Could be between him and Shane Delahunt who's going very well lately, looks like the number 1 hooker in Connacht atm.

Darts are consistent and he's pretty robust around the field.

Is Delahunt a proper hooker or another converted backrow? Actually how many of hookers have always played hooker, it seems to be a position more than any other that players move into. Tom Youngs used to a centre, Tracey a prop, Woody I think was a back.

Where was McPhillips playing when he got on? I'm pretty sure Lilo stayed on.

He didn’t come one I don’t think

Him and McBurney both didnt get on

Delahunt's a converted prop, although he's played hooker since 6th year.

Delahunt was a prop for Leinster underage.

Looks like TOD will be gone for quite a while too. Shines a really bad light on the Ravenhill crowd who appeared to be booing him as he left the field.

That was fairly shit.

Huh I thought Gusher said at one point he was on, was trying to spot him.

The crowd were absolutely horrible.

That's Ravenhill though. Soccer crowd.

Do you do anything other than snipe at other provinces and wank on about tag?

very rarely mention tag and only have a go at certain posters - have you started whinging yet about the ref on sat?

I've had a pop at some of the boo boys in King Ravens.

It's a poor show.

At what point did TOD go off? I don't remember what was happening as he left the field.

Where does it come from though? Its like a stadium filled with the worst groups of drunk plum from the terraces of the other provinces. Makes it difficult to even watch Ulster home games.

I wasn't referring to that incident nor was I at that game.

However 64th Minute when TOD went off.

They hand out leaflets with your posts with the match day programs.
Really gets us going.

Booed Sam Arnold when the camera was on him too. Whatever about the incident, he was one of your own.

Well he's English really.

Sure so are all the planters

He can be a big enough ganch all by himself he doesn’t need you to be his fluffer

And in the process of getting a red card, don't really see the issue with that one.

Try harder.

Ach I really have come to hate the crowd though, find it all thoroughly unpleasant how they can get on (also I'll admit I didn't notice that was Jumper).

Ffs you hate everything

You and me against the world.

That is true, other than my pet favourite players of course.

Some stuff is OTT and there's definitely an element of drunken twats, but since the Payne card a lot of it is panto booing.

For TOD going off I would have thought it was more Whycherly coming back on out of the bin?

Exactly SASP! Trying to bring a bit of civility to the stands!

And what was his crime, not rolling away?

Tod is an Irish international and is injured. Clap him off ffs

why would Wycherly coming back on justify any booing?

Didn't see the game but if he was off for foul play, it's not unusual to see booing when the player returns, especially if the crowd thought it was a red.

He wasn't off for foul play

That was exactly what I thought the booing was for too Earl. And every crowd going gives a returning proud wearer of the yellow ribbon a bit of a doing. TODWASNT the intended recipient.

Nothing in it lads. Rewind the necks.

Panto booing is brought up a lot. Just sounds like a convenient exvuse to brush things under the carpet really.

Personally, I find the booing to be excellent craic.

It happens at all the other provincial grounds as well, we are just better at it.

The worst boo-ing I've experienced was against Connacht earlier this season when Charlie ran into your man and the crowd made an arse of themselves during the penalty kick.
Genuinely embarrassed to be there.

Wasn't at the fateful Sarries match all those years ago, I'd imagine the decibels were through the roof that day.
