The article on the main page says today was the first time ever that Beirne and Snyman have started together in the second row.

Is that right?

diarm

Hopefully we can back that up against Lions next week. They're playing good rugby lately and it will be just as tough as the Bulls today, but thankfully it should be a good 8-10 degrees cooler while we're playing (5pm kick off) than it was for Leinster earlier.

Our record against South African sides since they joined the URC is P12, W9, D1, L2 with 7 try bonus points and 2 losing bonus points. In a period where we've been far from the finished article, that's a record to be proud of. Apparently our 8th straight win against South African sides. 8th game wi...

Red card cost the bulls dearly. Very frustrating. Good game otherwise. The mental thing is that it isn't the occasional head clash that is causing long term injuries. It's the continuous knocks in tackles and at rucks etc. Just that the head clash is so evident. They really have to sort out how to ...

Hell of a win for us. I'm still not sure that was a red card and I'm even less sure that we win that game without it, but having been on the wrong end of a few this season, we'll fecking take it.

The Munster players seem to learn a lot from their football compatriots, continue to shout at the ref and question every decision even during active play. What nonsense. The South African sides have added so much to the URC, and the craic between fans has been great after years of listening to Wels...

Hodnett loves a good try down in South Africa. Shame we won't see him get the chance to show it over the summer.

diarm

Oof.

At no point of that whole review until right at the end of it, did I think they were going to arrive at red card.

He's upright and they've clashed heads, but Casey is 3ft6 to be fair.

I'd bring on Jager and Hodnett as well.

diarm

Who? Made that tackle?

diarm

He was some chancer hid behind the old “my dad is from Munster” line. Flounced off the board once Munster stopped winning of course To be fair, my young fella was born in Dublin and while I'll happily see him avail of the school system up here, if he's good enough it'll be a Munster academy contrac...

One of my fondest memories of 09 was bumping into a friend on the way to the match and he was proudly wearing his Munster jersey (Clongowes lad, born and bred in Dublin. Statto knows who I'm talking about) and he was all full of it about how My syer were going to win and was I ready for a thorough ...

Remember then Munster lads streaming out with 10 mins to go. To the brave and faithful, beating the traffic is possible There were lads leaving alright, and plenty of us giving them an earful for it too. But I was in the south terrace of old Lansdowne in 2006, and there wasn't a blue jersey left in...

I was upper Hogan stand on 22. After black Sunday, it was one of the most satisfying wins. Munster have never really recovered from it.

He’s pish. :lol: Absolute comedy gold considering the unholy pissy fitting of the preceding few pages! When Munster signed an Ulster graduate they got an Irish international centre in Chris Farrell. We got Jake Flannery. Considering many of your best players come from Leinster, then I wouldn’t be p...

Funny sort of a game. Ulster should've won the first half by another 10 points, but then Stormers should've won the second by even more too.

Sheridan, Timoney, McCann, Doak and McCloskey were all good for Ulster.

diarm

You know it's not your day when front rows are kicking 50-22's.

diarm

A draw here would be a nice result for Munster.

diarm

This ref is absolutely horrific.

diarm

Really impressed with Ulster so far. Murphy making his mark already.

Timoney has been outstanding.

diarm

Does dangerous play not overrule a not straight throw?

diarm

Ulster should look to get the ball into Sheridans hands more. A lot of ball going through Treadwell and he's getting smashed every time.

Some shocking place kicking on display so far.

diarm

1. Joost
2. FdP
3. Smith

For me. At least until Dupont wins one.

diarm

Lowry off. Poor lad can't catch a break.

Wtf is Baloucoune doing on that cross field kick though.

Literally the last 60 seconds worth of thoughts straight out my head!

Ulster have played some nice rugby so far. Looked the better team.

diarm

Good job nobody got injured in that last passage. Or I think Dan Sheehan might have decked the ref.

diarm

Get away out of that. Byrne has dived backwards after Arendse has committed to the kick.

diarm

Conan had his weetabix this morning!

diarm

. To be fair, his eyes were wide open when Snyman signed back on the second time! RG staying at munster for 2 more seasons :shock: Salanoa got a 3 year deal too. First response: Money bags Munster as per usual. Throwing money down the drain on sicknotes and keeping Zebo in kebab money :thumbdown:

He'd be ahead of Kendellen as back up. But he's not starting at 7 ahead of Hodnett.

diarm

I like Deegan, always have. But Munster have Ahern/Beirne, POM, Quinn, Coombes, Gleeson, O'Sullivan, O'Donoghue and Okeke for 6 and 8. He's not needed down here.

He'd be a truly excellent signing for Ulster. For being so sound about it, Ulster can send us down Scott Wilson instead.

Good weekend for Stormers and Munster, with Ulster, Connacht, Edinburgh and Benetton all dropping points. If Cardiff could've held on against Glasgow it would've been a perfect weekend. Ditto Lions. They played themselves back into the play offs. Sharks also jumped from the bottom. If they keep it ...

It will be interesting to see what happens to the Ulster squad if Murphy gets the gig full time. There will be plenty of talented young lads with fond memories of playing for his u20 sides over the past 5 years, who might be looking at internationals and established first teamers ahead of them at t...
