It was a good kick to put them under pressure in their corner, but hands was on. Big time.

McCann with a big burst and great step, another cock up in the 22 though when we should have walked in on the outside.

Some positives for Ulster
Lots of local lads

Rea had a good game
Milasinovich has a bit about him

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I'll say one thing, his boerwoers are very very nice

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Fair play to Matty Rea.
I said on here a few weeks ago that I thought he was military medium. Great showing from him tonight.
Hume and Moore look good going forward but looked a bit weak in defence.
Thought David O’Connor looked promising when he came on, never really took much notice of him before but was very lively.
Some nice touches from McCann.
Stockdale looked a lot better ball in hand but his defence is still awful.
Yer man Milso-whatshisface is a mountain of a man. He’s probably the same weight as Marty but muscle instead of lard.

Before the injury last year he was apparently smashing all sorts of strength records in the gym and he's clearly spent the ACL injury getting even more huge.

More than any position it needs game time at the top level.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I didn't see the first 20, so can only comment on the second half.
Thought he was poor in attack.
Several chances for him to have a crack at that chip 'n' chase he was so lethal at back in 2018 but he refused to try it.
As a defender, I don't fear him right now.
Would be more concerned about Gilroy or Lyttle running with the ball.
Lowry, like the kid but his first up tackle was getting brushed aside too easily.
And I hate, hate, HATE our fecking soak tackle, or grab around the shoulders and get dragged 10m upfield gameplan.
Have players simply forgotten how to tackle round the legs and get players on the ground quickly?
If the new style of ruck laws demand defender gets on the ball immediately or else, then I want players to can make leg-wrap tackles in the open field.
Anyway, glad we won otherwise I'd really be pissed

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Good blow out for Leinster, left a few tries behind them.
I thought that Ruddock was immense, and obv. thought he should have played against Sarries; Ringer and Kelleher were also both good.
Hard to judge as the Dragons weren't up to Leinster.

Watch Ulster here...fúck they're soft
Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Ah at least he wasn’t dropping balls and getting turned over like a spacker like in Toulouse. He was generally making yards and getting offloads away, and did very well for Moore’s try. Still a million miles away from his 2018 form though. His kicking wasn’t great and he just can’t be arsed tackling. He is definitely not a 15.Yer Man wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 11:07 pmI didn't see the first 20, so can only comment on the second half.

Didn’t see too much to be inspired by Gilroy. I’d either try him at 15 next week or drop him for one of the academy lads.
Agree on Lowry. He has no hope against a powerful centre partnership. The Lowry Moore Hume defensive axis leaked far too many yards for my liking.
It was nice to see our lineout working well for most of the game. Went to shit a bit when McBurney came on and started chucking pies though.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Gilroy's rush defence in the first half stopped a couple of clear cut opportunities and forced an error too.
He looked slow when he got the ball with a chance to run though.
