Ulster v Zebre Ulster Rugby Live

Last week, I'll still lost their unbeaten record to the Ospreys --

Tonight, they will try to get back to winning ways against Ulster. The

last time they met, Ulster just about won against the Italians.

Ulster have left nothing to chance, as they will come back some of

their big guns of Round 15. It is Ulster against Zebre, a prop

against bottom, live from Ravenhill. -- top against bottom. What a

perfect night from rugby. Completely different to last

weekend, which was pretty miserable for Ulster and Ireland on and off

the pitch. This is your regular Friday night rugby at six on BBC

Two. We would like to hear from you as always on Twitter and Facebook.

Look out from Yemen big interview this week, with Paddy Wallace, who

reflects on an incredible 187 games -- look out for our big interview.

He will only be talking about some of them! Joining me tonight, at

Bryn Cunningham and Andy Ward, with 270 Ulster caps between them. Good

to have you with us. After the defeat last week, how do you think

Ulster will respond? Last week was disappointing but they were not

quite as bad as people made out. I thought the Ospreys were superb.

Defensively they put a lot of pressure on Ulster. Ulster did not

generate a forward ball and that is what they will look for tonight.

Stutz shoulders rather than running directly at men. -- soft shoulders.

Ulster still have seven points the top of the table but they will not

want any more slip-ups. Hopefully this week they can turn things

around. They do have the luxury of the small cushion but other teams

-- at their heels. One more game and the prospect does not look

great. They need to get back on the track tonight. His that when Mark

Anscombe has signalled his intent, by picking a strong team -- is that

why? Absolute Lee. -- absolutely. If they slip up tonight, they are a

way to Glasgow next weekend, very difficult, and all of a sudden, the

11 point cushion they had, they are in second place. The win tonight is

vital. The man macro looks fantastic on paper. -- Ulster looks

fantastic on paper but the rugby game will not be won on a piece of

paper. They need to show some hot. They did not show hot last weekend.

-- show some heart. The opposition have not won a game but in the

league this season but are they better than the results suggest?

Definite Lee, they have six using bonus points, more than anybody

else -- definitely. They have come very close on a couple of occasions.

We have a couple of internationals back, like it Buso. They have got

some of talent. They have got experience in the back row with

Bergamasco and Josh Sole. They are a tough opposition. They are

leading a lot of games at the 60 minute point. Ulster will have to

be patient. And Ulster cannot afford to make the mistakes they

made last week. They were very clinical, they were schoolboy

errors. Their line-out was all over the shop last week. It leads to it

catastrophe. We were losing the ball inside the Ospreys half and

you cannot build pressure. That was crazy at this level. We expect it

more and that is a good thing. Everybody expects a performance and

the small details, not too dissimilar to the Irish game last

Sunday. Small details, we well- muscled of the game. We've just got

demand a lot better. The guys want to get everybody back onside denied.

couple of Ulster boys in particular. I would like to see him Luke

Marshall in a automatically. The safe option for a Declan Kidney is

probably to move O'Driscoll into 12. We have got Paddy Jackson as well

coming into the mix. Hopefully he will show his worth and get an

opportunity at the weekend as well. Ulster will certainly be glad to

see this man back from New Zealand. He is one of the best players, not

just in the northern hemisphere but in world rugby. He is technically

so perfect in what he does. His application to what he does in the

job within the team is second to none. Tom Court, it is not his bag.

He doesn't like the position he has been put in. Thank you. The

Italians have lost 20 games in a row. Ulster defeated last week at

Ravenhill. But the fans will be expecting to night that the

it is the only stumble they make this evening. They have a couple of

tough games, a way to Glasgow at Edinburgh and Connacht and Leinster.

probably have had many more. What a appetite for the physical.

