Treviso vs Ulster

:00:35. > :00:42.Little chip cake. I have a overt, yes they are. Saracens have managed

:00:43. > :01:07.it. This could be interesting. What a

:01:08. > :01:09.tackle. Nicely done. Here is Andrew. Marshall outside him. He gives it.

:01:10. > :01:25.Bonus point! They must score. They give it to

:01:26. > :01:40.him, he does go. Fifth try and we thought the tide had turned.

:01:41. > :01:49.Welcome to Ulster Rugby live, round 12 of the Pro12 and Ulster on their

:01:50. > :01:54.way to Treviso in Italy. Stephen Ferris joins us today. Tommy Bowe is

:01:55. > :01:58.here as well. We thought we would make the most of having you with us

:01:59. > :02:10.since you have plenty of time on your hands will -- what with being

:02:11. > :02:19.injured. All right lads? The Aussie crew. It passes the boredom of

:02:20. > :02:24.rehab, I know all Ulster fans like to have an update on your progress,

:02:25. > :02:29.how is the injury coming on and when will you be back? It is coming on

:02:30. > :02:34.well. It is a slow process. I would love to be back out there playing,

:02:35. > :02:38.it is horrible having to watch matches, but that is the injury.

:02:39. > :02:44.That is the sport we play and you have to deal with it. So far it has

:02:45. > :02:49.been coming on well. I am getting there and hopefully I will be back

:02:50. > :02:53.for some rugby later in the season. How important is this next run of

:02:54. > :02:58.games for Ulster considering the disappointing from exit Europe? It

:02:59. > :03:06.is massively disappointing for every fan. They have to focus on the

:03:07. > :03:10.league. Three home games after Treviso away, it is massively

:03:11. > :03:18.important we get some points on the board. No more, what about next

:03:19. > :03:22.year, next year could be our year, it is all about top four and the

:03:23. > :03:27.boys will be trying their best today. They need to make sure of

:03:28. > :03:33.European qualification. Three matches already this weekend,

:03:34. > :03:44.Leinster were beaten by the Dragons 23-13 last week. Munster won their

:03:45. > :03:52.match. Scholars have been beaten as well. That leaves the table looking

:03:53. > :03:57.like this. Ulster are sixth in the table and in much need of a win

:03:58. > :04:02.today. If we are to get a win, it will put us in a great position on

:04:03. > :04:10.the table. We will be hoping to go there, Treviso have had a terrible

:04:11. > :04:14.run of form, we would be looking to get a bonus point ideally. You look

:04:15. > :04:18.at our last game, you need to go out looking for the win and hopefully

:04:19. > :04:24.the tries will roll in. It will be a difficult game. We have reached the

:04:25. > :04:28.halfway point, Stephen give us your assessment of how Ulster have

:04:29. > :04:34.performed. I think they have been fairly consistent. The DM we slip

:04:35. > :04:38.up. Look at the points difference, we are scoring a lot of points and

:04:39. > :04:44.then we slip up in a game we expect to win, but he said earlier, it is

:04:45. > :04:49.the next four or five games when the International 's are way, it is a

:04:50. > :04:53.critical time in the season. The team, they have all the class

:04:54. > :04:57.players, plenty of young guys coming through and hopefully we will rack

:04:58. > :05:03.up some points and get the bonus point that everyone wants. One that

:05:04. > :05:10.young player returning is Stuart Olding, 23 years old, he has had a

:05:11. > :05:13.terrible time, how pleased are Ulster to see him back playing? I

:05:14. > :05:20.think everyone, supporters, players, the pure guy, he is such a talent, I

:05:21. > :05:26.know Joe Schmidt, the Irish management see him as a future

:05:27. > :05:33.starlet of both teams and to have the start he has had, to injuries,

:05:34. > :05:38.an elbow injury, a couple of concussions... You would not wish

:05:39. > :05:44.that start on anyone. Hopefully he shine today. I give. Let us see how

:05:45. > :05:47.Ulster get it on against attributes of team which has lost 25 games in a

:05:48. > :06:02.row. Time to join our commentators. Good evening from a rather chilly,

:06:03. > :06:08.misty and for the Treviso. There are Ulster fans here. There are the

:06:09. > :06:18.officials. This is a game that Ulster cannot afford to lose,

:06:19. > :06:24.particularly with Munster winning and Connacht as well. It is not a

:06:25. > :06:29.bad Treviso side and when you look down their list, there are a lot of

:06:30. > :06:39.familiar faces and a lot of experience.

:06:40. > :06:51.They have enjoyed themselves in this brief sojourn here injury so, the

:06:52. > :06:57.Ulster fans. -- in Treviso. Ulster made three changes, Callum Black is

:06:58. > :07:05.back and Clive Ross makes his first start of the season. Four changes

:07:06. > :07:10.behind the scrum including Louis Ludik and Ian Humphreys. I welcome

:07:11. > :07:17.back for Stuart Olding playing his first game since last March. -- a

:07:18. > :07:31.welcome. The referee doing his 40th Pro12 game is Ian Davies from Wales

:07:32. > :07:41.stop Ulster through Ian Humphreys to get this game underway. The last two

:07:42. > :07:47.games have produced bonus points for Ulster. They struggled in the last

:07:48. > :07:55.two visits here. The victory is all that matters here for Ulster and

:07:56. > :08:04.straightaway, Lucchese puts it down and find Louis Ludik. A good start

:08:05. > :08:09.by Ulster. Marshall. Humphreys. Gilroy in from the left wing, a

:08:10. > :08:19.little bit of space, but well covered by Hayward. -- Jayden

:08:20. > :08:23.Hayward. He gave that plenty of height, is anyone chasing? Rory

:08:24. > :08:28.Scholes is. Good work by Rory Scholes, he needs a few more men in

:08:29. > :08:47.the wake there. Treviso are on the back foot.

:08:48. > :08:56.Alberto de Marchi obliges. That is into a bit of space. There is a lot

:08:57. > :09:06.of space. Plenty of time for Humphreys. The ball is still in

:09:07. > :09:16.play. Treviso are trying to conjure up, Jayden Hayward again. Well

:09:17. > :09:23.covered by Gilroy. He kicks. That is a missed queue. A chance for them to

:09:24. > :09:26.create something, Humphreys sees a huge gap and Stuart Olding is

:09:27. > :09:30.chasing and we get the first set piece of the afternoon and it is

:09:31. > :09:41.good afternoon and good evening to Tony McWhirter. Good evening. Plenty

:09:42. > :09:42.of kicking. A nice little tank from Ian Humphreys. And nice bit of

:09:43. > :10:04.pressure. Lucchese, one of the few local

:10:05. > :10:13.players. Santamaria there. Sam Christie gets that away. Lucchese

:10:14. > :10:19.incorrectly. Good tackling by Ulster. Good work by Alan O'Connor.

:10:20. > :10:24.Referee play an advantage for the knock forward. Roger Wilson, fast

:10:25. > :10:31.approaching 200 games for Ulster. 190 97. Ian Humphreys, Stuart

:10:32. > :10:38.Olding. That is a good strong wrong for the -- youngster playing his

:10:39. > :10:44.first game in ten months. Ulster have conceded 20 metres, Ricky

:10:45. > :10:49.Lutton has to keep it. Gilroy. Trying to work that magic with his

:10:50. > :10:57.feet but he is well marshalled. Here is Paul Marshall. Alan O'Connor

:10:58. > :11:03.again. Ian Humphreys. Away nicely, he decides to kick. That has been

:11:04. > :11:08.knocked back word and the referee is happy enough with that from Tommaso

:11:09. > :11:14.Iannone. That should give Ulster the line-out. Ulster applying all the

:11:15. > :11:19.early pressure. Darren Cave deciding on the throw, but deciding not to. A

:11:20. > :11:25.nice early start from Ulster in terms of shape. Alan O'Connor, a

:11:26. > :11:31.couple of big hits and carries. He has shown some really nice form.

:11:32. > :11:37.This is where the game will be won or lost. Treviso will fancy

:11:38. > :11:41.themselves and it is important for Ulster that Rob Herring starts well.

:11:42. > :11:49.Clive Ross at the back. Stuart Olding. Marshall in peat and there

:11:50. > :11:57.by age Treviso player who was not getting back onside quickly enough.

:11:58. > :12:03.Ian Humphreys, Darren Cave with a good little run. Marshall thought

:12:04. > :12:08.about the cake, nicely popped on. Louis Ludik and the referee decided

:12:09. > :12:14.that the pass was forward and Ulster concede the first scrum of the

:12:15. > :12:17.afternoon. There are will maybe be a little bit of suspicion of offside

:12:18. > :12:22.from Treviso but Ian Humphreys will want a quicker ball than that from

:12:23. > :12:27.his forwards. It is difficult when the ball is slow to get penetration

:12:28. > :12:31.from your backline. You see your half-backs trying to creep across

:12:32. > :12:36.the pitch and outside runners having to run straight. Ian Humphreys saw a

:12:37. > :12:44.little bit of man and ball coming at the same time. I spoke to Ian Davies

:12:45. > :13:00.before the game and asked him where he was staying. He said Dennis, and

:13:01. > :13:14.I said Lucky you -- Venice. The man with the hair there is Bigi.

:13:15. > :13:29.-- Filo Paulo. There is the Treviso skipper, Alberto Sgarbi. He has a

:13:30. > :13:40.lot of experience. Santamaria seems to be fine.

:13:41. > :14:06.It is little bit wobbly. Ian Davies is patient. He blows his whistle. He

:14:07. > :14:20.will want them to settle a little bit. It is a hefty Treviso front

:14:21. > :14:27.row. Simone Ragusi there. Alberto de Marchi is in the loosehead side for

:14:28. > :14:35.Treviso. He had a season with the sale Sharks.

:14:36. > :14:48.Six minutes gone, no score but all the play has been in the Treviso

:14:49. > :14:56.half. Down they go again. It collapses on the far side. Something

:14:57. > :15:01.has gone awry. The answer is no. Well covered by Paul Marshall. The

:15:02. > :15:10.crowd complaining about something. Marshall does not find his touch,

:15:11. > :15:19.but Sam Christie, he was outside the 22. Not a bad cake by Craig Gilroy.

:15:20. > :15:25.Hayward underneath it. Christie did well. That has gone loose. Good work

:15:26. > :15:31.at the breakdown by the Ulster breakaway back row. I think the

:15:32. > :15:34.clear instruction from the Ulster management is to play as much

:15:35. > :15:43.territory and possession and the kicking has been accurate. Craig

:15:44. > :15:48.Gilroy, a fantastic follow-up. Van der Merwe is putting pressure on the

:15:49. > :15:54.scrum-half. Nice midfield attacking position from Ulster. Back split on

:15:55. > :16:02.both sides. Plenty of options for Paul Marshall at scrum-half. Ricky

:16:03. > :16:09.Lutton on the Ulster tight head side stop he is playing his 41st Ulster

:16:10. > :16:24.game. That seems to be a problem there. A problem with the Treviso

:16:25. > :16:30.hooker. Santamaria seems to be having trouble still, with his right

:16:31. > :16:34.bicep. Good work on the breakdown by Ulster. It was the type forwards who

:16:35. > :16:40.went on as well and is Roger Wilson, the number eight. Just to bring you

:16:41. > :16:56.up to date yesterday, in Newport, Leinster played the Dragons. Munster

:16:57. > :17:11.turned over Zebre. The Scarlets word but in by Connacht. -- where beaten.

:17:12. > :17:19.Ulster have started in six position which just gets them into Europe.

:17:20. > :17:27.The first scrum for Ulster, seven minutes gone, no score. Solid enough

:17:28. > :17:34.from Ulster. Now they get a bit of a squeeze on. Roger Wilson has to take

:17:35. > :17:38.it forward, Ulster need to get that ball up quicker. Ian Humphreys

:17:39. > :17:44.decides to keep it low until it into the corner. What happened to the

:17:45. > :17:50.scrum? Night strike from Rob Herring but the ball was left in the second

:17:51. > :17:56.row for too long. -- nice strike. Roger Wilson had to dig it out.

:17:57. > :18:00.Something Ulster have not done well at the base of the scrum, that is

:18:01. > :18:10.clear and more decisive play from Roger Wilson. I do not think we will

:18:11. > :18:19.see too much more of Santamaria. He seems to have hurt his right arm.

:18:20. > :18:31.There are hoping that Santamaria will be fed. -- will be OK.

:18:32. > :18:40.If he is fit to go, the referee will say continue. Treviso have cut the

:18:41. > :18:47.numbers that line-out time which gives Ulster the time to line-out

:18:48. > :18:53.forwards and potentially get a man in the air and try and steal this.

