Irish winger Jacob Stockdale completed a double in his side’s win over Racing in emphatic fashion, scoring a stunning try in a similar fashion to his ‘Stock-chip’ against the All Blacks.

Ulster came out with a fast pace, scoring the first two tries to take an early 13-0 lead. Racing worked their way back into the match through tries to Viri Vakatawa and Simon Zebo to reduce the gap to 16-10.

Early in the second half, Ulster used a switch play on a midfield scrum to get Stockdale a one-on-one opportunity. He beat the first man to the outside before streaking away down the touchline. With the fullback closing, Stockdale chipped over the top back in-field where a handful of Racing defenders looked to have it covered.

A wicked bounce fell into the lap of Stockdale surrounded by swathes of Racing defenders, who was to close to the try line to stop.

Jacob Stockdale HAD NO RIGHT to score from there! ?
Shrugs the defender off…
Chips a beauty through…
Beats 3 defenders to the ball…
On a different level ?

Stockdale’s double propelled Ulster to a tight 26-22 win, after a tense final period where Racing missed opportunities to score, which kept Ulster’s hopes a finals qualification alive.

Ulster remain in second place in the Pool, three competition points behind Racing despite having the same win-loss record. In an all-Irish sweep, Munster claimed a big win over Gloucester while Leinster beat Toulouse. Both sides now sit atop their respective pools in control of their destiny.

Forget Ireland, the All Blacks face the real alpha of Europe next

As I said, a good player doesn't mean a good person. That is a very good example of why he is a great player, but not a GOAT and why he never will be. Rugby is a team sport, not an individual sport. If he thinks he can beat the AB's on his own, the French is in for a massive hiding. Especially if there is sour grapes in the team, because they won't play as one unit, but rather like seperate pieces. Instead of passing, they will go it alone and the AB's will destroy them. The real joke of this whole article is calling the French the real Alpha of the North.

Scott Robertson explains the new halves pairing for the All Blacks ahead of France

Taylor must have passed the medical and trained well enough for Jason to start him.

The replays of him staggering and stumbling over didn't look good for mine and had the similarity to a punch drunk pugilist in need of more time to fully recover.

Anyways if he can play as good as he normally does for as long as he can, Aumua and co. will definitely get the All Blacks over the line.

Cam and Damian also showed how in sync they are leading up Aumua's try assist pass to Jordan where Beauden would have gone kick pass and most likely stuffed it up.

Go the All Blacks...Wallace Sititi to score a try for Sammy...onwards and upwards...

Springboks make 12 changes and move away from 7/1 bench split

The reason Rassie went 5/3 split. We want the ball. He is anticipating exactly those tactics. The reason for the players he chose for the backline. Fast, elusive and extremely dangerous. This will be an expansive game. Mark my words. Rassie is very clever. At least that's my assessment of the game. Borthwick isn't clever enough to pick up on that and most likely will go with the same tactics as the semi finals. If you noticed, this year the Boks tried to keep a hold of the ball and tried to run from anywhere on the field. You got to have the ball to score. The Boks box kicking is great and they know how to play the areal game if they need to. By switching to expansive tactics, they will give the Boks exactly what they want. Defending the whole time will always make you more tired than attacking. Besides, the team without the ball mostly gets penalized as they tend to struggle to stay onside. That is my opinion of the game play against the English that Rassie have in mind. Of course, trying to read Rassie is impossible and I may have the cat by the tail.

And now we hear the news that Matthieu Jalibert is refusing to be on the bench.

Thomas Ramos from Duponts club shifted to first five from fullback, clearly to prevent Matthieu Jalibert from making the ten position his own in the absence of Duponts other club mate Romain Ntamack.

This isn't good captaincy by Dupont, it will create division within the squad and will prevent world cup success.

It was clear at the world cup that Dupont wasn't trying to coordinate with Matthieu and it's now clear Dupont wields too much power within the team.
