Team for Saturday v Scarlets - Allen's back

[Doghashadhisday]

Great to have AA back but don't under-estimate the as LS pushed Toulon hard last weekend. Any win will do today and is required IMO is we hope to progress. Also looking forward to Ulster v Toulon - fingers crossed on a low scoring draw!

I would prefer it if Ulster won without a bonus point and Toulon get nothing from the game as we will be facing Toulon without our cavalry but they could be back by the time we visit Ulster so the bigger the gap between us and Toulon the better.

I just watched an interview with Williams about playing Scarlets. He comes across as a very level headed bloke, and stated that he is happy with his decision to leave Wales and come and play for us. I am sure he can become a top player with us and like the fact he has youth on his side. Lucky us, unlucky Scarlets for him choosing us!

It's great that he is starting at 10, I think he has good game management and also a cannon in his boot (Goode esq) to get us put of defence into attack.

Actually I like the look of that team, it looks solid at the back and I'm glad that Owen has been given a chance to fill the No.10 shirt. I'm still unsure about Crane's form this season I would have preferred Barbieri at number 8, but all in all this team shoukld be good enough to win if they play at the top of their form. I'm glad to see Anthony Allen back we have missed his defensiver qualities.

In line with every other poster: it's great to have Ant back and Williams kicking. Burns and Mele on the bench gives us loads of options now Williams has had some exposure at inside centre.
Does anyone know what is happening with Hepetema?

[Darc Tiger]

I expect we will see Hepetema next week. He has been training with DMU apparently.

Toulon 4 points Ulster 0 (23-13).

Will take Toulon result, Ulster gone and nothing to play for in Round 6 . Any win tonight will set us up.

What a mistake from Benjamin, although as Austin said everybody gets one

[ourla]

Doing our best to lose this.
Allen, Benjamin errors and now Williams is kicking out on the full!

[kpj tiger]

We just need to calm our nerves, we looked in complete control at the start!

[kpj tiger]

I hate to say it but it looks like we aren't giving Scarlets the respect they deserve, it looks like our players are surprised by the fact Scarlets are fighting it out

[ourla]

If they had a kicker (Williams) they would be out of sight.

[kpj tiger]

Aimless kicking is hurting us, if we keep ball in hand and run hard we can out muscle them as we proved in the first 20 mins

[cpwhelan]

How many more stupid mistakes? Did we become over-confident by such a good start? As mentioned earlier, if they had a kicker they'd be out of sight - another one wasted.

Dreadful, brainless, we are def trying to give them the match, hope its a good half time talking to they get, just got to up the intensity, what was Scully doing, Tait dropping ball at the line, get a grip fellas or we are not going to win this!