:18:54. > :18:58.They will be looking for Palmer to Steelers. He did and did it nicely.

:18:59. > :19:15.Good defence by Ulster will stop good positive defence. Tulisa has

:19:16. > :19:25.set it up, Lucchese. -- Treviso. Nice touchline kick from Lucchese.

:19:26. > :19:32.It is BS around Robert Barbieri. He had some unproductive --

:19:33. > :19:41.unproductive seasons at Leicester Tigers -- it is based around. The

:19:42. > :19:48.missed here tonight is making the ball pretty dampers, Rob Herring has

:19:49. > :19:56.to dry off any excess moisture. Good take from van der Merwe. Rory

:19:57. > :20:02.Scholes in off going. Marshall, Rob Herring, Marshall again. Louis

:20:03. > :20:08.Ludik, Gilroy outside him. They are into the 22, they need the quicker

:20:09. > :20:17.ball. Nicely done by Marshall. Sean Reidy steps it up. He has run into

:20:18. > :20:19.the back row, swallowed up. Treviso have got themselves offside and

:20:20. > :20:42.despite the tackle I Andrea De Marchi, Ulster

:20:43. > :20:46.have the penalty. There was a case for Louis Ludik to give the ball to

:20:47. > :20:51.Craig Gilroy. He decided to hang on iPad and with Gilroy with space

:20:52. > :20:55.outside. Ulster is showing lots of control, taking time over the ball,

:20:56. > :21:05.Marshall and Humphreys have started well. Ian Humphreys has scored tries

:21:06. > :21:14.in two successive games. To give Ulster the first point. That was a

:21:15. > :21:22.golfer's chip therefrom Ian Humphreys and the crowd are pretty

:21:23. > :21:25.happy, well the Ulster contingent. Good straightforward strike by Ian

:21:26. > :21:32.Humphreys. Very good opening ten minutes. All the play has been in

:21:33. > :21:36.the Treviso half. A lot of picking, but they are looking to get

:21:37. > :21:48.themselves into the game quickly and effectively. We start from Jayden

:21:49. > :21:56.Hayward, the 28-year-old New Zealander. Played in his home

:21:57. > :22:01.country. Also played for Western Force in Australia. He gave that a

:22:02. > :22:10.wallop. Paul Marshall. He kicked that nicely. Hayward thought about

:22:11. > :22:14.the quick throw. One part of his game over the past two or three

:22:15. > :22:26.years has improved massively, we will see him box kicking more. A

:22:27. > :22:34.fine connection, a fine clearance. He does not look 100%, years not

:22:35. > :22:39.happy,. It is his bicep or right wrist, years complaining to the

:22:40. > :22:55.medical staff. Treviso have shortened the line-out. Paolo takes

:22:56. > :23:03.it well. Lucchese. A bit of a teaser. Well taken by Rory Scholes.

:23:04. > :23:13.Ulster have plenty of men back. Alan O'Connor. Well tackled by Treviso.

:23:14. > :23:27.Marshall. Sensibly he kept that infield. Lucchese, wonderful tackle

:23:28. > :23:32.by Louis Ludik. Openside flanker. The referee has got the hand-out, a

:23:33. > :23:37.little chip into space, Paul Marshall gathers, get it away to

:23:38. > :23:45.Gilroy and they will be back for the penalty. Silly and unnecessary

:23:46. > :23:57.penalty, Treviso clearly won the ball at the back. Clive Ross should

:23:58. > :24:04.have known better. If the decision had been made to go for the posts,

:24:05. > :24:12.they have decided not to go for the posts, so Alberto Sgarbi has decided

:24:13. > :24:19.to go as close to the Ulster line as possible. They would like a few more

:24:20. > :24:24.metres. We watched him kicking about an hour ago, there was the incident,

:24:25. > :24:34.the good tackle by Louis load it. Clive Ross seems to be OK there --

:24:35. > :24:46.Louis Ludik. He could not resist having a little nibble. Hard to

:24:47. > :25:02.resist a little nibble. It was taken on by 39. Good pressure from Treviso

:25:03. > :25:09.having conceded the first points -- Lazzaroni. Sam Christie has a little

:25:10. > :25:16.dummy. Lucchese" plea like a good scrum-half. Hayward, Tom Palmer the

:25:17. > :25:22.Englishman. Hayward comes back and sides. He runs into another white

:25:23. > :25:31.jersey, Sean Reidy. Great drive by the Treviso pack. What a fine piece

:25:32. > :25:35.of defending by Rob Herring's team. A little pick-up and drive it to

:25:36. > :25:43.suck in a few loose forwards. Marshall and Humphreys. They got

:25:44. > :25:54.right underneath that. Well gathered in. Treviso have won it again.

:25:55. > :26:07.Hayward has to stretch. Alberto Sgarbi, the skipper. It is out to

:26:08. > :26:11.Bacchin. Hayward again. Stopped by Ricky Lutton, the Ulster tight head

:26:12. > :26:21.prop. Christie gets a bit of web on it. Passes are not too good. The

:26:22. > :26:36.whole impetus has been checked. Lucchese again looking for a runner,

:26:37. > :26:49.get set to Filo Paulo. Great tackle once again by Louis Ludik. Tom

:26:50. > :27:03.Palmer. Nabs by van der Merwe. Clever stuff. Good driving run by

:27:04. > :27:11.Alberto. Simone Ragusi. It has gone forward and the good Ulster defence

:27:12. > :27:17.has proved successful. The Ulster defence of coach will be happy with

:27:18. > :27:20.the shape they are producing. There are staying together, staying

:27:21. > :27:26.connected. Darren Cave is doing a lot of the organiser -- or

:27:27. > :27:31.devotional work. Throwing the defender out of the way. Good shape

:27:32. > :27:37.from the Ulster defence, they are not biting, they are staying

:27:38. > :27:40.connected, there is organisation, Darren Cave especially. They are

:27:41. > :27:45.communicating well and that is what good defence is all about. It has

:27:46. > :28:03.been coming for some time, the starting poker, Santamaria has had

:28:04. > :28:06.to leave the field that of anxiety about van der Merwe. It's sore

:28:07. > :28:27.shoulder. -- a sore shoulder. Van der Merwe has signed on for

:28:28. > :28:33.another year. That has been welcomed by everyone in the Ulster rugby. Not

:28:34. > :28:42.just his team-mates. That is where he got himself heard. I huge hit

:28:43. > :28:48.from Tom Palmer. Seemed to come down awkwardly on his shoulder -- he got

:28:49. > :29:05.himself hit -- a huge hit. He has played a lot of rugby. The

:29:06. > :29:10.referee seems to be asking the TMO four a little look at something

:29:11. > :29:16.which has perhaps caught his eye. I am not quite sure what all that was

:29:17. > :29:24.about. Was there a hand in there? Did someone do something naughty?

:29:25. > :29:31.They are concentrating on what was going on with van der Merwe and we

:29:32. > :29:36.might have missed it. Apologies. Did not see too much complaining from

:29:37. > :29:40.either side. I do not know if it was one of the assistants. He has gone

:29:41. > :29:50.upstairs. Ian Davis is waiting, I think he has

:29:51. > :30:00.asked for another view of the incident. The clock has stopped.

:30:01. > :30:05.Ulster are 3-0 up. They very rarely lose here. Any idea what that is

:30:06. > :30:16.for? No idea, there was no reaction from

:30:17. > :30:22.a player either side. Was it the Italian touch judge who spoke to the

:30:23. > :30:27.referee? It has taken a long time and it is a game that has not

:30:28. > :30:33.started in many ways. A couple of injuries to the Treviso hooker who

:30:34. > :30:44.has now on offer. One hold up after another. The referee is coming back

:30:45. > :30:48.over. No incident with reporting. So we have just waited a long time and

:30:49. > :30:52.the players have got a bit colder. Roger Wilson has a bit of strapping

:30:53. > :31:01.and the referee has decided it was a knock-on by the Treviso flanker

:31:02. > :31:10.Marco Lazzaroni. It is an Ulster scrum. Watch out for Craig Gilroy.

:31:11. > :31:15.Taking an interesting position. The white half, and their openside. Good

:31:16. > :31:21.attacking option for Ulster with the Treviso fallback back, they have a

:31:22. > :31:27.one-man or two man advantage. Interesting to see whether Humphreys

:31:28. > :31:34.continues the advantage. Against the Treviso front row. Ulster gave run a

:31:35. > :31:37.bit. Due to some pressure and the penalty goes against Treviso said

:31:38. > :31:41.they do not have to worry about bringing Craig Gilroy into the

:31:42. > :31:47.equation and Humphreys will expect to make a decent bit of ground.

:31:48. > :31:55.Inside the first quarter and it has never really come to life. That is

:31:56. > :32:05.Ricky Lutton, quite legal and down on one knee. Still in play. Now it

:32:06. > :32:09.is out of play. A good kick by Treviso. He should have found the

:32:10. > :32:15.touch. Whenever you win the penalty that, it has to go into touch.

:32:16. > :32:19.Trying to get more distance for 11th but it kicked on the right-hand side

:32:20. > :32:26.of the pitch. -- for a left footed kicker. Fine margins winning games

:32:27. > :32:33.and Ulster should have been further up the field by 50 metres, but still

:32:34. > :32:37.death row. The replacement hooker Luca Bigi comes on against four

:32:38. > :32:42.Treviso. Well taken by Conor, the line-up for Ulster working well.

:32:43. > :32:49.Shaun Reidy has had a couple of games. This Henry's shoulder getting

:32:50. > :32:59.better but a game or two away from returning. -- Chris Henry. Marshall.

:33:00. > :33:09.Nicely collected. He took it from Tommaso Iannone. Marshall. A lot of

:33:10. > :33:13.kicking in this game. Louis Ludik seemed blocked a bit but the referee

:33:14. > :33:20.was happy the man coming back was not doing anything intentional. Sam

:33:21. > :33:29.Christie, a big boot on him for a little player. Humphreys, this was

:33:30. > :33:35.fine touch. Christie keeps it infield. Jayden Hayward keeps it in

:33:36. > :33:45.glance. Craig Gilroy back in position. Down the line again. He

:33:46. > :33:54.leaves it for Jayden Hayward. But Mrs by Gilroy. Back inside, Tommaso

:33:55. > :33:58.Iannone, the pass was forward. The crowd here not happy about that. You

:33:59. > :34:02.do not often see Craig Elroy wrong-footed like that. We have been

:34:03. > :34:07.talking about how good the Ulster defensive structure has been but

:34:08. > :34:12.this surface is sticky underfoot. He got his feet in the wrong position

:34:13. > :34:17.and Treviso breaking nicely. The referee said play was quite clearly

:34:18. > :34:21.falls. Ulster have rested on their laurels a bit after the early

:34:22. > :34:27.penalty I Humphreys. For the last nine or ten minutes, it has been all

:34:28. > :34:32.Treviso. Ulster lucky to get away with that. At the past been on

:34:33. > :34:39.target, it was under the post. Difficult for both sides, stop and

:34:40. > :34:52.start. No team building up a go forward ball or getting tempo into

:34:53. > :34:58.the game. Nicely put in. It is being worked by Herring. Wilson has to get

:34:59. > :35:05.it away. They are holding it too long. Marshall on the narrow side,

:35:06. > :35:13.interesting. He has schools now, a kick to chase. One bounce and into

:35:14. > :35:20.touch. Rory Scholes. Marshall had to weigh up the options and he may have

:35:21. > :35:25.taken the right one. It was good defence by Jayden Hayward. Marshall

:35:26. > :35:31.defence and goes inside. Good communication, he puts himself into

:35:32. > :35:35.position. He positioned himself between Marshall and Rory Scholes

:35:36. > :35:39.which would have made the past difficult, Marshall happy to put it

:35:40. > :35:44.on the foot. The Italians very quick and the right decision from

:35:45. > :35:55.Marshall. Taken in by Treviso from the throne. By the replacement, Luca

:35:56. > :36:03.Bigi. -- the throne. Well covered by Rory Scholes. Men outside him,

:36:04. > :36:10.Ludik. Knocked out of his hand, referee waiting for advantage. A

:36:11. > :36:15.despairing Treviso hand went out there. Ulster have to be careful not

:36:16. > :36:22.to get offside. Referee still playing advantage with that knocked

:36:23. > :36:25.forward. Back in, he gets it away. Not the greatest pass in the world

:36:26. > :36:33.and it has to go back for the defence. Giving Treviso the scrum.

:36:34. > :36:36.You mentioned about the moisture and running into contact. It is

:36:37. > :36:41.important you have the ball in two hands and we'd see Ludik with it

:36:42. > :36:46.under one arm and technically, that is poor. Well spotted pass by

:36:47. > :36:58.Treviso to knock it out but keep the ball into hands might realistically.