Unfortunately another turnover for Ulster. The urgency and intensity

very good conditions will be the two most recent Heineken Cup

games for Ulster because of injury. Paddy Jackson had a wonderful game

since they scored the opening try Ulster, employing the narrow side

full marks to Zebre for the defence. They are certainly not shirking the

stretching them, playing it side to side, but Zebre are standing up and

making those tackles. Desperate defence in the closing stages of

seems to have injured his leg. There is going to be a replacement

in the middle of the part for Zebre. That will be disappointing for them,

threat. He has controlled things. Their performance in the first half

as belied their lowly league position. It looks like a better

case there should be coming on if I think it is Alberto Chaica. -

much better from Ulster. Early on, but for the mistakes crept in, they

got out of the blogs quickly. Chris Cochrane almost squeezed over in

the corner, from the resulting line-out, Rob Herring pounced on an

Italian mistake. Zebre, to their credit, it defied their lowly

league position. Some lively play at times, and Ulster cannot afford

to be complacent in the second half. Their dominance of possession was

not reflected on the scoreboard We have been enjoying a pretty

competitive first half. Much better from Ulster? It was a lot better, a

good opening five or 10 and a good finish. The middle 25 or 30 was

mixed. The one thing we will be talking about is trying to be more

precise in the contact area not just in the breakdown. Just that I

think the Zebre defence isn't great, they look a bit mixed in there,

some guys are lying a bit deeper than others. I think the

opportunities are there for Ulster. Ulster certainly start of the half

well with some early promise. are the key point, he is quite

right, we're not building pressure when we need to, some decisions...

I can see what Ulster are trying to do, trying to keep the ball alive.

We have just got to get the numbers, everybody is not really doing what

they have to add the right time to get adequate poor. This game is

crying out for some direct played. Henderson is having a good, strong

game. Good from Ulster earlier on, you could tell they were out to

make amends quickly. All of a sudden, Chris Cochrane almost

squeezed in at the corner. It was a good better play, a wonderful pass

by Andrew Trimble. They know they want to move the ball out wide. The

Zebre defence is just a little bit slow off the mark, not putting a

huge amount of pressure on the Ulster backs, and there is room out

wide for the likes of Cochrane, Trimble and Darren Cave. The backs

note... That was wonderful play by Trimble, a lovely, deft pass. Chris

Cochrane is a bit unlucky. And then, why did the Italians insist on

throwing along line-out ball after that? It was just crazy. They were

under pressure from the start of the game, they just didn't get it

right. Rob Herring did exceptionally well. But as you say,

why haven't over-complicated line- out? Keep it simple, clear lines,

play again. They made it difficult, and fair play to Ulster, they

pounced on it. Not a good start for Zebre, that is the last thing they

wanted, to concede so early. They are making mistakes themselves up.

They are not actually capsizing on those mistakes that Ulster are

making. -- capitalising. But Ulster almost allowed a Zebre back into

the game. The game is really lacking some go forward. If you can

imagine Nick Williams in this team, this is what they did last week

against Ospreys. You cannot create an overlap like that, you have to

trust your inside defence. McComish was on the outside that time. The

communication is not where it needed to be. He is a cracking read,

a -- runner, Sinoti. But sometimes there is a little bit of a lack of

urgency there. Going back to the earlier one, if they attacked the

blind side, you have to just hold off, allow them to get the extra

five yards, if you over commit you are in a lot of trouble. You have

to use the touchline as an extra defender. They can only work in a

short space. Let them use the touchline as a defender. They did

But credit to Ulster, a nice move just before half-time. Yes. Pinault

always reads the play a second ahead of everybody else. -- Ruan

Pienaar. A couple of simple passes. I love Darren Cave's play and

Robbie Diack's reading of the play. And it was a good finish to the

half. Irish eyes will have been on Luke Marshall tonight. With Gordon

D'Arcy injured. He hobbled off at half-time but how did you assess

his first half? Very disappointing to see him hobble loss because he

had a very good half. Very physical. He's calling guys out as well. He

is becoming more vocal thoughts Dom he reads very well. He attacks

where he assumes the ball is going to be put on the foot -- very vocal.

Reorganising their defence. His work-rate is very good. Exactly.

Let's not forget, this guy is only 21. He'd just bounced off

Bergamasco. He is a powerful player. And he loves that contact.

