Now Ruan Pienaar missed after 12 minutes from a fairly similar
:40:25. > :40:31.position and I guess the right option is the one he is taking to
:40:31. > :40:35.go for gold. Walker not releasing it all at the tackle. Chris Henry,
:40:35. > :40:38.it looked like on his feet, trying to claim that ball and Pienaar
:40:38. > :40:48.having had a side on an earlier kick will look to get the first
:40:48. > :40:48.

:55:29. > :55:33.were phases of the game which were dross. Both teams tried to throw

:56:12. > :56:14.
:56:14. > :56:21.silly error. We can see on the videotape. Ulster were guilty of

:57:51. > :58:01.accuracy. The Ospreys have been looking dodgy. It's unusual to see
:58:01. > :58:04.
:58:04. > :58:12.so many high balls. Are asked to forcing the game too much? I think
:58:12. > :58:17.we are trying to play a fast game to get wide. The line speed of the

:59:34. > :59:35.
:59:35. > :59:39.The the is an element of luck. The try was lucky to get. They
:59:39. > :59:45.built the pressure, they went after the Ospreys, they kept their foot
:59:45. > :59:49.on the Ospreys' throat and despite everything they have gone into the
:59:49. > :59:53.half in the lead and Ulster will scratch their heads knowing they
:59:54. > :59:58.should have got the lead, having defended relatively well and got
:59:58. > :00:02.out of jail a few times. The situation, the strike coming up, I
:00:02. > :00:09.think he tried to play that ball. Was that a penalty try, do you
:00:09. > :00:13.think? Harsh? Very harsh. By Judge it whether it is Palm a poor palm
:00:13. > :00:17.down, palm up, he is trying to catch it. I think he tried to catch
:00:17. > :00:22.it. That is the look you get sometimes and you take it when you
:00:22. > :00:26.get it. Dan Biggar is not that type of player, to be as cynical as bad.
:00:26. > :00:30.He is a good player and he has thrown the hand sideways to try to
:00:30. > :00:33.block the ball going across them rather than slapping down. Was it a
:00:33. > :00:38.penalty try? I think it is just reward for the adventure that
:00:38. > :00:41.Ulster took by going for the line- out instead of the three points.
:00:41. > :00:46.Maybe the Ospreys were offside prior to that, prevented Ulster
:00:46. > :00:49.from scoring so it is six of one and half a dozen of the other. The
:00:50. > :00:53.penalty try was just reward. taking the penalty just before
:00:53. > :00:57.half-time, did that signal that Ulster needed more points on the
:00:57. > :01:02.board, the gamble paid off. It is a breeze and it will have an impact
:01:02. > :01:05.on the game. A couple of minutes at half-time, losing seven-three, they
:01:05. > :01:09.needed to get something on the board and make a statement and now
:01:09. > :01:13.they have, they have the lead, they will start the first ten minutes
:01:13. > :01:19.against 14 men and they have to keep the ball into the wind so it
:01:19. > :01:22.is a great opportunity to use it or break before half-time, to really
:01:22. > :01:26.go after the Ospreys and take advantage that they have created
:01:26. > :01:31.for themselves. They really need to step it up in the second half. If
:01:31. > :01:34.this second half starts slow tempo and the Ospreys hold them out, the
:01:34. > :01:40.advantage springs back to the Ospreys with the wind at their
:01:40. > :01:43.backs. One player who knows all about tonight's composition is
:01:43. > :01:47.South African Stefan Terblanche, because he played on the Ospreys 87
:01:47. > :01:51.times. He has made quite an impact since he arrived at Ulster four
:01:51. > :01:56.months ago. He has been enjoying himself on and off the field. We
:01:56. > :02:03.found out he was a big fan of mountain biking so we introduced
:02:03. > :02:13.into the Northern Ireland downhill champion. -- we introduced him to
:02:13. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:26.the Northern Ireland downhill I can handle the forwards on the
:02:26. > :02:29.rugby pitch but going down the hills, that is something else. A
:02:30. > :02:33.bit slippy towards the end. Sometimes it is better to keep
:02:33. > :02:37.going them to break. Definitely, you get a grip with the momentum,
:02:37. > :02:44.and letting go with the brakes but it is harder to do that sometimes.
:02:44. > :02:48.It is quite scary, that. I always thought that after rugby that is
:02:48. > :02:52.the sport I will go winter but there is a lot of hard work ahead.
:02:52. > :02:56.When I was younger I focused on rugby and it showed in my game. I
:02:56. > :02:59.didn't have enough breaks from the game. I did not enjoy life enough.
:02:59. > :03:03.When you get older you start getting the balance right, striving
:03:03. > :03:11.to get the balance right and it tells in your game. COMMENTATOR:
:03:11. > :03:16.Here they come, with pace, his first Ulster try. He dives as far
:03:16. > :03:22.out and slid in. That is what they have brought him over four. It may
:03:22. > :03:26.be a short-term contract but that will either long-term memory.
:03:26. > :03:30.Sometimes it changes, it -- sometimes a change is really good
:03:30. > :03:36.for you. What helped is that I lived in Wales for four in the
:03:36. > :03:41.years so I knew what I was getting into it without the weather. It was
:03:41. > :03:51.difficult to make the decision but once I had made its it is something
:03:51. > :03:55.I look back on, happy. The rugby is improving all the time. I left in
:03:55. > :03:58.2007 and the step up from them to now it is amazing. Is the
:03:58. > :04:02.atmosphere different compared to rugby at home? People at Ravenhill
:04:02. > :04:06.a more encouraging, they appreciate the simple things, when you make a
:04:06. > :04:10.good tackle, have a good kick. They are so noisy. Back home people like
:04:10. > :04:14.to go to rugby, sit down with beer and don't get involved. At
:04:14. > :04:19.Ravenhill they'd get involved, basing, they don't keep quiet for
:04:19. > :04:25.80 minutes. -- they sing. COMMENTATOR: Here is Marshall,
:04:25. > :04:31.Pienaar, 0, Terblanche, he gets the ball, a try. What a finish by
:04:31. > :04:35.Ulster. All the young guns did the hard work and I finished, that is
:04:35. > :04:43.how I like to play rugby. They say you are in the best shape in the
:04:43. > :04:48.squad. I'm trying to keep that balance and get the balance right.
:04:48. > :04:52.Paddy, I know down south at Ulster have stick for having a South
:04:52. > :04:56.African constant -- contingent but they have made an impact. Yes,
:04:57. > :05:00.particularly Terblanche coming in bit -- mid- season. He brings a
:05:00. > :05:03.huge level of experience and particularly when you are missing
:05:03. > :05:08.from liners, like this weekend, he is going to steady the ship with
:05:08. > :05:14.the younger players around. He has punched his weight, he has got
:05:14. > :05:19.tries at a crucial times. The first ten minutes of this second half are
:05:19. > :05:22.going to be crucial with the Ospreys down to 14? They will, we
:05:22. > :05:27.can't underestimate the challenge in front of Ulster bigos de Ospreys
:05:27. > :05:32.was second in the lead and have a good quality team, although they