:36:59. > :37:07.-- in two hands, realistically. Potential in the Ulster pack. Rory

:37:08. > :37:25.Best, Chris Henry, Robbie Dyer. De Marchi on the near side four

:37:26. > :37:32.Treviso. Can Ulster put a squeeze on the opposition here? It looks like

:37:33. > :37:36.it was down the middle. Treviso moving forward. Davies having a look

:37:37. > :37:45.and he is penalising Ulster. He has done. The front row creaking a bit.

:37:46. > :37:48.That is usually the way it goes, you see a team getting a nudge on and

:37:49. > :37:54.that usually decides any advantage, it is the team going forward usually

:37:55. > :37:58.eating it from the referee. The ball in the tunnel for a while. Treviso

:37:59. > :38:03.getting a nudge on and that was enough to make the referee's mind.

:38:04. > :38:10.The tight-head prop set of Treviso came up, Ferrari, they must have

:38:11. > :38:14.thought Black was doing that illegally, I thought there was

:38:15. > :38:19.nothing wrong with that. Treviso in a decent position again. It was all

:38:20. > :38:21.Ulster in the first 15 minutes and the last ten minutes or so, it has

:38:22. > :38:36.been all Treviso. This is Luca Bigi. His first season

:38:37. > :38:49.at the club, playing his seventh league game. He did well. Treviso go

:38:50. > :39:01.for a second shop and a squeeze on this narrow side. Well taken by

:39:02. > :39:06.Herring, Ulster's captain. Not offside. Coming back on the Treviso

:39:07. > :39:14.side. It goes in as a scrum-half. And again, a big tackle from van der

:39:15. > :39:28.Merwe. An experienced Samoan international. The tackling is

:39:29. > :39:34.Franco van der Merwe, holding the man up. Nudged forward and great

:39:35. > :39:38.defence again. It is good defence. Treviso not asking many questions

:39:39. > :39:43.defensively. Getting a chance to men lying -- blind man up and get them

:39:44. > :39:49.away. Franco van der Merwe very much a game. The ball comes loose and not

:39:50. > :39:54.much adventure from Treviso. The line-out has been good. Palmer in

:39:55. > :39:58.the second row has started well and the change of hooker has not made a

:39:59. > :40:09.lot of difference. The line-out is sound. They do not have a chance for

:40:10. > :40:14.a very effective rolling maul away. Six Nations have been played. Franco

:40:15. > :40:20.van der Merwe and O'Connor have played regularly in the last games

:40:21. > :40:25.for Ulster, getting down together. A lot of pressure in the Ulster front

:40:26. > :40:31.row from their opposite numbers. Ulster giving away about ?4 of man

:40:32. > :40:38.at that is not important, it is the technique. This needs to go in. Good

:40:39. > :40:47.strike again I Herring. Wilson. Marshall. Humphreys. That is not a

:40:48. > :40:53.bad kick by Humphreys. Covered back by Jayden Hayward. Humphreys again.

:40:54. > :40:57.He says he is going to kick that up in the air and somebody has to chase

:40:58. > :41:03.it and that somebody is Rory Scholes. Well taken. I think that is

:41:04. > :41:10.an advantage that has been gained from that. Just going to check if

:41:11. > :41:15.there was an offside or a man in the air who interfered. I do not think

:41:16. > :41:21.he was interfered with. This is Jayden Hayward. Did he come down? He

:41:22. > :41:26.did, he had one foot on the ground, I think it is hard to see, Tony. I

:41:27. > :41:30.do not think that was any intent. Rory Scholes was prepared to let the

:41:31. > :41:32.man land before he played him. Weaving one foot in the air. I think

:41:33. > :41:45.it looked worse than it was. The referee has brought back inside

:41:46. > :41:50.the Ulster half of the field towards the screen at the changing room and

:41:51. > :41:54.this might tell us better. He was up in the air? Rory Scholes did not lay

:41:55. > :41:58.a glove on him until one of his feet was on the ground. Another

:41:59. > :42:03.protesters from another Treviso player. I can see nothing wrong with

:42:04. > :42:12.that, I wonder how Ian Davies will see that. It was the lack in the air

:42:13. > :42:16.Jayden Hayward anti-planted it almost over the shoulder of Rory

:42:17. > :42:22.Scholes. -- the leg. Rory Scholes lost his forward momentum and he

:42:23. > :42:26.almost ground to a standstill. He was stopped and he did not make

:42:27. > :42:31.contact until the foot touched the ground, that is my interpretation.

:42:32. > :42:39.In Davies might see it differently. He is having a word with the Treviso

:42:40. > :42:44.skipper. Alberto Sgarbi. Did he run into one of his own players, Jayden

:42:45. > :42:50.Hayward, gaining an accidental offside? That is what I thought was

:42:51. > :42:57.the case. No penalty given. A scrum has been given and Ian Davies has

:42:58. > :43:06.split the difference. He has given the scrum to Treviso. 26 minutes

:43:07. > :43:09.have gone. Still 3-0 and Ulster will be happy if it stays like that. The

:43:10. > :43:16.first half has been going on for what seems like ages! Three very

:43:17. > :43:23.long discussions, with a couple of injuries and only three points. The

:43:24. > :43:31.last two games at the Kingspan Stadium, Ulster have rattled up

:43:32. > :43:43.bonus point wins. Any winner will be hard to by here. The ball is just

:43:44. > :43:50.sitting there. Giving it a bit of a nudge. And the referee, is he going

:43:51. > :43:55.to penalised Ulster again? No. Marshall. And stuff by the Italian

:43:56. > :44:06.side into the half of Ulster. Picked up nicely by Barbieri again and

:44:07. > :44:10.passed forward. Frustrating times. The Italian side had been slightly

:44:11. > :44:15.more inventive. You have to be very capital with Barbieri. It took the

:44:16. > :44:20.Ulster back row out and left Marshall to deal with them on his

:44:21. > :44:27.own, not the biggest man in the world. Ulster broke well and good

:44:28. > :44:30.tackle by Olding. The Treviso player rolls over and accidentally drags it

:44:31. > :44:37.forward. The correct decision but not liked by the home crowd. Some of

:44:38. > :44:42.these Treviso players will put it together and I think Ulster have to

:44:43. > :44:47.be very careful. It Treviso get out in front, it is going to be hard for

:44:48. > :44:54.Ulster. Assume the position, as they say. Just have a look at the foot

:44:55. > :45:00.position here. We talk about the Ulster front row and how long in the

:45:01. > :45:05.lakes he gets. This is his outside leg. You can see how far underneath

:45:06. > :45:11.he gets. Really good, nice and square at the hips, chases his feet

:45:12. > :45:17.up underneath. Subsequently given a real platform for Roger Wilson.

:45:18. > :45:21.Darren Cave. Not a good pass but Marshall did well and lost it.

:45:22. > :45:28.Sloppy stuff by Ulster. A very good set piece. And they did not handle

:45:29. > :45:32.the ball very well. As a front row forward getting up and seeing that

:45:33. > :45:47.going into touch, some cross looks across at their fellow backs.

:45:48. > :46:01.And instruction to his hooker. Ulster nearly got up there. Sam

:46:02. > :46:09.Christie, nice flat ball, good defence once again from Ulster and

:46:10. > :46:14.from Stuart Olding, has that appetite back. A hint of an overlap.

:46:15. > :46:24.Gilroy did the right thing moving out wide. Alberto de Marchi. Ulster

:46:25. > :46:33.conceded a penalty, O'Connor LT on the ground. -- guilty. They are

:46:34. > :46:38.giving a penalty for not releasing the man in the tackle. The penalty

:46:39. > :46:42.count worryingly high for Ulster. In these last 15 minutes, Treviso have

:46:43. > :46:46.played all the rugby. Once you accrue a number of penalties in

:46:47. > :46:49.quick succession, the referee has a fidget for the yellow card in his

:46:50. > :46:54.pocket. Ulster just need to be careful. Connor did all the

:46:55. > :47:03.grappling. Whether he released in time, we did not see. That is the

:47:04. > :47:08.best kick from Jayden Hayward so far and he gets a pat from the skipper,

:47:09. > :47:13.Sgarbi. They have in this close before but have not scored and

:47:14. > :47:18.Treviso will hope to put that right. Before half-time. A try for

:47:19. > :47:31.half-time which just be what they wanted. Luca Bigi, well taken down,

:47:32. > :47:36.Lucchese. Sam Christie is well tackled. Getting a bit misty here.

:47:37. > :47:41.De Marchi taking it on again. Not much room on the side but a good

:47:42. > :47:47.budgeting run by the other de Marchi, but to one macro. If they

:47:48. > :47:52.move this, they could be in and they have and Ulster get across well.

:47:53. > :47:57.Still therefore Treviso, looking for the first try of this game. Risky

:47:58. > :48:03.nearly got through. Good covering tackle by Clive Ross and it might

:48:04. > :48:09.even have been Ricky Lutton. Referee has a hand for penalty. Drop at

:48:10. > :48:13.goal. That has not happened and but a penalty for not releasing the

:48:14. > :48:19.tackle. It might have been Black. They do not get the try. Very

:48:20. > :48:22.surprised if they do not go for the three points. It is nothing more

:48:23. > :48:28.than Treviso deserve. They attack the line here and that is how you

:48:29. > :48:32.pick out weakness. Run between men, not at men, looking for space in

:48:33. > :48:35.between, to get their hands through to get the turnover and to off-load

:48:36. > :48:41.away. Ulster have to be careful at the breakdown. They leave too many

:48:42. > :48:46.and the tackle does not get away quick enough and the referee is

:48:47. > :48:54.getting onto that. He is going to take this. Jayden Hayward stepping

:48:55. > :49:02.up, I thought it would be Sam Christie for a minute. It is Jayden

:49:03. > :49:06.Hayward. That was the drop goal attempt which went wide and which

:49:07. > :49:12.the referee would have allowed if it went over. Treviso knew they had

:49:13. > :49:21.this penalty to sway this game. Over half an hour played. Christie gets

:49:22. > :49:28.right underneath it. A decent kick and it means with 7.5 minutes until

:49:29. > :49:34.the interval at the Stadio Monigo, it 3-3. In their reflection from my

:49:35. > :49:41.point of view. Treviso holding their way into this. Barbieri becoming

:49:42. > :49:45.more prominent. We have seen how well the set piece has been going

:49:46. > :49:53.and the line at a specially, good platform for their backs. -- the

:49:54. > :50:00.line-out. Humphreys. That is not good at all. So he failed to find

:50:01. > :50:05.his touch not that long ago and has put the ball straight into touch,

:50:06. > :50:09.giving Treviso the advantage. Not what you expect from the

:50:10. > :50:15.outside-half. He will be hugely disappointed with that. So back to

:50:16. > :50:23.Treviso, can they do something else before the interval? Treviso. Ulster

:50:24. > :50:28.disappointed with that. When you give away three points, it is

:50:29. > :50:31.important not to give the opposition advantage. Treviso well-placed on

:50:32. > :50:37.both sides. Potentially an overlap on the left so important for Paul

:50:38. > :50:42.Marshall to defend. Not much competing at the back of the Treviso

:50:43. > :50:50.scrum and he will try and mark the Treviso outside-half. It has gone a

:50:51. > :50:57.bit wobbly. They are not going for the penalty, they are going for the

:50:58. > :51:00.ball. Sgarbi the skipper. It is not forward. Referee playing advantage,

:51:01. > :51:06.Ulster. Dangerous game played by Ulster. Gilroy on his own and the

:51:07. > :51:10.referee was the whistle and they have to come back. Not sure what

:51:11. > :51:15.Ulster were doing, a bit frantic, they need to settle down and get to

:51:16. > :51:18.half-time on level terms and have a good chat at the interval and come

:51:19. > :51:23.out all guns blazing. Once that turnover came, you can get two quick

:51:24. > :51:29.passes away in the space but Ulster were passing to a man not in

:51:30. > :51:36.position. The surface is not easy for getting away from people. It is

:51:37. > :51:39.quite sticky and not a fast-track. The ball moves faster than the man

:51:40. > :51:44.and the pass get there quicker than the man trying to run. Getting

:51:45. > :51:47.themselves into a bit of bother, Ulster. If they get the right

:51:48. > :51:53.platform, they could do things this evening. The platform has not been

:51:54. > :51:58.that good. The line-out is fine, the scrum is creaky and Ulster have not

:51:59. > :52:14.had ball in hand and nobody is taking on the opposition.

:52:15. > :52:22.How did Ulster lose that? What was going on between Wilson and

:52:23. > :52:26.Marshall? Two experienced men. A chance now for the home side to do

:52:27. > :52:32.something before the interval. 4.5 minutes remaining, still in

:52:33. > :52:40.possession. The tackle is made by Sean Reidy. Bad scrum by Ulster.

