Irish Times journalist and honorary Ulsterman, Nathan Johns and I conduct the post-mortem of Ulster's chances of silverware this season.

Despite the initial disappointment, a couple of days have provided perspective. Ulster were tantalisingly close to a home final and the gut-wrenching feeling when they let their 5-point lead slip is made somewhat easier to take when you look at the future potential of this team.

We discuss the heroic effort and the coaching decisions that may have ultimately contributed to our downfall.

By the way, we forgot to give enough credit to the Stormers who, in the end, deserved the win. That hurt to say but it's true.

Enjoy the listen.