:35:52. > :35:56.Excellent work by the Ospreys developing the opportunity, and a
:35:56. > :36:02.one-on-one, excellent tackle at the death by Terblanche to deny the
:36:02. > :36:07.Ospreys. Going through, they showed excellent pants from Biggar, and
:36:07. > :36:12.Dirksen on the outside with the pace to get around, an excellent
:36:12. > :36:20.copybook tackle. They got the body in the right place and affected
:36:20. > :36:27.that tackle. A another replacement, Fotuali'i is leaving the field.
:36:27. > :36:31.Rhys Webb is coming on for the Ospreys. Having played against
:36:31. > :36:35.Ulster 15 previous occasions. excellent game by Fotuali'i, he
:36:35. > :36:40.really mixed things up, was dangerous around the fringes, put
:36:40. > :36:47.in an excellent defence tackle and cover defence to deny Ulster a try
:36:47. > :36:51.in the corner and he will be happy with his individual performance.
:36:51. > :36:57.There are 14 minutes remaining, the eight point leaders by no means
:36:57. > :37:00.unassailable. There is still plenty of time. We have a huge wind which
:37:00. > :37:03.is picking up their backs, they haven't really used that, they
:37:03. > :37:09.haven't really got the possession to try to do any constructive
:37:09. > :37:13.kicking. With a player like Biggar when their team and the wind at
:37:13. > :37:23.their backs, you would want them to score a try now and bring this game
:37:23. > :37:49.
:37:49. > :37:56.out. Seven-nil to the Ospreys at one stage, thanks to a try by The
:37:57. > :38:03.Omen, converted by Biggar, so also -- Ulster lead ten-seven at the
:38:03. > :38:13.interval, and a try in the second half have put Ulster where they are

:41:15. > :41:19.foot and move into containment, they need to keep attacking. It is
:41:19. > :41:23.difficult and this strength of wind. You don't have the luxury of
:41:23. > :41:28.pumping it 15 metres downfield. They will have to work hard to gain
:41:28. > :41:33.the yards. The ball security should allow them to go through this

:42:37. > :42:41.kick, you can't affect that choked tackle which is unfortunate giving
:42:41. > :42:45.the excellence of the Ulster work there, but Biggar had to climb
:42:45. > :42:51.forehead. From the kick you are not allowed to affect that tackle, or
:42:51. > :42:55.you can, but it doesn't make any difference. That nullified Ulster's
:42:55. > :43:00.chances of getting the put-in by holding it up but still a good
:43:00. > :43:05.result by Ulster at the fact they are in the Ospreys's half, they
:43:05. > :43:10.have an eight-point margin and the clock is ticking away. What a great
:43:10. > :43:15.talent is Dan Biggar, hard to believe he's only 22. But his first