:52:41. > :52:45.Taken low and accurately by Herring. It was Alan O'Connor. Sam Christie.

:52:46. > :52:50.Herring has made that tackle and the referee penalises Treviso for going

:52:51. > :52:55.over the top. No point in Ulster thinking about anything quick, they

:52:56. > :53:00.have to find their touch. The defending but the set piece is

:53:01. > :53:04.worrying. The down in communication between Wilson and Marshall and that

:53:05. > :53:08.should never happen. -- breakdown. The defensive structure has been

:53:09. > :53:14.strong and we see again Herring leading by example. Set piece work

:53:15. > :53:20.is exemplary. He does a lot of work around the pitch. Back to the match

:53:21. > :53:25.last week against Oyonnax, in terms of metres games, he was in the top

:53:26. > :53:31.four. He is a very clever rugby player. He kept his eye on the sum

:53:32. > :53:39.-- on the Treviso outside-half Sam Christie and he nailed him.

:53:40. > :53:48.Herring brings everybody up to the mark. 3.5 minutes until half-time.

:53:49. > :53:53.It is even. Great take by van der Merwe. That was an absolute

:53:54. > :54:01.shambles. You might well think that was not forward by Treviso. Ulster

:54:02. > :54:05.lost their concentration. We have seen six unforced errors, three

:54:06. > :54:11.penalties. The tide has turned in many ways. After a comfortable. In

:54:12. > :54:14.the first ten minutes by Ulster, the errors have allowed Treviso to get

:54:15. > :54:19.back into this game. Van der Merwe catching it well but I do not know

:54:20. > :54:27.what happened when he brought it down. It came off the shoulder of

:54:28. > :54:40.Ricky Lutton. A Treviso hand knocked it forward and Ulster have the

:54:41. > :54:43.scrummage. We were watching the game between the break and Munster and

:54:44. > :54:51.lamenting it and we have seen nothing better here! Average. The

:54:52. > :54:54.lack of tempo, there has been to the game and no flow. Plenty of effort

:54:55. > :55:04.from both sides but I would not say a lot of class, and there is a lack

:55:05. > :55:13.of accuracy. They have lost only once in 14 or 15 games against

:55:14. > :55:21.Treviso. It is now Cardiff Blues ten, Edinburgh three.

:55:22. > :55:31.Three minutes until the interval here at the Stadio Monigo. 3-3.

:55:32. > :55:41.Marshall starting his 10th game of the season. Now they get it away.

:55:42. > :55:45.Darren Cave, where is that going? A nice dummy by Olding, a bit of

:55:46. > :55:51.acceleration. Starting his first game for ten months. Marshall again,

:55:52. > :55:55.Humphreys. Van der Merwe taking man and ball, of side in the middle of

:55:56. > :55:59.the park against Treviso, the second time they have done that from his

:56:00. > :56:03.opposition. The crowd not happy with Ian Davis and Ian Davies will not

:56:04. > :56:10.care. Looking as if they will concede more points. Ulster.

:56:11. > :56:15.Definitely because of a Treviso mistake. They have a chance to go

:56:16. > :56:22.into what they call into the shed three points. I want and have no

:56:23. > :56:24.complaints. Replacement hooker Luca Bigi is a clear five yards offside.

:56:25. > :56:44.It was not a Treviso line. Humphreys who started off and 11th

:56:45. > :56:47.minute penalty, with just over a minute to go until half-time, has a

:56:48. > :56:54.chance to restore the lead for Ulster and he does just that. He

:56:55. > :57:00.gives it a nice alt. Treviso three, Ulster six. Ulster looking to get a

:57:01. > :57:04.clear strategy and do the simple things well at this stage. A minute

:57:05. > :57:09.to go, they want to go into the half-time break in the lead. And to

:57:10. > :57:20.catch this ball and to clear their lines. Jayden Hayward. The referee

:57:21. > :57:26.looked over his shoulder, he spotted a Treviso player of side. Gathered

:57:27. > :57:30.in by Ludik and he does not make any mistake. That is what you want from

:57:31. > :57:35.somebody like Louis Ludik, no-nonsense, played into touch. It

:57:36. > :57:47.is a Treviso line-out with half a minute to go. The Treviso/been

:57:48. > :58:01.called in. Ursula XII six years of age. 42 caps for England -- 36.

:58:02. > :58:06.First played in 2001. 15 years ago. Sam Christie. The skipper Sgarbi.

:58:07. > :58:17.Jayden Hayward into the line, well tackled by K. Nitoglia moved from

:58:18. > :58:22.the left wing to the right. We have now played 40 minutes. That is

:58:23. > :58:28.nicely done, good pick-up, but defending by Darren Cave yet again.

:58:29. > :58:30.That is not forward, the referee plays advantage. That is not

:58:31. > :58:32.forward, the referee plays advantage. That is not forward, the

:58:33. > :58:42.referee plays advantage. I Rob Herring. A dreadful pass by

:58:43. > :58:47.somebody. This is Marshall. I do not think he meant to put it there.

:58:48. > :58:51.Still therefore Treviso. Sgarbi. It may well go into touch and it does

:58:52. > :58:56.and that is half-time and Ian Davidson blows his whistle. Not the

:58:57. > :59:00.greatest first half of rugby we have ever seen, two penalties for Ulster

:59:01. > :59:10.and one for Treviso. 3-6. It certainly has not been a thriller

:59:11. > :59:14.but on a positive front, Ulster go in front at half-time, Stephen. That

:59:15. > :59:19.is the only positive from the first half! Not much rugby was played at

:59:20. > :59:23.the conditions were tough. Both teams struggling to hold onto the

:59:24. > :59:29.ball, a lot of mistakes and mod cons, hopefully it picks up. But

:59:30. > :59:33.ahead on the scoreboard and probably taking four bugs. We talked about

:59:34. > :59:37.bonus points before. Coming away from Treviso with four would be

:59:38. > :59:42.good. When Ulster travel to Italy, do you in advance think you will be

:59:43. > :59:47.involved in a game like that, a slugfest? I have been over there on

:59:48. > :59:52.many occasions like Stephen. Sometimes you get an early score and

:59:53. > :59:57.things open up and you get a bit of confidence. The Italian teams and

:59:58. > :00:01.especially Treviso, I have a difficult matches and a couple of

:00:02. > :00:05.mistakes like what is happening now, the accuracy is not quite what we

:00:06. > :00:09.want and they get their tails up and get on a roll and you can see

:00:10. > :00:12.confidence growing. What a terrible run they have been one. They feel

:00:13. > :00:29.like they are in this game today. Discipline will come into play here.

:00:30. > :00:34.It will come down to penalties and especially in defence, they have

:00:35. > :00:38.been good, pretty solid. A missed tackle there but they are working

:00:39. > :00:45.hard for each other and they have not let them across the line, good

:00:46. > :00:49.discipline and Ardoyne, a few penalties, that has cost them. --

:00:50. > :01:07.Treviso. Treviso have lost 25 games. It is

:01:08. > :01:10.difficult. You can see by one or two missed tackles that is where the

:01:11. > :01:15.confidence comes. They train every week dreaming that this will be the

:01:16. > :01:19.week and at home, against Ulster they will be thinking it will be a

:01:20. > :01:25.tough game but you can see, a few missed tackles gets the confidence

:01:26. > :01:31.going and it will be a tough second half but I am confident that Les

:01:32. > :01:38.Kiss will have a tough talk to Ulster. What kind of coach is Les

:01:39. > :01:46.Kiss when the performance has been like that underscore is so tight? He

:01:47. > :01:52.is not one to go off the rails. I am sure at times he feels like he would

:01:53. > :01:57.like to. He looks at the statistics and what is working and what is not

:01:58. > :02:01.and they need to go back to basics, we need to win our set piece, get

:02:02. > :02:06.through the phase and run Treviso around the pitch. If we could hold

:02:07. > :02:10.onto the ball we will find gaps and it is about doing the basics and

:02:11. > :02:15.working from there. What has been working? Tommy talks about the

:02:16. > :02:22.basics, they have been throwing the ball around and they have been used

:02:23. > :02:27.to that, the weather has been good and they probably need to stick it

:02:28. > :02:33.up the jumper or, get Treviso to get their discipline to come into play.

:02:34. > :02:37.They have been solid, they need a bigger second-half to get over this

:02:38. > :02:40.side. Obviously at the breakdown here, Ulster have turned over a

:02:41. > :02:46.couple of balls and spent a lot of time defending. Treviso probably

:02:47. > :02:53.have the better first half even though they are down on the

:02:54. > :03:00.scoreboard. Ulster are working hard. Sean Reidy is targeting the ball

:03:01. > :03:04.well. It is making Treviso make mistakes and it is good to see. As

:03:05. > :03:11.someone who likes to get the ball in their hand and does not like not

:03:12. > :03:22.getting possession, how frustrating is the? I would imagine the backs

:03:23. > :03:26.are going mad. We have missed a few tackles, but I feel for Stuart

:03:27. > :03:30.Olding. It is his first game back, I am sure he is delighted to be out

:03:31. > :03:35.there and playing, but when you are out for ten months, you want to get

:03:36. > :03:41.the ball in your hand and reassure yourself. I would love to see him

:03:42. > :03:47.get the ball, he is up against the Treviso captain. He was an

:03:48. > :03:55.experienced international and it will be difficult. Louis Ludik, Rory

:03:56. > :03:59.Scholes, they are the sort of people we want to see get the ball into

:04:00. > :04:06.their hands. Why do you think Ulster have been so inaccurate? When one

:04:07. > :04:13.air starts, another one click send -- mistake. The game kicked off and

:04:14. > :04:18.all we were watching was then kick the ball to each other. They were

:04:19. > :04:25.trying to go wide with wraparound play, Darren Cave trying to get

:04:26. > :04:34.Marshall. It summed up the first half pretty well. Another turnover,

:04:35. > :04:38.a bit of miscommunication. The Italians feed off that and they will

:04:39. > :04:42.be getting confidence and we need to cut those out and how do you do

:04:43. > :04:47.that? You go back to basics and that is what the coach will be talking

:04:48. > :04:55.about. Paul Marshall has been in the thick of the action. He feeds off

:04:56. > :04:59.the pack going forward, finding space, that is the sort of area is

:05:00. > :05:03.that Marshall loves playing them. With Ruan Pienaar are at it is an

:05:04. > :05:10.opportunity for Paul to step up and show what he can do. It has been

:05:11. > :05:16.good and bad for Marshall. We will see how the second-half goals. What

:05:17. > :05:24.do you think? I was looking at the scrum. Last week was a really fast

:05:25. > :05:29.game for him. Speaking to a couple of the lads and Paul himself said he

:05:30. > :05:41.was exhausted afterwards. A really good run and I am sure he

:05:42. > :05:41.was exhausted afterwards. A really Ruan Pienaar being out and he is

:05:42. > :05:47.playing well, he needs the pack to give him the ball. I do. It is time

:05:48. > :05:52.for our half-time feature. I have been looking forward to this. Tommy

:05:53. > :06:00.Bowe is our new roving reporter this week. He took out a couple of his

:06:01. > :06:07.team-mates for a tour and a chat. Get in there! I think we have got

:06:08. > :06:27.you a booster seat! See you later. Here we are. All right Bill? With

:06:28. > :07:15.goodbye. Let us go, boys. What is the story

:07:16. > :07:23.with your nickname? That is not a nickname, that is my name. My first

:07:24. > :07:38.name is William. Where is the dog eat? -- dog. I had my first Ulster

:07:39. > :07:49.cap in 2003. I was just starting. I am the cool one. You are the Doctor.

:07:50. > :07:59.Thank you for bringing that up. What is your doctorate in? I am a doctor

:08:00. > :08:07.of science. General science. It goes along with my degree. Engineering

:08:08. > :08:15.degree. What about you? I have degrees. Pick one player in the

:08:16. > :08:19.squad, if you had a sister, who would you be happy for her to go out

:08:20. > :08:32.with? Stuart Waiton not be bad. Thank you. He is dark course. Thank

:08:33. > :08:46.you for joining us. Lovely stuff. Thank you. Cheers. All the best. See

:08:47. > :08:58.you later boys. Tommy how much did you ensure your day out? Been

:08:59. > :09:05.entered, you have a fair bit of downtime. I enjoyed it. I think that

:09:06. > :09:11.the boys were up her going out for a spin with me and I was surprised by

:09:12. > :09:17.that. Bit of fun. There is a longer version of that on the sports

:09:18. > :09:22.website. Les Kiss joined us on our online show, Ulster Rugby extra and

:09:23. > :09:30.it is available on the website as well. Coming up this week, Ian

:09:31. > :09:33.Humphreys is our guest. Let us talk about the second-half, what do

:09:34. > :09:40.Ulster need to do to try and close this game out? The pack needs to get

:09:41. > :09:44.on top of Treviso and give Paul and Ian the ball they need to get the

:09:45. > :09:51.backline moving forward. I want to see Stuart Olding getting N. It all

:09:52. > :09:57.starts with the pack up front. Famous last words, it can only get

:09:58. > :10:02.better. Hopefully we can grind out a hard win. We cannot underestimate

:10:03. > :10:07.how important it is for Ulster to try and get a victory. Absolutely.

