Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

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.

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.

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.
