You mean Dave Rennie?

I do

Interesting.

And makes a lot more sense, was confused as to what you were getting at. Could be a good fit if he's not trying to bring any extra staff.

From a Leinster POV, it would be preferable for them alright to move O'Sullivan ahead of McCarthy, but I reckon Nucifora has set a rule whereby players moving between provinces can't be punished for such moves, as it potentially stifles the development of a future international (not talking specifically of McCarthy here, i have no idea if he'll be anywhere near international quality)

That sounds like a load of bollocks to me.

Mccarthy will be a decent Pro 14 player, average European player and not good enough to be an international. He will be step up on Drunken/Hart but won't reach ABIs current levels. Fine pass, average kicking game and break (very slight).

Fantastic to see Murray back. Crucial for us at the business end of the season

Chris Farrells return has been kept quiet, so good to see him back.

Anyone know if Ewan McKenna did a write up about this weeks most important match?
The RWC repechege between Kenya and Germany that’s on now, I’d love his take on it.

He did a podcast this week "rugby perspective" Ewan McKenna V Ruaidhri O'Connor but I haven't listened to it, you can find it on Rugby on off theball.

Pointless listening to someone so disingenuous.
Imagine having such low self respect you chose a career move like his.

Anyone have any reports on Hugo Keenan as a player?

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 7:29 pm**

I'd be surprised to see any sort of decent crowd in the RDS tonight. Seems like an eternity since the last match there.
10k would be optimistic I reckon.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 7:34 pm**

Is the game tomorrow really a sellout? That's remarkable.

Ulster doing simple line handling drills on camera as it pans away for an ad break in the build up, basic stuff, easy for pros. Warwick drops it.

Lowe complaining about house prices and rent in Dublin

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:30 pm**

Where are you watching that? Not on rugbai beo. They’ve improved their coverage a bit. I wonder what they’re paying Lowe - presumably a lot.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:30 pm**

Now we have an add from the Scarlets on in the last adbreak before kick off. Advertising tickets at tonight's match

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:33 pm**

About 500 people in the Parc y Scarlets.

Maybe a bit put off because they play the same opposition next week.

And the week after.

Fúcking farcical fixtures.

“Is the international window a good time to blood new players” Bog4 really need some new interviewers

Probably has little to do with that. The RDS will still have a good crowd tonight because they’ve a good marketing team who have made it into a family event for the middle classes of Dublin.

Lowry kicking to touch for Ulster.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:42 pm**

Shanahan is absolutely shite. No pressure at all, not even close to keeping it in play.

Supporting lines and a passable pass are the only things going for him.

It's not a passable pass. 2 lineouts off the top and the defence have reached Burns at the same time as the pass.

Referee not arsed with the 3 Scarlets players on the Ulster side of the maul.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:46 pm**

Our defence is very narrow, not ideal against the Scarlets.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:48 pm**

Laughably bad defending by the O’s - cut open by a second row

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:49 pm**

He's still shite, even if he's good at running tries in.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:50 pm**

That was great defence and then great attack from Leinster.

Only thing he's got. God help us if this is what the Ulster system decided was the best we could get in terms of scrumhalves.

Still say there's better junior players.

He's lively, but still making positive contributions. He's not just running about doing nothing.

Worrying scrum against the head earlier, though.

And another shaming at the scrum.

They've no lineout, we've no scrum.

Bent and Dooley should be able to lock out a scrum