:10:08. > :10:11.You mentioned at the start, if Ulster were to win, if we were to

:10:12. > :10:17.get five points, we leapfrogged up the table. These are the sort of

:10:18. > :10:23.games and that if we come put together back-to-back results, we

:10:24. > :10:30.will see other teams follow. Treviso is a difficult place to go, but I

:10:31. > :10:37.hope we can come out with a victory. Some good young players may get a

:10:38. > :10:41.run out. There are a couple of young players, like Lorcan Dow and Jacob

:10:42. > :10:45.Stockdale. They would be great for them to get an opportunity. They

:10:46. > :10:48.will not want to empty the bench early but for these young fellows,

:10:49. > :10:54.there is a lot of talent, these are the games when guys are way with

:10:55. > :10:59.international duty that they have to be bled in. Hopefully they will get

:11:00. > :11:04.a chance. I suppose the next 40 minutes can define how Ulster are

:11:05. > :11:07.going to perform. You're right. We looked at the table, Ulster are

:11:08. > :11:14.sixth, if they get a good win, they can move up to fourth. If they lose,

:11:15. > :11:20.the gap gets bigger between them and the top four. We have a few home

:11:21. > :11:23.games and everyone expects us to win them, but game is vital to get

:11:24. > :11:28.Ulster on the front foot and keep them going up the table. Who do you

:11:29. > :11:35.think Ulster will look to most here to show leadership? And think Rob

:11:36. > :11:40.Herring is leading from the front. He is doing as much as he can, but

:11:41. > :11:44.the guys need to get their hands on the ball. We have seen Roger Wilson

:11:45. > :11:48.running at guys and we need front football. They all need to step up

:11:49. > :11:55.their hand and say the first half was not good enough, we need to

:11:56. > :12:01.China get the win. You confident about the win? Yes. It will not be

:12:02. > :12:05.easy. It looks like the weather is not great. Hopefully we can come

:12:06. > :12:10.away with four points, we will see how we go. Thank you. It is back to

:12:11. > :12:17.our commentary team. It is not getting any warmer here at

:12:18. > :12:41.B-17 eye. -- Stadio Monigo. There is a

:12:42. > :12:46.replacement in the Treviso front row. Jayden Hayward got their

:12:47. > :12:51.solitary penalty and gets the second half under way. Darren Cave straight

:12:52. > :12:55.into action. Can Ulster get themselves galvanised. A low-key

:12:56. > :13:03.first half. Here is Rob Herring. Marshall. Ulster have got to get

:13:04. > :13:14.that go forward ball. They have set up a nice platform for Marshall who

:13:15. > :13:29.will kick. He moved that infield. 34. Lucchese.

:13:30. > :13:42.-- Iannone. Ulster are trying to get them, the referee is happy it is

:13:43. > :13:46.legal. Lucchese. Lazzaroni. Lucchese again. Sam Christie into a bit of

:13:47. > :13:57.space filled immediately by Rory Scholes. That is not a bad kick by

:13:58. > :14:01.Rory Scholes. Nice position, good kick to touch but I think Stephen

:14:02. > :14:06.Ferris got it right, Ulster have to man up individually and take

:14:07. > :14:12.ownership of this performance. These sort of games, this game bobs along,

:14:13. > :14:18.no one really grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and dragging it

:14:19. > :14:32.along. Certainly the Ulster pack have to try and generate some good

:14:33. > :14:43.fast football. 29-macro has, on four Treviso

:14:44. > :14:52.-- Filippetto. Rob Herring makes a strong thumb. Christie tries to move

:14:53. > :14:58.it wide. A rejuvenated Treviso. Here is half a chance. Ulster have to get

:14:59. > :15:04.the men across and it Treviso have their tails up. The ball has gone

:15:05. > :15:08.into touch. What started the second half by the men in green and white

:15:09. > :15:16.and not by Ulster. Treviso are moving the ball well. Good width in

:15:17. > :15:20.their attack. Ulster have conceded and they need to use the touchline

:15:21. > :15:33.as their friend. Comes that comes the risk of a missed tackle. Robert

:15:34. > :15:42.Barbieri and Alan O'Connor, he does not miss any of those. Well taken by

:15:43. > :15:48.O'Connor who has been great. Ulster trying to catch Treviso offside.

:15:49. > :15:55.Marshall. Good chase by Rory Scholes. Forward by Treviso. The

:15:56. > :16:00.referee plane advantage to Ulster. They could not secure the ball and

:16:01. > :16:08.Ulster are going to get put into the scrum. He has kicked well all at

:16:09. > :16:11.genome. Clever play by Rory Scholes, using the back of the referee to get

:16:12. > :16:18.himself in front of Paul Marshall. The referee does not see him but

:16:19. > :16:23.then again, he then has the thought of mind to play the man in the air.

:16:24. > :16:45.He lets him land. Cardiff Blues are beating Edinburgh

:16:46. > :16:54.10-3. Here at Tulisa with four minutes gone, a couple of penalties

:16:55. > :17:02.from Humphreys -- Treviso. And Ulster scrum. Marshall reaches for

:17:03. > :17:08.it. Try game forward. You worry about that communication coming is

:17:09. > :17:15.Humphreys put Rory Scholes then, good support play from Ulster. Sean

:17:16. > :17:20.Reidy, Marshall, Humphreys. Bad pass. That was not a good pass by

:17:21. > :17:27.Humphreys. The referee waved in advantage for Treviso and no

:17:28. > :17:31.advantage for Treviso. Work is all the slick handling we expect?

:17:32. > :17:40.Beautiful switch play. We talked about this, it was Rory Scholes. A

:17:41. > :17:45.fine tackle by Lazzaroni. The basic execution of simple parsers. Put the

:17:46. > :17:53.ball in front of the man and give him the chance to try and catch it

:17:54. > :18:05.-- passes. To be as though have made two changes in their front row. --

:18:06. > :18:20.Treviso. Filippetto is on. This man is only 20 years old.

:18:21. > :18:32.They have the slight edge and they are trying to squeeze out a penalty.

:18:33. > :18:42.They managed to do it. That is another penalty that the Ulster

:18:43. > :18:47.scrum has conceded. Treviso putting up the pressure. Ulster tried to

:18:48. > :18:58.stab up and as he did that, it was Rob Herring who popped up his head

:18:59. > :19:04.stop Hayward give it a click. What a kick by Jayden Hayward. Ulster are

:19:05. > :19:10.ten metres away from their own line and the opposition have got the

:19:11. > :19:14.throw. Is it going to be the old fashioned throw catch and drive, we

:19:15. > :19:21.will have to wait and see. That is what the intent will be. Plenty of

:19:22. > :19:32.target men here, particularly Tom Palmer. Palmer at the back, a good

:19:33. > :19:37.throw. Nice and accurate. Dated a risk. Ulster Dinky men, Treviso have

:19:38. > :19:46.the ball, good stuff by the replacement hooker is there an

:19:47. > :19:52.Ulster man in the way will stop another penalty. If Treviso score

:19:53. > :19:57.here, Ulster could be in difficulties. Treviso plane with

:19:58. > :20:04.intent and purpose and the combination of Ulster pressing too

:20:05. > :20:17.hard, good line-out defence from Ulster. Initially, it was Bigi who

:20:18. > :20:22.broke off on his own. Suddenly Treviso had a quick ball that they

:20:23. > :20:27.tried to get wide. The boys in the studio were saying that Ulster

:20:28. > :20:34.needed to stir well and they have not. They have given away

:20:35. > :20:40.possession. Put down a couple of bad passes. Jayden Hayward has the

:20:41. > :20:46.chance to draw the home side level. It means such a lot to the club, if

:20:47. > :21:02.they could win their first game. It has been a long time.

:21:03. > :21:14.He took its time but it was certainly worth it. Coming up to

:21:15. > :21:19.nine minutes gone and it is 6-6. Ulster are playing too much rugby

:21:20. > :21:24.inside their own 40 metre line. If you do not execute the simple pass,

:21:25. > :21:40.you're only shooting yourself in the foot. He puts that very long. That

:21:41. > :21:55.is in my strike by the fullback. Simple exit strategy. It is simple

:21:56. > :21:59.but very effective. It is something we saw initially, they spent the

:22:00. > :22:11.first ten minutes putting a lot of ball in the air. On this occasion,

:22:12. > :22:19.it is Treviso who are trying to get strangled grip on this game. Rob

:22:20. > :22:24.Herring. Taken by O'Connor and it is good work by Ulster. A lot of bodies

:22:25. > :22:28.have gone to ground, difficult for Ulster to make progress. Paul

:22:29. > :22:39.Marshall and asking them to go forward. That is a good drive by the

:22:40. > :22:43.Ulster forward pack which will put a smile on the face of Alan Clark and

:22:44. > :22:51.the penalty has been earned. Marshall takes it. Filo Paulo gets

:22:52. > :23:00.it away. Sean Reidy. Too many people outside him. That gap line has been

:23:01. > :23:09.filled. Marshall, Humphreys. Into a bit of space and it was all too easy

:23:10. > :23:24.to defend. It was covered well by Treviso. The Marshall on this

:23:25. > :23:30.occasion. The advantage of another ten metres. Nice line-out by Ulster

:23:31. > :23:35.in terms of sucking the defenders then. It is a difficult skill to do

:23:36. > :23:39.well because potentially all the opposition want to do is drag it

:23:40. > :23:43.down. You need to get the ball to the back. At the same stage, make

:23:44. > :23:50.sure you're not obstructing the opposition. Rob Herring has decided

:23:51. > :23:58.he is going to go for that little bit more. Treviso have a man down, I

:23:59. > :24:20.do not think he is injured, it is Tom Palmer. Albert Jones. -- Alberto

:24:21. > :24:25.De Marchi. It was Lazzaroni who worked his way through and give away

:24:26. > :24:30.the penalty. No real excuse from Ulster. They had plenty of time, Rob

:24:31. > :24:36.Herring spoke to the forwards and they know what they have to do. You

:24:37. > :24:44.would imagine they will go for catch and drive. Look out for Craig Gilroy

:24:45. > :24:49.behind Ian Humphreys. Ulster have looked at this pattern before. It

:24:50. > :24:56.worked with Rory Scholes. The throw was good, the catch was good, Ulster

:24:57. > :25:02.looking for the drive forward. The referee has given another penalty.

:25:03. > :25:12.Ulster is still churning forward, the advantage with the visitors.

:25:13. > :25:20.Ulster still making headway. Ulster knew the penalty was there. It was

:25:21. > :25:33.going to be Humphreys, into touch once again. Ulster need to respond

:25:34. > :25:37.now. Rob Herring giving his forward clear instruction and I am sure he

:25:38. > :25:42.will go for the same option. He will try to win the ball, set a platform

:25:43. > :25:48.and tried to squeeze this left or right. It is important from the

:25:49. > :25:54.perspective of Treviso they do not give away a succession of penalties.

:25:55. > :25:58.The referee has spoken to Alberto Sgarbi about deliberate penalties

:25:59. > :26:03.and he is saying any more, I am going for the pocket. Franco Van Der

:26:04. > :26:08.Merwe. Rob Herring threw the ball to him. Treviso have dropped it again.

:26:09. > :26:13.Another penalty and Ulster are still moving forward and they may be

:26:14. > :26:17.looking for the penalty try. The referee has the hand-out for the

:26:18. > :26:23.penalty. Ulster are only two or three metres away. The referee says

:26:24. > :26:28.they have the try. All that pressure has paid off and Alan O'Connor, I

:26:29. > :26:32.think, will be credited with the touchdown. What a good piece of

:26:33. > :26:36.forward play and all that pressure paid off and Ulster have responded

:26:37. > :26:44.to the Treviso penalty in the best possible fashion. Great control,

:26:45. > :26:48.nice throw, simple straight catch. They have the fortitude to stay

:26:49. > :27:01.together will stop nicely controlled and Paul Marshall directing things

:27:02. > :27:11.well. Potentially Sean Reidy, that is another try for Sean Reidy.

