Sharks v Ulster: What We Learned

Click here to listen

Ulster may have turned a corner in their season with a bonus point win in South Africa in their rescheduled game against the Sharks. The score in the end was 31-24.

Granted, both sides were without certain key internationals and Sharks were missing a load of big names but credit where credit’s due for Ulster.

Two maul tries from Tom Stewart laid the foundation for the win. Stewart Moore scored a sneaky, opportunistic try and Harry Sheridan - who is quickly becoming a fan favourite – powered his way over to give Ulster the bonus point.

Supporting Ulster this season has been a rollercoaster ride even more than usual. We have discussed at various points whether Ulster are on the edge of a precipice or whether they are back on track…

Truthfully, it’s difficult to know but as, we have talked about before, we have been consistent in our inconsistency. We can beat anyone on our day which suggests a talented side sometimes lacking in confidence or feeling under-prepared?

Anyway, full credit to Ulster for getting the win on Saturday.

As I often say on this podcast, the game at the weekend poses more questions than it answered which means there is plenty to discuss.

To help make sense of Ulster’s season so far, I’m joined by Jack Fogarty, Caolan Scully and Iestyn Thomas.
