These opening Pro12 clashes will be won mostly by teams who suffer least from RWC call-ups and get the most out of their upcoming talent. Ulster were well on top in both areas here, with Trimble, Gilroy and Tuohy providing the experience plus Nelson and particularly McCloskey showing the promise. If they continue to play like this and can iron out some scrum issues the Ulstermen will have yet more try bonus point wins before the Bowes and Hendersons return.