:27:12. > :27:26.Ulster back in the lead. This time by five points. Ian Humphreys to

:27:27. > :27:31.make it seven. 13 minutes gone in the second half. That is a good

:27:32. > :27:37.strike by Ian Humphreys, just held it up nicely. Well struck by the

:27:38. > :27:46.Ulsterman. Lovely strike by Ian Humphreys. Again, conditions are

:27:47. > :27:52.difficult and that will do his confidence a world of good. Two

:27:53. > :28:05.simple catch and drive efforts worked well but so effective.

:28:06. > :28:15.Hayward. Down to Craig Gilroy. Just gets outside his 22. Clive Ross

:28:16. > :28:24.rocked back on his heels but the ball is to the possession of Ulster.

:28:25. > :28:30.Humphreys directly behind. Taken quickly by Jayden Hayward. Here is

:28:31. > :28:43.Barbieri. Could not make much of an impression with Leicester Tigers.

:28:44. > :28:50.Missed tackle by Ulster. Bacchin came away, Treviso are stretching

:28:51. > :28:56.meals to defence. Clive Ross came across, good covering by Stuart

:28:57. > :29:07.Olding. His head in the right place. Lucchese. Some Christie. Hayward

:29:08. > :29:17.into the line -- Sam Christie. Good covering by Callum Black. Filo

:29:18. > :29:22.Paulo. Taken down around the ankles by Alan O'Connor. Little chip kick

:29:23. > :29:30.by Christie, perhaps a little bit far and Louis Ludovic said put this

:29:31. > :29:35.down. Back come Treviso. We are starting to see Roger Wilson come

:29:36. > :29:40.into his own defensively. Louis Ludik will be happy to see that ball

:29:41. > :29:45.go over the goal line. There was just enough on it, if it came back

:29:46. > :30:14.the wrong way, they would have found all sorts of problems.

:30:15. > :30:22.Forward. Taken by Louis Ludik. Referee waiting for advantage from

:30:23. > :30:29.Ulster. Marshall gets it away. Humphreys. Dangerous stuff, well

:30:30. > :30:35.taken. A chance for Ulster. Roger Wilson, good by the number eight.

:30:36. > :30:42.Support play from Franco van der Merwe. Ulster now inside the Treviso

:30:43. > :30:51.half. Marshall, Humphreys. Black, nicely done. Scholes, sidestep,

:30:52. > :30:56.acceleration by Olding. Away goes Olding. Great play by Olding, back

:30:57. > :31:04.in the side for the first time in ten months. Picked up by Scholes.

:31:05. > :31:09.Ludik out wide. Must like -- much more like the Ulster of old.

:31:10. > :31:14.Marshall has a go himself, squeezed underneath a couple of tackles.

:31:15. > :31:19.Still there for the visitors, Ludik at scrum-half. Cave takes it

:31:20. > :31:26.forward. Harder and harder now to see in the mist. The shirts moving

:31:27. > :31:31.towards the Green posts. Marshall gets it away. Humphreys gets away

:31:32. > :31:37.from one man. Back inside, well taken I Clive Ross. For his first

:31:38. > :31:44.Ulster try. Marshall into the Open side. If anybody deserves a first

:31:45. > :31:51.goal, it is Alan O'Connor. Set up nicely for Ludik who gets cluttered.

:31:52. > :31:57.Still there for Ulster. The referee has a hand-out for a penalty. Taken

:31:58. > :32:04.on a game by Ross. And by Marshall. Straight through. Darren Cave. The

:32:05. > :32:08.second try for Ulster. At the end of the third quarter, Ulster now

:32:09. > :32:12.getting more than a nose in front. That is classic Darren Cave, taking

:32:13. > :32:18.the line. Stepping off the right foot, coming short. The

:32:19. > :32:23.communications spot on between him and Marshall. Again, controlled by

:32:24. > :32:27.Ulster. Sucking up pressure, keeping possession, going through the

:32:28. > :32:32.phases. That is what they talked about at half-time, building their

:32:33. > :32:38.way into the game. Clive Ross a game has come into the game with Wilson

:32:39. > :32:42.in terms of ball carrying. Clever from Cave, the Gypsy King space

:32:43. > :32:49.between the two defenders and finding a weak shoulder. -- picking

:32:50. > :32:54.the space. He is always going quickly and the target is very

:32:55. > :33:02.small. This is Humphreys. Ten points. Ulster now up to 20 points.

:33:03. > :33:09.It is 6-20 inside the third quarter. Would you like to think that Ulster

:33:10. > :33:14.could potentially not take their foot of the gas but look at that

:33:15. > :33:19.four tries? The last ten minutes superb. The coaching team have got

:33:20. > :33:24.over their message, taken on board by the players. They have taken

:33:25. > :33:28.collective nose, they have taken pride in measured. And the

:33:29. > :33:40.performance level is on a different level. This is Black. Andrew Warwick

:33:41. > :33:47.coming on, the Ulster player. Treviso making a number of changes.

:33:48. > :33:59.Number 20 is the South African Steyn. The Samoan Simone Ragusi. And

:34:00. > :34:09.Cherif Traore. So one change by Ulster and three by Treviso. Also

:34:10. > :34:13.looking to come on is Luke Marshall. Maybe they have decided Olding has

:34:14. > :34:18.done his bit. This is the price scorer Darren Cave and he has a go

:34:19. > :34:21.again. Get into the low body position and across the game line.

:34:22. > :34:28.Marshall looking for somebody in the near side. Craig Gilroy not a lot of

:34:29. > :34:41.room to operate. Roger Wilson. Humphreys. Cave gives it a bump.

:34:42. > :34:47.Well gathered in. That is the replacement who takes it forward,

:34:48. > :34:52.Steyn. Lucchese. Treviso by no means out of this game. Extra man, good

:34:53. > :34:57.tackle by Cave on the replacement hooker Luca Bigi. Lucchese. Well

:34:58. > :35:07.driven forward by the other de Marchi. Sam Christie. An overlap,

:35:08. > :35:12.Ulster have to be careful. Olding threw himself into that tackle, back

:35:13. > :35:19.on the Treviso side. This is to replacement prop, Cherif Traore.

:35:20. > :35:28.Lucchese again, Wicca for Treviso. Sgarbi the skipper trying to

:35:29. > :35:33.galvanise his side. -- quicker. Christie has the past. Good cover by

:35:34. > :35:39.Ulster and they get the scrum. And good cover by that man, Roger

:35:40. > :35:47.Wilson, again. He knocks it free. And Humphreys, then Luke Marshall. I

:35:48. > :35:51.expect we will see him moving into the outside-half position. This

:35:52. > :35:57.could be very interesting. Olding is coming back for his first game after

:35:58. > :36:03.a long time and he is now in a pivotal edition. Looking to see

:36:04. > :36:08.where Ludik goes. Taking a position inside Marshall so we expect him to

:36:09. > :36:12.run into the outside-half position which he has played before. He can

:36:13. > :36:19.play anywhere across the back line. Starting to see some glimpses of the

:36:20. > :36:28.old Olding already, great to see him back. That little acceleration has

:36:29. > :36:34.eventually led to the try. Darren Cave was very definite. He is going

:36:35. > :36:43.into the outside-half position. Luke Marshall and Darren Cave together.

:36:44. > :36:54.Less than 20 minutes to go. Ulster leading by 20-6, two tries already.

:36:55. > :37:03.And the scrum is much better. Roger Wilson controlling. Marshall, a chip

:37:04. > :37:07.kick to set up. Is there any room? There seems not to be and Darren

:37:08. > :37:16.Cave has done a good job, Scholes also. Treviso winning it. Lucchese

:37:17. > :37:24.looking for a run-off. Palmer. A slow ball, Treviso. Van der Merwe

:37:25. > :37:30.back onside, Lucchese with a clever kick. Scholes, well taken. Has he

:37:31. > :37:38.turned it round to make it available? He has. Well done,

:37:39. > :37:45.Scholes. Olding, K. Marshall. Cave has a go, well tackled and he does

:37:46. > :37:55.release. Alan O'Connor. Taken by Traore. Ludik in the outside-half

:37:56. > :38:03.position. Throwing everything into it and having no luck in terms of

:38:04. > :38:08.line breaking. Andrew Warwick. Treviso not in a rush to get out of

:38:09. > :38:15.the way. Olding with his first kick. Straight in the air and coming back.

:38:16. > :38:25.Marshall in there as well. It is knocked forward. I think by Ulster.

:38:26. > :38:35.And it will be a Treviso scrummage. Another replacement of being made by

:38:36. > :38:40.Ulster. Alan O'Connor coming off and Peter Browne is coming on.

:38:41. > :38:48.Replacement everywhere. A good share -- a good shift by him. Set pieces

:38:49. > :39:03.have stood up well. These guys have not let the side down. The triple

:39:04. > :39:07.Oxford blue, Ricky Lutton. He and Alan O'Connor have done well and

:39:08. > :39:17.they deserved that funding. Like wise, Ricky Lutton. Peter Browne is

:39:18. > :39:32.coming on. He scored a try against Treviso in Belfast in the early

:39:33. > :39:36.stages of October. Not much for the meagre support here in Treviso to

:39:37. > :39:40.cheer about this evening. At times, they thought they might produce

:39:41. > :39:48.something and they still might, still a fair bit to go. Ulster 20-6

:39:49. > :39:57.to the good. Last time they were here, they were 24-0 up and they won

:39:58. > :40:01.at 24-22. It is difficult at the Stadio Monigo. They won the last

:40:02. > :40:14.four but had to fight for each of them. Steady. That is a bit better.

:40:15. > :40:19.Looking at the scrum of Ulster, Treviso slow to get it away. The

:40:20. > :40:24.interception. It is going to lead to the try and it is going to be

:40:25. > :40:29.Scholes yet again with a 30 try for Ulster and that should put the tin

:40:30. > :40:35.hat on it! The scrum under pressure, is slow ball coming back. Scholes

:40:36. > :40:41.reading it magnificently. Eatable defence. A lot of credit again to

:40:42. > :40:48.Darren Cave and the pressure he put on the Treviso midfield centre

:40:49. > :40:55.Sgarbi. Scholes lead it beautifully. He has a sense like Darren Cave

:40:56. > :41:00.anti-scores tries for fun. The more he plays for Ulster, the more

:41:01. > :41:05.comfortable he looks. He was an excellent schoolboy and is now an

:41:06. > :41:10.excellent professional player. He says, thank you very much indeed.

:41:11. > :41:17.Darren Cave picked that beautifully. Real pace. All the defender could

:41:18. > :41:22.see in his face was Darren Cave, never mind the ball. Better to hold

:41:23. > :41:26.onto that and take the hit rather than flicking one away. Scholes

:41:27. > :41:32.again reading it superbly in midfield. You see Darren Cave

:41:33. > :41:36.pushing hard. He leads the spot. Scholes parallel and happy to step

:41:37. > :41:43.in and take that and nobody is going to catch him from that position.

:41:44. > :41:50.Having another look at that. Has somebody complained? Treviso behind

:41:51. > :41:54.their posts waiting for Stuart Olding to take the conversion.

:41:55. > :41:58.Everybody thought that was a perfectly good try. Not sure what

:41:59. > :42:03.that was. This is where it started. Treviso trying to get a squeeze and

:42:04. > :42:10.Ulster shunting them back. This is Lucchese. I do not know what the

:42:11. > :42:19.problem was. Interference? I cannot see anything wrong. This was the

:42:20. > :42:24.past. Darren Cave was not offside, he went quickly and made a good hit

:42:25. > :42:27.and nothing wrong with the contact. The referee has decided there is

:42:28. > :42:33.nothing wrong with the try and nothing wrong with the conversion by

:42:34. > :42:40.Olding. The first point by him or Ulster in such a long time. Ulster

:42:41. > :42:45.leading by a decent margin, 27-6. I suspect the referee thought that

:42:46. > :42:51.Darren Cave may have been offside because of the way he went up. He

:42:52. > :42:56.sprinted ten, 15 metres to make the turnover. Lucchese looked offside

:42:57. > :43:03.but quite clearly, it was not offside. Palmer has gone off the

:43:04. > :43:06.field and the French born Italian international Jean-Francois

:43:07. > :43:13.Montauriol has come on. And big congratulations to the Ulster

:43:14. > :43:18.replacement Lorcan Dow, the weekend of his 21st birthday, he had a party

:43:19. > :43:23.plans. His France in his house and he hopes to join them later when the

:43:24. > :43:29.flight gets back to Belfast. So we hope he is not playing while they

:43:30. > :43:33.wreck the house! So what a good start for the young man.

