the next two hours Kear on BBC Two. If you would like to join in, you

week, we go behind the scenes at the Ulster Rugby Academy and the

talk to the European Cup winner's mentoring the next generation of

young Ulster players. This is the perfect way to start the weekend of

rugby. With Ireland versus Scotland tonight, at tonight's teams are

missing a host of key players. Is it a shame that this top-of-the-

table game clashes with Ms Six Nations, or does it add to the

intrigue? -- the Six Nations. unfortunate. That is just the

interval but now they have to come back and do it again. And that one

is not in. The scoreline could have been a lot worse for Ulster. Some

salvation with my lack of points. Ultimately it is the weight of

them to withstand the attacking onslaught. Matawalu is the man of

Pienaar. It might be Paddy Wallace. It is going to be a line-out to

Glasgow 546 metres from their own line. Paddy Wallace went down and

put his hand up straight away. It has been such an unfortunate season

for him. The referee has called for a time-out. That is not looking

good. Paul Marshall is warming up. If Paddy Wallace does go off they

will put Paul Marshall as scrum half and Ruan Pienaar at 10. He is

not happy in that position. This is another disruption. It is largely

irrelevant because Ulster have not had the ability to employ those

patterns. There have been forced into a defensive workload by

Glasgow, who are relishing the prospect of playing at home in

these conditions. There was a calamitous scrum by Ulster with the

mix up, finished off by Tommy Seymour. Paddy Wallace is being

held to his feet by the doctor. He is on his feet. He is not

struggling. Paul Marshall is not yet coming on. I am not sure if

Paddy Wallace will play it much more of a part in this game. It is

a Glasgow line-out, meanwhile. Padma Curva for Glasgow. Ulster

must try to disrupt this, but it out because it was touched by

not to have conceded a try. There where a number a tackles stopping

for. Glasgow has scored two tries, for. Glasgow has scored two tries,

of the game, but defensively they have been very passive. Glasgow are

playing with exceptional power and pace. How key were the last few

seconds of that half? Potentially, it could be a difference between

winning and losing. That could add been one of the tries of the season.

Great ability in offloading the ball, getting it down quickly. We

potentially. It is a quick ball. That is something Ulster has been

guilty of all evening. Glasgow have been able to take the ball in, and

targeted well. A simple two versus one. That was all down to the fact

that the defence was broken. Could this be the first time we have seen

Ruan Pienaar outplayed by his opposite number? He has not had the

quality of ball that Matawalu has got. The Ulster defence has been

very passive. If you give someone of his quality that much time on

the ball, he's going to hurt you. He was at her -- he was at fault

for the second try. They're not be aggressive enough in closing down

Matawalu. He has those twinkling feet. Let's look at the second try.

It was some quick thinking, but Pienaar will be disappointed?

of the emphasis lies with the number eight. Matawalu has done

well. Michael Allen, there is no blame on him. This is an area we

thought we would be dominant in. He'll have to come in. It gives

Tommy Seymour the score, he will be really chuffed to score against his

old team. He has been very noticeable, both in attack and

defence. There is a crossing pattern, he breaks the defender, he

was quite unlucky. He was trying to reposition the ball. That was a

South African touch. You could hear the referee saying he did not know

which player tackled off the ball, why couldn't he refer back to one

of the upstairs judges? It is an anomaly in the law at the moment.

They can only do it with the score. They cannot stop the play and do

that every incident. It will come in the future, the touch judge will

in the future, the touch judge will give the signal. That is the sort

of thing which could be quite crucial. The back row area, that is

where Glasgow have been key. How do where Glasgow have been key. How do

you think Ulster have handled the you think Ulster have handled the

restarts? Some good, some bad, are ideally the player who takes the

ball would come forward. Here he takes the ball going backwards.

Ulster effectively turn the ball over. I think we will see a good

example of this from Michael Allen. He gets himself in the air, he

cannot be tackled. 1 C does land, he can put himself in the correct

position. -- once he does land. will be really annoyed of his team

at the moment. They have not been protecting the ball enough. From

this one, you can see the benefit of having a very fast winger. Where

was the rest of the support? That was a good chase by Michael Allen.

At times a night, have asked her been guilty of having a passive

defence? -- have Ulster been guilty? If you give a scrum-half of

Matawalu's talent time on the ball, he's going to cause damage. A lot

about the set pieces? A great takedown, they do secured the ball.

He is lying their blatantly. Automatically, a missed tackle, a

passive defence. They are now back 25-a 30 metres. Ulster are still

very much in the game. They are only four points behind. I hope

they learn the lessons of the first There are lots of talented

youngsters coming through in Ulster. We caught up with a former European

Cup winner who is monitoring their The guys who have graduated out of

working with young Ulstermen. I look forward to the day that Ulster

That is a bit of an insight into the Ulster Rugby Academy. It is

certainly working, when you are looking at the Irish team's

starting line-up. I was involved in 2004/ 5. It has changed from what

it was. Those young players were the young benchmarks and the input

prepared -- they get now, the unit -- nutritional advice and the

involvement with the senior players, it moves the benchmark even further.

How will Ulster's young guns managed to win as? -- managed to

win? We will have to secured the ball better. The game is there to

be one. We have the experience to put us on the right part of the

pitch. The problem with the first half, we did not have the ball to

do that. Ulster have a sprinkling of young players but they have some

experienced players in key positions. If rain Pienaar had got

his penalties they would be in front. There are seven very good

internationals were then that team. They were only four points down but

we have to go in thinking we are going to win this. It is up to the

likes of Pienaar, Paddy Wallace, John Afoa work, they have got to

move out to be wing. Michael Allen Catastrophic. That really has put

the tin lid on it. That is the second try that Ulster have given

experience. Glasgow have plenty of into a huddle, have a conversation,

and talk about what they need to do from here. What they need to do is

stop those runners from Glasgow. They're sending men down the

channel, they are recycling the ball. You have that Matawalu

running around the fringes, looking for opportunities, and if they

defend those runners, they use the space out wide. Ulster are well

within range though. On a cold night, the players will have to

when you see something like that, you are concerned. Quite rightly,

not taking any risks. This break favours a Ulster day. They have to

try and get a crucial result. It would guarantee them a home semi-

final. Glasgow had a very tough run-in, with five of the top six

left to play. Ulster are playing a lot of teams from the bottom up the

table. Those are games that Ulster are thinking about picking a bonus

points. If they win a home semi- final, the final will be played at

Ravenhill. It will take a very good team to come to a full-strength

little bit of theatrics. That was an unbelievable mess by Ulster.

This is Glasgow a's third try. And off sorts Paddy Wallace, the was

clearly struggling with that injury from the first half. Ulster are

only six points adrift. With the introduction of Paul Marshall, they

will look to increase the tempo. He will counter the attacking threat

from Matawalu. Glasgow will have done their video analysis, they

will need to make sure they mark movement, and protect the neck. Off

he goes. Anything pertaining to the neck is treated the hugely

seriously. Jerry Haggarty is one of will get the scrum. Sean Kennedy is

playing scrum-half, Matawalu has moved that to the wing. The a big
