Has 1 year left. I thought it was a kiwi they were getting....

Pyrgos to Edinburgh would make sense next year assuming they boot Fowles (Or Kennedy).

He's shite. The fact he's slightly less shite than what is there is no consolation.

*shite is harsh but still. Edinburgh seem to get lumbered with rejects from Glasgow.

The game is on BBC NI tomorrow. Is it just a case of changing region on iplayer to watch it?

You will probably get a link to it through the BBC sport website. Alternatively it might be on the red button. If you have sky it's on channel 972

Harsh on Ritchie to be out of the team entirely. He's been one of our better he games that I've seen this season. Surprised to see Harries back too.

Aye, what Baz said. If you are running it from an app on a console or something, you can just change the region from the settings.

Who's the TMO? Glad Nigel was strong enough to put him straight.

Jebus, Ulster are so unlucky with injuries. They’ve had what, 3 in this game, including the stand off.

Embra’s ball is soooooooo fucking slow this half. SHC taking an age now. Clearly team orders, but by fuck, It’s extremely frustrating to watch.

9 had completed that tackle? He was curled up in a ball 2 yards away. Not sure about that one.

Amazing result for Edinburgh and fair f*cks to Duncan Weir. I cringed when Fowles shovelled that ball on. Awful speed, awful pass and had Ulster defenders breathing down his neck.

Easy to say it was the right decision in hindsight but 99 times out of 100 you'd clean that up a bit more, get the platform, let Weir get position, etc.

Either way, congrats. Should give the team a lot of confidence going into the final few games.

Great result, and nice that Weir sealed the points.

Hopefully they can repeat the trick back in Auld Reekie.

Have to feel some sympathy for the Ulster support, they put so much effort into refereeing that game.
