I must admit I wallowed in the misery of the fan forums after Saints got well beaten at Welford Road and entertained the 'wisdom' of the mob for a few days.
It was a bit like slaking my thirst with...
If Saints had more wins behind them this would have felt closer than it did. Ulster got a good start but Saints ducked and dived their way back into it.
It even looked like we had survived the sin binning...