:44:00. > :44:04.was knocked forward and Ulster may be slightly lucky to get that put
:44:04. > :44:10.into the scrum after conceding the initial penalty. An initial free
:44:10. > :44:14.kick. But game management decision, when you have that sort of wind at
:44:14. > :44:17.your back, even though it is midfield was the calibre of
:44:17. > :44:23.Biggar's boot, he could have put that down field and put the Ospreys
:44:23. > :44:29.in good condition, albeit maybe with the line-out not functioning
:44:29. > :44:36.that well, maybe that was behind the decision. But McAllister and
:44:36. > :44:41.Andi Kyriacou going off and on comes Nigel Brady, to win his 130

:50:07. > :51:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 78 seconds
:51:29. > :51:34.a touch judge five paces away from he has dropped it. Heartbreaking
:51:34. > :51:44.for Walker. And heartbreaking for the Ospreys. A little bit of time
:51:44. > :51:46.
:51:46. > :51:49.to go. Interesting to see, downward pressure and it will be close. An
:51:49. > :51:56.incredible lead-up to get to that position and as he reached out,
:51:56. > :52:01.there could be a try with the ball bouncing out of his grasp. The
:52:02. > :52:10.first point of impact will be the interesting thing. I bring the ball
:52:10. > :52:20.spilled forward. The ball goes forward. He was not in control of

:52:28. > :52:32.think it bounced forward across the line. I am not sure that is a try.
:52:32. > :52:42.It is hard to see. The side view was the better one. The side you
:52:42. > :52:43.
:52:43. > :52:47.will show, deary me. This is a good angle. I am not sure. The benefit
:52:47. > :52:56.of the doubt might go to the attacking team. It was grounded
:52:56. > :53:06.before. Was he still in contact as he went across? I have a decision.
:53:06. > :53:11.You may award the try. The try has been given. The try has been given!
:53:11. > :53:16.Well, well. It took a long time and the decision by the match official
:53:16. > :53:21.was the try is good. The conversion is good and there is only going to
:53:21. > :53:28.be a point between them. From the Ospreys perspective they will look
:53:28. > :53:31.to regathered the ball, work their way up the pitch for a penalty or
:53:31. > :53:37.get the drop kick. An amazing individual effort by Eli Walker. He
:53:37. > :53:44.has been impressive to up again. That was a stunning piece of
:53:44. > :53:54.individual brilliance. We are into the last minute. The referee is
:53:54. > :53:56.
:53:56. > :54:05.telling Ulster to hurry up. A long strike by Ruan Pienaar. Can the
:54:05. > :54:15.Ospreys conjure something up there? They are back to a guaranteed using
:54:15. > :54:54.
:54:54. > :55:02.time. And Ulster's hopes were hanging by the proverbial thread.
:55:02. > :55:08.And the Ospreys, for exuberance they might have deserved it. It was
:55:08. > :55:18.about luck as much as anything else. What a finish. A never-say-die
:55:18. > :55:18.
:55:18. > :55:25.Ospreys side. They nearly contrived to lose the game. That was
:55:25. > :55:30.something. The end made it exciting. An incredible break from within
:55:30. > :55:35.their own dead-ball line. Unfortunately for them just not
:55:35. > :55:43.enough. Ulster will be happy to have secured the victory and vital
:55:43. > :55:47.points. Ruan Pienaar, Paul Marshall starting combination will be a
:55:47. > :55:57.point to be debated. What will not be debated despite the finish is
:55:57. > :56:05.
:56:05. > :56:11.How to almost throw a game away? talked about this in the second
:56:11. > :56:15.half, Ulster played better but did not put points on the board. The
:56:15. > :56:24.Ospreys will one score away from causing problems. You have selected
:56:24. > :56:29.John Afoa as the man of the match. I imagine you did not see yourself
:56:29. > :56:34.kicking the ball dead. I thought we would have finished the scrum. A
:56:34. > :56:43.tight finish. They got the try. They came close but we held our
:56:43. > :56:53.nerve. How key was the penalty try? It was important. We had a lot of
:56:53. > :56:55.
:56:55. > :56:59.momentum. We were pretty lucky. We looked dangerous. It was tough.
:56:59. > :57:02.They had great line speed and put us under pressure in the first half.
:57:02. > :57:08.We adjusted and tinkered a few things and it paid off.
:57:08. > :57:17.Congratulations. Real drama but a very important win for Ulster.
:57:17. > :57:27.Exceptional. His scrummages, he takes the ball on, John a fella.
:57:27. > :57:28.
:57:28. > :57:34.The complete proper. -- John a fella. They seem to do really well.
:57:34. > :57:39.They could not push the deal home. We see a good build up, retaining
:57:39. > :57:44.the ball, running some good lines. Keeping Ospreys under pressure but
:57:44. > :57:51.with their dominance you have to put it home. They showed accuracy
:57:51. > :58:00.and patience but we did not have it all the time. You can see multiple
:58:00. > :58:07.phases of play. We thought Ruan Pienaar could have scored. It was a
:58:07. > :58:12.well-taken score. I can tell you that Munster have beaten Cardiff by
:58:12. > :58:18.16 points to 13. Munster are third in the table, Ulster move up to 5th.