:43:34. > :43:42.Congratulations to the university student. Lucchese did well to get

:43:43. > :43:52.back. Enrico Bacchin goes to scrum-half. Jayden Hayward gets it

:43:53. > :43:58.away. Steyn, good covering tackle by Luke Marshall. Good tackle once

:43:59. > :44:04.again by Ulster. It goes loose. The referee says, let's go back to the

:44:05. > :44:08.initial lock forward. It is a scrum for Ulster and the first set to

:44:09. > :44:14.peaceful Lorcan Dow as a senior. Outstanding schoolboy and

:44:15. > :44:18.professional. He has been playing for Queen's University but this is a

:44:19. > :44:22.big step up. I think he is lead it. He has played his age-group

:44:23. > :44:28.international rugby. They think highly of him. He has been in the

:44:29. > :44:34.Ulster Academy with Kieran Campbell for the last couple of years and

:44:35. > :44:37.certainly at under 20 rugby, he has been outstanding for Ireland and one

:44:38. > :44:46.would hope he has a great future ahead of him. He is going in the

:44:47. > :44:50.number eight position. Still called of ten, Edinburgh three. -- Cardiff

:44:51. > :45:05.ten. Good control by Lorcan Dow.

:45:06. > :45:09.Marshall. Straight run, the past disrupted, it has gone back word,

:45:10. > :45:15.another good game by Paul Marshall and here he goes again. Good support

:45:16. > :45:21.play by the second row replacement, Browne. Now back on the Ulster side

:45:22. > :45:28.and referee happy to play on and gives a penalty against Treviso for

:45:29. > :45:33.not releasing in the tackle. Ulster need to steady themselves down.

:45:34. > :45:38.Olding is equally at home with his left or right foot. This time his

:45:39. > :45:45.left foot. It bit scruffy but he does find his touch. That was

:45:46. > :45:49.knocked forward but the flag is up so a Ulster line-up. 40 minutes

:45:50. > :45:54.remaining, Ulster 21 points ahead at a bonus point would be special. It

:45:55. > :46:01.could make all the difference to the table at the end of the second day

:46:02. > :46:06.of this rugby weekend. Ulster clearly need a bonus point. Not the

:46:07. > :46:13.most elegant kick from Olding, but effective. The goalkeeping on the

:46:14. > :46:23.left wing. Trying to keep the ball in play, from Tommaso Iannone. James

:46:24. > :46:31.Ambrosini coming on for Ulster -- Treviso at scrum-half. Lucchese

:46:32. > :46:34.going off. Ulster winning the line-out. Treviso stormed through,

:46:35. > :46:39.putting them under a little pressure. Marshall looking for

:46:40. > :46:43.somebody to take it forward. Gets it in the shape of his skipper lady

:46:44. > :46:52.macro who always goes forward. Roger Wilson. -- Herring. Good stretch to

:46:53. > :47:01.Olding and a good pass. Another good pass by Herring. Scholes has given

:47:02. > :47:05.it a kick. Treviso sit and watch it roll into touch to get the line-out.

:47:06. > :47:11.Only about 15 metres from their own line. 30 minutes amending. Ulster

:47:12. > :47:16.happy to play the territory game at this stage. They potentially want to

:47:17. > :47:23.keep the ball in hand and go through those phases. On this occasion,

:47:24. > :47:31.Scholes happy to get the ball in. Unfortunately, line-up for Treviso.

:47:32. > :47:38.A bit of a clump at the front, can Ulster disrupt? That is not great,

:47:39. > :47:42.scooped him by Treviso. It is getting harder and harder to see

:47:43. > :47:46.this game. The floodlights are not wonderful and it is getting misty by

:47:47. > :47:55.the second. Roger Wilson. Treviso have no option but to kick. This is

:47:56. > :48:06.Gilroy. He puts his foot on the gas. Good stuff by Craig Gilroy. Giving

:48:07. > :48:15.Ulster great edition. Marshall. Good carried by the younger man, Lorcan

:48:16. > :48:22.Dow. Marshall again. Olding. Ulster need the ball and they have got it.

:48:23. > :48:28.Marshall takes it to his right. Andrew Warwick takes it forward.

:48:29. > :48:35.Marshall again. Ross drives forward and he makes good round, the

:48:36. > :48:40.replacement tighthead. Darren Cave. Is Dow going to score on his debut?

:48:41. > :48:48.No, the referee judged the past to be forward. A bit impetuous from

:48:49. > :48:54.Dow. A bit quick. Would you blame him? Not at all. It is a good line

:48:55. > :49:00.but he overshoots its likely and the more obvious pass from Darren Cave

:49:01. > :49:06.was behind which Ulster behind. It break from Gilroy, a pirouette of

:49:07. > :49:11.the left foot down the touchline. You cannot stress enough to people

:49:12. > :49:17.at home, the surface of the pitch is very sticky and hard to get pictures

:49:18. > :49:21.to get acceleration. The Treviso defence could come across and cut

:49:22. > :49:27.him down. On a bust and hard track, Craig Gilroy could use his twinkling

:49:28. > :49:34.toes to open up a try scoring opportunity -- basta. The great

:49:35. > :49:40.players of all time for Ulster giving him a bit of a doubt.

:49:41. > :49:44.Discriminating today about the players Ulster do not have and the

:49:45. > :49:55.15 they might have put out with Jared Payne and Andrew Trimble. They

:49:56. > :50:05.could have started at half-backs with Ruan Pienaar. Rory Best.

:50:06. > :50:13.Henderson and Chris Henry. Luke Marshall has come on what we are

:50:14. > :50:19.missing 15. Some missing but in terms of the second half, the first

:50:20. > :50:24.half is better forgotten, to be honest. Darren Cave gnosis position

:50:25. > :50:30.at centre, an abundance of riches. You cannot afford to have a bad game

:50:31. > :50:39.-- an abundance of positions at centre. He has been exemplary in his

:50:40. > :50:43.central role, after that injury he picked up before Christmas, missing

:50:44. > :50:48.five or six weeks. Impressed again with Roger Wilson, he shows his

:50:49. > :50:55.experience, he has led well and been defensively sound. He has taken on

:50:56. > :51:00.Barbieri completely. We should see before the end of the game and new

:51:01. > :51:06.face to this level of rugby, Jacob Stockdale, the Ulster replacement.

:51:07. > :51:16.In the meantime, every placement in the Treviso back division. Andrea

:51:17. > :51:21.Pratichetti. And going off, it it is Enrico Bacchin. The referee bringing

:51:22. > :51:27.them together again. The game has died a bit but Ulster can entertain

:51:28. > :51:31.serious hopes of a bonus point. They have ten minutes but they have to

:51:32. > :51:37.get as ashen and at the moment, the possession is with the men in Green,

:51:38. > :51:44.Treviso. An unfortunate run -- possession. And the losses look set

:51:45. > :51:53.to continue. Treviso will empathise. But they will not be at all sorry.

:51:54. > :52:00.Replacement scrum-half, James Ambrosini. That is a good scrum by

:52:01. > :52:08.Ulster. Another chance. Olding had a go himself. Marshall. Set it up to

:52:09. > :52:13.Peter Browne, looking for a second try against this side. Ulster

:52:14. > :52:17.getting ever closer. They move in fields to give options on both

:52:18. > :52:25.sides. Good drive forward by Herring the skipper. Marshall trying to get

:52:26. > :52:32.organised. Ulster go again. Ross looking for his Ulster try. Good

:52:33. > :52:36.defending by Treviso but Ulster winning the ball. Surely the bonus

:52:37. > :52:43.point is there for the taking? Marshall has a go. The referee

:52:44. > :52:48.watching, not across the line yet. A great chance for Ulster. Olding and

:52:49. > :52:54.I think he has got it down. The referee has given the try. Bonus

:52:55. > :53:00.point try. And what a return! What a return to play from Stuart Olding.

:53:01. > :53:08.Clever play. We talked about the simple basics done well. Secure

:53:09. > :53:13.possession, squeeze the ball back. Olding sees the gap and he goes for

:53:14. > :53:17.it and he has the strength and the patience to let momentum take over

:53:18. > :53:22.and that is a bonus point try for Ulster. At half-time, we did not see

:53:23. > :53:30.that coming, at the second half has been a different performance. And

:53:31. > :53:36.one that Less Kiss will be very happy about. Olding got to score

:53:37. > :53:40.himself. A great return to representative rugby. And now

:53:41. > :53:46.attempting a conversion as Ulster bring on a couple more replacements.

:53:47. > :53:55.David Shanahan should come on soon. Olding. He scoffed at that, we will

:53:56. > :54:01.forgive him a first missed kick. Four tries for Ulster and five

:54:02. > :54:06.points. Eight minutes remaining. A thoroughly good day at the office.

:54:07. > :54:10.The first half infinitely forgettable, second-half memorable.

:54:11. > :54:15.Superb and that performance has given the chance to guys like Dow

:54:16. > :54:20.and Jacob Stockdale to get game time and I cannot stress how much this is

:54:21. > :54:27.an experience for them in terms of the ballot. And those plays in the

:54:28. > :54:32.Academy, to make that step up. That is young Jacob Stockdale. He has

:54:33. > :54:42.gathered well. A couple of years ago, he was the player of the at his

:54:43. > :54:57.high score. Winning his first Irish cap. A clever kick. That is giving

:54:58. > :55:04.Treviso possession. They bring a lot of of colour and passion to their

:55:05. > :55:12.support all round Europe. And elsewhere. David Shanahan desperate

:55:13. > :55:17.to get on for the last five minutes. Paul Marshall is going to come off.

:55:18. > :55:23.And the under 20 international David Shanahan takes to the field.

:55:24. > :55:28.Marshall leaves the field. Another very good field. He was very good

:55:29. > :55:31.last week and again this week. He has had better play to work with and

:55:32. > :55:36.it has been his service at number nine that has opened up try scoring

:55:37. > :55:45.opportunities for Ulster. Aggro to will throw everything at this. --

:55:46. > :55:49.Treviso. Not a bad kick but Scholes does not that, it goes into touch

:55:50. > :55:59.for a Ulster line-out. 6.5 minutes remaining. Leinster losing last

:56:00. > :56:03.night to the Dragons. Convert turning over the Scarlets and

:56:04. > :56:12.getting a bonus point win. It is Cardiff Blues ten, and Edinburgh

:56:13. > :56:22.three. That is well taken by big Peter Browne. A couple of handy men.

:56:23. > :56:27.That is the replacement David Shanahan saying, give me the ball

:56:28. > :56:32.any time. They held onto it a bit too long and a bit of pressure with

:56:33. > :56:40.the kick. It is knocked down. Treviso driving forward. Cherif

:56:41. > :56:45.Traore knocked back by a tackle by Browne. Great defending by the

:56:46. > :56:50.second row replacement. Did he change his mind about the past? Well

:56:51. > :56:55.taken by Ulster, Treviso still looking for what would be the

:56:56. > :57:04.archetypal consolation try. Here they go again. And he was assuming

:57:05. > :57:08.there would be a player out there but you do not assume anything at

:57:09. > :57:18.this level. Nobody on this occasion for Treviso. And structured defence

:57:19. > :57:21.by Ulster. Ludik and Scholes defending the blindside. Scholes

:57:22. > :57:26.makes the tackle but nobody at home on the left wing. What a tackle by

:57:27. > :57:33.Scholes on the man about three times the size. Ludik covering anyway.

:57:34. > :57:36.Ulster win the line-out five metres from their own line and that is a

:57:37. > :57:45.good enthusiast did Ulster forward drive. That takes away confidence

:57:46. > :57:50.and strength. Desperate to get the ball, David Shanahan. They do not

:57:51. > :57:55.seem to want to give it to him, he is shut out completely, not doing

:57:56. > :58:00.him any favours. That is a lack of communication. Now he kicks it. Not

:58:01. > :58:07.a bad kick, he does not find his truck show. A chance for Treviso to

:58:08. > :58:13.counterattack and my word they are counterattacking! -- find his touch.

:58:14. > :58:23.Ulster determined not to have the line across. Four more minutes.

:58:24. > :58:27.Referee saying the penalty. Jacob Stockdale is six foot four and he

:58:28. > :58:32.gathers well under a little bit of pressure from Tommaso Iannone at the

:58:33. > :58:37.penalty has gone against Ulster. Wait to see players like Dow and

:58:38. > :58:44.Jacob Stockdale play for this Ulster side. It will give them a huge

:58:45. > :58:48.boost. I always thought he was a special talent. And he is a big

:58:49. > :58:53.specimen. I think more importantly it is essential. Irish drug in the

:58:54. > :58:58.way it is has to be organic and create its own players. -- Irish

:58:59. > :59:03.rugby. In the modern-day game, money does not grow on trees. With the

:59:04. > :59:10.policy on overseas players they can sign, you must produce from within.