Ireland now have a problem in the centre position. The Luke Marshall

would have been called into the squad. Other options? Darren Cave?

There are lots of permutations that Ireland can go with. Darren Cave

has been outstanding. He does not seem to be getting a lot of love.

McFadyen could potentially come and played well. Darren Cave would

offer so much more for me than McFadyen. The way he carries

himself and plays. He carries the ball in two hands, his mind in

detail is perfect, and he creates a lot more than we expect. As a

defensive 13, Darren is so good. What about another Ulster person

who many fans feel has been unfortunate to have been left out

of the Irish squad? Andrew Trimble? He is having a good game and

creating entered looking hungry. This is what he needs. He is out to

prove a point. Last week he had a good game as well. He is strong.

Does he deserve the call up? 100%. He has been very physical. He would

have suited the conditions for Ireland against England. It needed

some direct running. A couple of his contacts as well against

Bortolami were fantastic. We will stop and talk about another Ulster

centre, Paddy Wallace. Not playing tonight because of injury but the

most capped player for Ulster, 187. We caught up with him earlier to

reflect a remarkable coup Rea and we found out he is not for retiring

it just yet -- remarkable Korea. This is home away from home. Give

us the guided tour. I have moved about a bit over the years. Now I

reside here. It came free about six years ago and I thought the extra

space would come in handy to throw my bag down. I have added different

elements to the dressing room. Some have been very beneficial, as such

as the set of cameras near the toilets! The people on the front

room 10 to leave a mark wherever they go so we put candles there!

I remember my first competitive match was against Swansea here. It

went pretty well for me. I never thought I would have played 180

times since that. The facelift is under way. Look at the pitch. A lot

has changed in the time you have played. It is getting to where

Ulster rugby should be. For so long the stadium was a fortress but it

did not have the modern stands and everything that the fans probably

deserved, and now everything is in motion. Next year, it will be a

world-class stadium for club rugby. Are there any players who had been

a big influence on you? You have seen a lot. Yes. A lot that I have

shared a dressing room with. David Humphreys, now have to call him

boss! It is a string situation to be in a workplace where the

turnover of friends is quite high because they come and go in a

window of a few years. But that is the great thing about rugby. You

walls. How would you like to be remembered? Just somebody who loved

playing for his club. I have gone through a lot of bad times here and

it has been great to be around for some of the good times in the last

few years. I don't want to go anywhere else, this is where I want

to finish my career, and may be remembered in the same esteem as

some of the players here. If Paddy Wallace is fit, which we hear that

he is, is Declan Kidney overlooking the obvious choice for the centre?

Paddy is in the form of his life. He offers something different from

almost any other 12 in Ireland. We talk about his footwork but the

main thing about him is how he has kept himself so fit. He is in great

nick and he has got a few years left in him. No doubt. We hear that

John Afoa is coming on. He is just back from a vacation in New Zealand.

We know his wife is pregnant at the moment. Good news all round that he

will see out his contract until the end of next season. That is

fantastic. He is a fantastic player and an asset to Ulster rugby. What

he can deliver is amazing and I think Zebre will look at the next

scrum and think, my goodness, could it get any worse? John Afoa gives a

solid platform to work from. What do Ulster have to do to close this

game? Just be more patient at the break down, make sure they hold on

to the ball, the try has will come. Then Zebre Defence has looked a bit

edgy already. Yes, they have just got to keep playing and be patient.

This game will not be won in the next 10 minutes, it will be won in

the last 20 minutes of the match. Thank you both very much indeed.

There is John Afoa with his trademark beard. Then Zebre will

not fancy seeing him coming on. a bonus point win but that hasn't

John Afoa effect a tackle that created a turnover as we see here,

how their midfield backs should play, forget the scrum, look at

what John Afoa can do. He is amazing. Just to be able to have

still have 11 minutes on the clock. They need to trust in their

patterns, trust in the systems that scrum yet again. It brings a

penalty. Pienaar, I'm sure, will be looking for distance on this.

It should be an Ulster line at unless the referee decides it was
