Record-breaking Ulster demolish sorry Zebre

Ulster set a new club record for points scored in a Pro12 fixture, running in 10 tries in their 68-21 thrashing of Zebre on Saturday.

Victory moves Ulster back into the top four, four points clear of fifth-placed Scarlets with five rounds of the regular season remaining.

After Luke Marshall’s early opener for the hosts at Kingspan Stadium, Zebre briefly levelled through Andre De Marchi, but that was as good as it got for the bottom club, who have just one win to their name this season.

Marshall soon went in for a second and Ruan Pienaar, Charles Piutau and Jacob Stockdale all crossed before half-time.

Craig Gilroy, Piutau, John Andrew, Stuart Olding and Paul Marshall touched down in the second period as Zebre’s defence was repeatedly carved open.

68 – @UlsterRugby‘s 68 points against Zebre is their highest points tally in a @PRO12rugby match. Floodgates.

Yes, I think Rennie’s success is in part due to a group of players coming into excellent form this year. Players like Holland and Love. Can’t honestly say that of Roigard, as he was very good last yuear too.

All Blacks turn to fresh bodies with seven changes for Springboks finale

I was perplexed when I saw your comment in my gmail first, GVF, but coming to the actual comments section of the article, and reading d’s comment below, I assume now you misunderstood my comment.

And I do realise how much support there is for the game from the black/coloured population. One only has to look at crowd shots at any game anywhere the Boks play to realise that. And ofc the upsurge in black coloured people now playing the game is plain for all to see. I count it as a major reason why the Springboks will remain right at the top in the game for the foreseeable future.

Rennie’s “early success as a coach” can be summed up as “pick the SR winning Canes combo and let them do their thing”. I’m still waiting for the rest.

Totally agree JNZ. I think he is a generational player that if developed properly could be up their with the likes of Kaino, Ardie, and Wiese. He does not quite fit any of their moulds - but has his own special X factor. Like any potentially great player he needs the opportunity to show what he has got. Ardie, Kaino and Wiese all got that opportunity.

The actual numbers tell a story of the impact Sititi had - 70 carry metres - second only to Will Jordan. Lakai 24m. Lakai made 9 tackles of 80 minutes, Wallace 5 over 50.

I was responding to the suggestion that Lakai is playing much better than Sititi. I dont think that is a totally fair characterisation generally or in relation to the third test in particular. Wallace ran 70 carry metres to Lakai’s 24 and tackled 5 to Lakai’s 9 - over 50 minutes to Lakai’s 80. I have had look more broadly and Wallace’s carries / minute and tackles / minute in the NC edged Lakai’s while Lakai edged Wallace in the SA Club games. So a tight contest on the recent stats. I accept though as you say Lakai brings a different game which he is stellar at - out wide and he plays a much better fetcher role too - and we cannot get too tied up in the stats. But the eyes tell me that Wallace did a great job in the third test too.

'It's been tough for Beauden': Dave Rennie explains All Blacks' No.10 switch

No, the attack fell apart because both the All Blacks forwards and backs lost their dominant ball carriers, and Jacobson, along with not being a talismanic figure within the team, injured himself.

The All Blacks backs selections have been far too much about covering all bases rather than thinking about opportunities to impact a game

'It's been tough for Beauden': Dave Rennie explains All Blacks' No.10 switch

The thought of keeping four tens, three of whom can cover 15 in the Bledisloe squad is mind bending and then still having two wingers who can cover 15 is a bit of overkill. The certainly won’t run out of full backs.