:59:11. > :59:15.Another couple of announcements in the not too distant future. One

:59:16. > :59:20.involving a very high-profile Southern hemisphere back row

:59:21. > :59:25.forward. And since on a postcard, please. Treviso looking for the

:59:26. > :59:33.score. They have taken it in. On the second attempt. Jean-Francois

:59:34. > :59:38.Montauriol has his hand out. Is he giving another penalty? They have

:59:39. > :59:45.got the try. Right at the end of the game, they do manage to squeeze

:59:46. > :59:49.over. And it is the replacement back row forward, Steyn, across the

:59:50. > :59:55.Ulster line. A bit of respectability. Ulster disappointed

:59:56. > :00:02.with that but that does not matter in the great scheme of things and

:00:03. > :00:07.they have once -- long since scored the bonus point. Beautifully

:00:08. > :00:11.manufactured by Treviso. The driving maul has been a source of comfort.

:00:12. > :00:15.Swinging gets down the blindside and he had the control and the foresight

:00:16. > :00:23.to see the space opening up and happy to get it over the line.

:00:24. > :00:34.Humphreys pain a bit of attention to the try scorer. -- paying a bit of

:00:35. > :00:40.attention. This is Jayden Hayward. He has gone underneath that to come

:00:41. > :00:47.in. A very good kick from Hayward, he struck that beautifully. So a try

:00:48. > :00:51.right at the end for Treviso. It has come too late to make a difference

:00:52. > :00:55.to the outcome of the game or make any difference to the fact that

:00:56. > :01:01.Ulster will go home with the maximum points. They need a win like this,

:01:02. > :01:06.Dragons to come next week who have already turned over Leinster.

:01:07. > :01:13.Restart from Stuart Olding, not forward. Rattery plain advantage.

:01:14. > :01:21.Franco Van Der Merwe moving it on. Luke Marshall, Stuart Olding, nice

:01:22. > :01:31.pass will stop that is a good pass from the young man. Luke Marshall

:01:32. > :01:35.back inside to Jacob Stockdale. Spilled forward, the referee has

:01:36. > :01:40.played ultimate advantage. What are Treviso going to do? Either going to

:01:41. > :01:49.be adventurous? I think so. Andrew gets across and to make the tackle.

:01:50. > :01:56.Another tackle this time by Lorcan Dow. Stockdale is back in position,

:01:57. > :02:02.read it nicely. Hayward again. No way through. Good work eventually by

:02:03. > :02:09.Ulster and Bronson Ross the replacement tight head. We are now

:02:10. > :02:14.in what we call over time, the 80 minutes have been played and the

:02:15. > :02:17.game is in the bag. Can Ulster do something? They will not care as

:02:18. > :02:27.long as they do not concede anything more. Filo Paulo against his old

:02:28. > :02:38.team. He spent most of his time in recent years with the Cardiff Blues.

:02:39. > :02:51.Ambrosini. Wonderful tackle by Rory Scholes. Shanahan steps back and

:02:52. > :02:55.let's it develop. That should be game over and Ulster have after a

:02:56. > :03:01.mediocre opening 40 minutes have put in a decent shift in the second half

:03:02. > :03:06.of this game and they have won this with five points. Five points is

:03:07. > :03:11.essential and also, given it is 6 Nations time, no injuries and Les

:03:12. > :03:24.Kiss and his team will be delighted about that. Job done for Ulster. It

:03:25. > :03:30.is 32-13 to Ulster. Stephen Ferris and Tommy Bowe are with us. An

:03:31. > :03:35.excellent victory. Brilliant. A few more smiles on the faces in the

:03:36. > :03:40.studio. Good second-half performance. Very professional. The

:03:41. > :03:44.boys can be proud of that and will go home happy. How important is

:03:45. > :03:49.patience, just to be patient and the win will come? That showed in the

:03:50. > :03:54.first try. The forwards got into it, we got a rumble on to score a

:03:55. > :04:00.driving maul to show what we were talking about. Back to basics. Put

:04:01. > :04:05.Treviso on the back foot. Excellent start to the second half. You could

:04:06. > :04:10.see that the rest of the players said off it. You said that the

:04:11. > :04:14.Ulster forwards needed to get a stranglehold on the game, that is

:04:15. > :04:18.exactly what they did. They kept it tight, are really good setup, the

:04:19. > :04:23.boys are working extremely hard at the front, they are all working

:04:24. > :04:28.together in unison and Paul is tracking the boys well and they are

:04:29. > :04:35.taking 30 or 40 metres until they get another penalty and as Tommy

:04:36. > :04:39.says, it sets the tone early on. It probably would have been a penalty

:04:40. > :04:43.try if they had not got over because there were so many penalties being

:04:44. > :04:47.conceded but really strong work and set the tone for the rest of the

:04:48. > :04:51.second half. Winning can be all about confidence and when you're in

:04:52. > :04:57.a game and it has been frustrating, how much confidence do something

:04:58. > :05:01.like that give you? It is confidence, momentum, momentum is a

:05:02. > :05:06.huge thing in rugby and you can see in the first half how Treviso were

:05:07. > :05:10.forcing Ulster into mistakes. The momentum was with Treviso and they

:05:11. > :05:15.were feeling confident, second-half, to get a driving maul to set up the

:05:16. > :05:19.try and another to score a try, it changes everything and the players

:05:20. > :05:26.speed off that. Treviso start to string a little bit and I think that

:05:27. > :05:29.the defence, even in the Ulster try, you could see Ulster getting off the

:05:30. > :05:33.line, there was a bit more impetus and excitement and that is the sort

:05:34. > :05:40.of thing, momentum, confidence breeds. As soon as Treviso go down,

:05:41. > :05:44.they have lost the last 25 games, they see the doubt is there and

:05:45. > :05:49.Ulster just got on top of them. Ulster took a vantage with two

:05:50. > :05:54.excellent tries in quick succession. They did, they started to throw the

:05:55. > :05:59.ball better, patience, guys getting around the corner, working hard,

:06:00. > :06:04.Paul is dropping guys off there. Of course, Darren comes out of the

:06:05. > :06:08.rack, works hard, one more phase, straight through the gap and Darren

:06:09. > :06:14.Cave is good at that. It is something we work out so much and in

:06:15. > :06:18.this zone of the pitch, when you come down to the opposition 22, you

:06:19. > :06:21.need points, sometimes it is slow and it looks like you're going

:06:22. > :06:27.nowhere but it takes someone by Clive Ross to get over the line, to

:06:28. > :06:35.get them on the back foot. Then Darren Cave, super line, then him

:06:36. > :06:38.and Paul Marshall work well. Super line by Darren Cave and he was

:06:39. > :06:45.instrumental in the next one with the rushed defence. Rory Scholes

:06:46. > :06:50.picked the ball up and he is on fire, he is scoring a lot of tries,

:06:51. > :06:54.Darren came up in defence, working as a unit, the backline working

:06:55. > :07:06.well, in for another try. The young man impressed.

:07:07. > :07:13.What about Stuart Olding? A dream comeback. We were talking about him

:07:14. > :07:18.maybe putting one of the other lads away, it is wanted to get onto the

:07:19. > :07:22.scoresheet, an opportunity there to give it to Craig Gilroy and he

:07:23. > :07:26.probably would have been walking in. There are two men outside him and he

:07:27. > :07:33.got over the line, got the ball down and another five points. For me, I

:07:34. > :07:37.love watching him when he is playing in the centre. He did a great job

:07:38. > :07:40.and he will be delighted with his own performance. It is a huge

:07:41. > :07:48.confidence builder, coming back from an injury, it is a horrible injury.

:07:49. > :07:52.You have the seeds of doubt in your mind and those times when you're on

:07:53. > :07:56.the physio bed, to come out of your first game, he scored last week for

:07:57. > :08:01.the 18, you could see he was hungry and wanted to get his hands on the

:08:02. > :08:06.ball and he will be delighted. It gives Les Kiss options. He is a very

:08:07. > :08:12.versatile player. This is what he is all about, that little chain, left

:08:13. > :08:18.foot step, he does have pace, he was working hard with strength

:08:19. > :08:26.conditioning staff, he has to turn a pace really good. No stupid 50-50

:08:27. > :08:30.is, get the boys going forward again and that is what I love watching

:08:31. > :08:37.when Stuart Olding is on the pitch. Final thoughts, confidence booster

:08:38. > :08:40.going into busy period. They will be very happy to come away with the

:08:41. > :08:45.win, with five points definitely, there have been a few occasions, the

:08:46. > :08:49.last couple of away games where we have not pulled out a performance in

:08:50. > :08:53.the first half, it is something we look at. We went away to Italy, it

:08:54. > :08:58.is a difficult place to go, got maximum points and we are slowly

:08:59. > :09:02.climbing up the table. Time to turn our attentions to the 6 Nations

:09:03. > :09:13.Championship which kicks off next weekend. These are Aaron and's

:09:14. > :09:16.fixtures. First up, a home game against Wales with those tricky away

:09:17. > :09:19.games followed by Italy and Scotland at home. How confident are you about

:09:20. > :09:25.the chances for Ireland of making it three in a row? Everyone probably

:09:26. > :09:30.wrote them off last year, when Paul O'Connell, sorry Brian O'Driscoll

:09:31. > :09:41.retired, but you are right Ireland off at your peril. I'm expecting a

:09:42. > :09:44.bit of a backlash for England, disappointment, but Joe always seems

:09:45. > :09:48.to get a good squad on the pitch and they work hard for him. They are

:09:49. > :09:56.always there or thereabouts. It must be frustrating for you not been part

:09:57. > :10:00.of it all? Of course. Watching Ulster today, watching the 6 Nations

:10:01. > :10:04.the next couple of months, it is horrible and as a player I'm a

:10:05. > :10:07.terrible spectator. I want to be up there, I want to play and injury, it

:10:08. > :10:14.is a difficult part of the sport. When I get myself back out there

:10:15. > :10:17.which I hopefully will be part of some rugby towards the end of the

:10:18. > :10:22.season, I will be busting to try and get back into the Ulster team. There

:10:23. > :10:26.is a summer tour to look forward to. Hopefully we will be third time 6

:10:27. > :10:33.Nations champions going into that. How do you think I felt about last

:10:34. > :10:38.year? Stephen did you see a debutant straight into the starting line-up?

:10:39. > :10:42.I could. If I was picking the back row, I would deathly have him in

:10:43. > :10:48.there. He has been probably the best back-row forward in Europe. He has

:10:49. > :10:54.single-handedly won Munster games and he is a real test of the

:10:55. > :10:58.breakdown. His ball carrying ability, I love watching him with

:10:59. > :11:03.ball in hand. So abrasive and strong. That is what Ireland are

:11:04. > :11:08.missing. How big a deal is set to make do debut in a 6 Nations

:11:09. > :11:13.gameplaying for your country? I think 6 Nations is the pinnacle of

:11:14. > :11:18.the sport, it is probably in my opinion, the best rugby competition

:11:19. > :11:22.in the world the matches are so tight, the games are nailbiter is.

:11:23. > :11:26.It would be a huge challenge friend to go in there. I think the quality

:11:27. > :11:30.he has shown, he does have the quality, he is an excellent leader,

:11:31. > :11:36.an excellent player, I think if he was one man to go into the Irish

:11:37. > :11:39.team for his first cap, he would relish the opportunity. If Ireland

:11:40. > :11:43.are to win the 6 Nations Championship, name me one player you

:11:44. > :11:48.think needs to have a big Championship? Sean O'Brien. I

:11:49. > :11:52.suppose he will be looking at his own game and thinking he has been

:11:53. > :11:57.quiet over the last year or 18 months. He had his own injury

:11:58. > :12:02.problems. If he plays well, Aaron and usually play well and you talk

:12:03. > :12:09.about ball-carriers, I love watching him. Ball transfer, people do not

:12:10. > :12:17.see this, it is all the silky skills he has. I'm looking forward to see

:12:18. > :12:30.him play against Wales. He reminds us of someone. He is an amazing

:12:31. > :12:33.ball-carrier. Ireland needed to win by a large amount against Scotland.

:12:34. > :12:41.It was going to be tough, but he led from the front and Ireland won the

:12:42. > :12:46.traffic. Thank you very much. Cardiff ten, Edinburgh three is a

:12:47. > :12:50.full-time score. Ulster will move up into a play-off position, they have

:12:51. > :12:58.taken themselves up to fourth in the table after that bonus point victory

:12:59. > :13:06.in Treviso. A great win. Thanks for coming in. Next up for Ulster it is

:13:07. > :13:13.a game against the Dragons in Ulster. You can see that game live

:13:14. > :13:18.next Friday. Join us for that. For now, from all of us here, goodbye.
