Call me old, but a chilled Sunday afternoon with family watching Songs of Praise is right up there with the best!

All things considered - it was a first half to be proud of for the young guns. Munsters experience on show for all to see in the second half. Disappointing not to leave with anything but they gave the first half everything.

Huge effort put in by Ulster, and they were the better side for a lot of the first half but they just ran out of steam in the second half. For an inexperienced, young team who lost more players during the game, they've put in a commendable performance. #MUNvULS #SUAF

@NicknameisBush That’s totally fair, I only saw a reply from the a side eye in fairness as I was sorting the kiddos dinner inbetween 🤣 I think it’s shaping up a much better game than any of us Ulster fans expected from our young lads. Either way excited for the second half! ☺️

@Chloe_D1997_ See I thought the same and had actually composed a tweet saying just that before the replay. His hand slaps the ball while his other hand doesn't move. If he was jackling both hands would come down together. I think it was pen only and munster was just a knock on.

Incredibly harsh yellow there when it wasn’t given the other way around… #MUNvULS

Fair play to this Ulster side. Really holding up against a very strong Munster squad. Performing much better than anyone would've given them credit for before the game.

@NicknameisBush I’m afraid we’ll have to agree to disagree here. I think the Ulster slap was accidental on the way down to jackal but still a knock on however nothing cynical in it but just my opinion and clearly the ref disagreed. I think either both should be yellow or neither.

@Chloe_D1997_ The munster one was in the tackle. He didn't deliberately knock it on. Ulster player slaps it down on his way to jackal. But he slaps it clearly on replay which is cynical and yes there was linebreak, half the ulster team were out of defensive line.

@NicknameisBush How so? Both were deliberate knock ons surely? Munster held no line break benefit, Ulsters did. Yet one’s a penalty only and the other a yellow and a penalty.

@Chloe_D1997_ Totally different things. But not a yellow. Penalty only.

Hometown decision for that yellow card. Very harsh. Casey with a forward pop pass in the buildup too. #MUNvULS

@FogartyJack Completely disagree - he was so rough. He pinged Ulster on absolutely everything all night and let Leinster away with the exact same things all night long. Called advantage over then when they dropped the ball pulled it back for it. It was infuriating in the stadium.

Also a word on Andy Brace. Super ref, got the big calls right and spoke really clearly, especially to Hendy when he was all over the place😂

FT AND THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS! 🙌

Compared to the 2026 Men’s Six Nations, Ireland’s ☘️ attack improved by: Tries: 18% ⬆️ Top try involvements: Stuart McCloskey Defenders beaten: 48% ⬆️ Top defender beater: Stuart McCloskey Offloads: 80% ⬆️ Top offloader: Stuart McCloskey

Genuinely delighted and nothing more than deserved based on Ulsters form.

The Irish system has functioned the best it has in a long time today, and Jack Crowley deserves a lot of credit for that. He also hasn’t tried to take too much on himself, which is incredibly commendable. Very mature performance from him.

Beirne, McCloskey and Baloucoune all right up there for man of the match for me, an unbelievable match #ENGvIRE

All the talk pre-game about Ireland and we held our own concerns but this England fall off is monumental, many of us expected a major kick back off the Scotland loss. #ENGvIRE

Can’t wrap my head around no Izzy and TOB has done what to deserve a place? Saturday will prove very interesting, if England show up (unlike vs Scotland) and we keep playing how we have so far this 6N it’s not going to be fun.

Ireland would’ve been absolutely screwed today if it wasn’t for the displays from the 3 Ulster lads in the team Comfortably the best players on the pitch for Ireland Who would’ve thought picking players that don’t play for Leinster might’ve worked out positively 🤔🤔🤔 #IREvITA

Three points in the bag! 💼✅

@offtheball Stu the only player who could hold his head up after that defeat, and yet “let’s move Crowley to 12 to accommodate Prendergast” wild opinions. The boys got bags of talent but he’s very clearly not ready yet, why keep forcing it to Irelands detriment?

OPINION: Ireland should play 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗛 Sam Prendergast and Jack Crowley at the same time. ☘️🏉 "I think the time is now." Off The Ball Breakfast LIVE from 7:30am ⏰ #irishrugby #SixNations

@RugbyPass Absolutely hilarious, Stockdale had a poor game but outplayed O’Brien on the opposite wing (proven by the fact he wasn’t the player subbed 🫣) yet he’s the target as per always! 🎯

RATINGS: A high of 6.5 here for Ireland, with plenty of 4s and 5s from a predictably tough night out in Paris🧑‍💼 #FRAvIRE | #GuinnessM6N rugbypass.com/news/ireland-p…
