Bit like a mallard, looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and walks like a duck...it's still a duck

Ah good point BUT a duck doesn't travel at 126mph!!! Mallard did!

You have me Sir. Upon my sword I must fall. Adieu xx

Oh dear! that's a bit drastic Tykger, I do like a bit of mischief in my postings as life is too short.. I hope I caught you in time too. Wormus.

Geordan in the studio as a pundit.

He and Robshaw together was like watching paint dry.

Fantastic decision by Reynal. Shame about Tuilagi but really don’t know what else Warwick the Ulster player could do.
If anything the collision was caused by Tuilagi running into the contact so upright.

Brilliant performance from Sale. They're gonna be very tough when Fordy is fit.

Also, a comms team of Cotter, Best and Scarratt is A+

Warr and Du Preez doing an excellent job as replacement half backs. It will be interesting to see if they have to change their style slightly when Ford is playing.

Agree about Cotter very entertaining particularly his stories about Rodd and the last time Ulster were nilled

There are going to be some big sides going out of Europe in the group stages. Ulster have got La Rochelle at home next week.

Cracking game at the Stonex. Edinburgh down by 4 with 7 minutes to go. Boffelli kicking like a dream.

Well deserved win for Toulouse at Thomond Park! I’ve already got my ticket for the return match in Toulouse. Next Sunday, Toulouse are at home to Sale who thumped Ulster, and that will be tough.

Ulster were poor Robes. Munster going to struggle to get out of the group stages.

Munster are at Northampton next weekend, and Saints will hopefully be looking to bounce back after their heavy defeat in La Rochelle. Roll on next Saturday for the match against Clermont !!

Fantastic performances from the SA teams (for the most part),so glad they joined!

We are going to be at both games next weekend, anyone got any Munster gear?

Red card. Warwick had time to eat a bacon roll, check his hair then get into a low tackling position. The onus is on the tackler. He stayed upright, head on head…..red card. Unbelievable decision by random Reynal. If we’re trying to stop head injuries and decisions like this are going to be made we may as well not bother.

Sale are going to be difficult to stop once Ford gets into the side.

Have to agree to disagree Warwick tried to wrap the arms was totally passive and Tuilagi runs into him at speed totally upright. I was pleased to see some common sense on the pitch, and if anything Tuilagi should have been penalised. All IMO of course

Red for me too! How long did he have to get in position?! Yes,onus is always on the tackler
