Very little invention or attacking play

Good enough to ground out wins over Wales, the jocks and the Italians
England will beat us up
France will run round us

Summed up in a nutshell.

Goodfellas being on tv might have been the only thing that could've cheered me up after that.

diarm

I can't describe how upset I am with that. Sickened.

diarm

Just goes to show how crucial that penalty miss was from JJ. Going asleep and assuming they'd just kick the ball off just before half time as well. Not to mention fecking away 3 lineouts deep in their territory in the first 20 minutes. Shows the difference between the sides. Leinster find ways to w...

diarm

Our loose forwards and Murray have put in a performance that deserves to be winning by 20 points.

Against a lesser side they would be. Even on a poor night by their standards they are so bloody hard to beat.

diarm

Kevin O'Byrne, the only man south of the border who can throw into a lineout sat at home scratching his hole.

diarm

Jesus christ but we're an infuriating side to support. It was easier when we were just shite - but this doing 75% of stuff really well and 25% brutal is painful.

diarm

Unbelievable from Murray!

diarm

In how many games this season are we our own worst enemy?

Leinster are good enough on their own without us giving them favours every 10 minutes.

He's been looking much sharper for a few months now to be fair to him. Ideal 9 for conditions like tonight.

Time for JJ's weekly hook please.

diarm

Jesus Larmour loves running ball on the Thomond Park field. We can never keep a hold of the fecker.

diarm

Picking Marshall ahead of KOB fecked away all our momentum when we were on top. Let the foot off their throat and now we're being punished for it.

diarm

Would be hopeful we put out our strongest team possible on Saturday. Killer Scannell, or Marshall Ryan Kleyn Beirne CJ Pom Coombes. Murray JJ or Healy Earls DDA Farrell Daly Haley. KOB Whycherly Archer/ Knox Whycherly JoD Casey Healy/JJ Conway ( seems to be back training). Solid team - although on ...

It’s reflective of the wider view in the media that there is absolutely no 10 who possibly might replace Sexton and it’s pointless trying them. But just in case anybody might think about it, they aren’t experienced enough. :lol: I don't think people are of the view that others shouldn't be tried. M...

Good. I’ve happy memories of summer days spent at my mate’s family’s holiday home in Rosslare in the 80s, and I just wanted to be sure that things there have moved with the times. Thinly disguised it was our family's palatial holiday home but I don't want other posters to feel they had a rotten chi...

diarm

:P And JJ missed touch. Again. At this stage I blame Van Graan, O'Mahony and Stander more than I do JJ. Van Graan hasn't punished him for it so there's no reason for him to concentrate on it. The on field leaders should be leaving such a fear in him that he wouldn't dare miss another one. He's a mo...

And JJ missed touch. Again. At this stage I blame Van Graan, O'Mahony and Stander more than I do JJ who just clearly isn't bothered with working on it.

Not sure how we've managed to win a game that we should've had sewn up with half an hour to go. Stander, Beirne, Murray, De Allende and Haley were decent but not a great performance at all. I feel like we were building nicely before Christmas but seem to have gone off the boil a little since for wha...

diarm

That move off the set piece was a thing of beauty. Deserved a try after. :roll: Munster didn't even get a linebreak out if it. De allende would have made more ground if he kept ball in hand during that move I reckon. Didn't even get a line break... despite Earls quite clearly breaking the line and ...

Asian rugby could be decent.

Perhaps we might see Asian sides given more opportunities now with the South Africans looking to Europe.

diarm

It's pretty popular. There are loads of young workers from Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa down there so plenty of lads playing. More and more locals getting involved as well. When they were picking an Asian side for the Super 14, it came down to a choice between a Singapor...

Did I read something recently that he’s in Singapore? Still playing rugby I think. I pity the poor kunts coming up against him. Is he still playing? I know he's working for some shipping firm, despite the fact he is/was a header he's clearly smart and has a 1st in Chemical Engineering at Queens to ...

diarm

Healy is solid, a very good kicker and an excellent defender. He may never have the x factor that Crowley might bring but if they both develop the way we hope, we could end up with an excellent set of options on our hands. One for opening up sides and another for seeing out tough games or in tough c...

diarm

Poor loss that. You'd obviously forgive the lads for lacking cohesion having been thrown together en masse, but that's an Ulster side and performance we'd expect to be beating well.

diarm

Do you know one thing Hollywood got right about booze? Cool dudes don't keep the f*cking box. Ever. From Carey Grant to James Bond, George Clooney..... none of them have ever had to crack a box to get to an opened bottle of piss. Gentlemen and non-freaks don't keep the box. It's ridiculous to keep ...

I've no arguments with those lineout calls, but where was he looking in the first half when there was half the wind and Ulster threw 3 worse ones? They didn't though, they were marginal, hence Dillane getting near them, Connacht's have led to the jumper leaning towards to their own line to try and ...

I know they ended up giving away a penalty there but Jordi Murphy has had an excellent second half so far.

diarm

Hilarious.

diarm

That's a fine try.

Probably the refs fault.....

How witty.

Connacht have come out with tits for hands after half time.

;) Blade is a tasty scrumhalf He's been excellent. Connacht front row have been well on top as well. Couple of poor mistakes from Oliver and a ref who looks out of his depth saving Ulster from a hiding at the moment. How so? He correctly carded McCall but didn't give a PT as it didn't move forward ...

:lol: Yeah De Allande and Snyman grew up dreaming of playing at Thomond Park :lol: Probably no more than Jim Williams, Dougie Howlett, Christian Cullen or Jean de Villiers did. But they all grew up knowing where Thomond Park was and what it was about. I'd say there are experienced rugby fans in Fra...

By the way lets not pretend any young players in the SH dream of playing for any of the provinces. They don’t watch NH rugby down under. I highly doubt they talk of the great Munster or Ulster teams of the 70s or 80s, like the way as a young lad I didn’t dream of playing for Queensland or Bay of Pl...
