Munster v Ulster

First topic message reminder :

Well what a difference a few days make. Leinster stroll past Munster in Thomond, Ulster cruise past Airioni and now definitely fancy their chances on Sunday and rightly so.

My Munster team if players available would be

1. Wian Du Preez
2. Mike Sheery
3. BJ
4. DOC1
5. POC
6. DR
7. POM
8. Coughlan
9. Murray
10. ROG
11. ZEBO
12. Maifi
13. Earls
14. Hurley
15. Jones

Pretty much picks itself bar hooker and back row. Line out was just so bad that Varley has to pay the price. May not have been all his fault but Sherry has been knocking on the door and deserves a shot at this level.

DOC2 had a solid game but I think the partnership of POC and DOC should stand us well. DR to the back row.

Rodders Ulster team

15 Terblanche
14 Trimble
13 Cave
12 Wallace
11 Gilroy
10 IHumph
9 Pienaar
8 Wannenburg
6 Diack
7 Henry
5 Touhy
4 Muller
3 Afoa
2 Best
1 Court

Ach fart.

Munster back now.

Binnage! Ulster 7, smacked bum for you!

Silly Ulster there, 10 mins in the bin.

Key 10 mins now just before and after HT for Munster. Could change the game this if Munster take advantage.

Its game on now.

4 tries in 5 games for Zebo in the HC. Not too shabby

Ah come on Ulster we haven't won this yet.

...and it looks like Munster are going to try and take full advantage of this binning...

nice kick from piennar

Very clever from Ulster

Ulster may tire in the second half.

Big penalty for ROG

Munster are creeping closer...

10 - 19 HT.

they've been defending for large parts of this game billy, tis possible, but then Munster have lots coming back from injury that could tire too.....it's gonna be a close one I think, especially if ROG gets this.

he does!!

10 - 19 at HT, not bad when you consider what it was! Munster badly needed to get back into this match and they have, great stuff.

It seems the momentum has shifted Munster's way.

Pienaar will pull it through for Ulster though..

They have made double the tackles of Munster dreamer, i can honestly see Ulster tiring, well i hope

Cracking match so far.

'Bloody' great game so far. A true HC encounter.

Rawr! Talk to me Quinny!! I wish he was commentating!

A very important first 10 minutes of the second half for Munster, get points and Ulster may creak, lose points and Ulster will win.

The ability to kick penalties from your own half might be the crucial difference.

Please please please Ulster don't let them back into this. My nerves won't last.

Is there a rugby player that doesnt make you Cari?

Ulster still have 4 mins with 14 men as well.

Pienaar will be kicking against the wind 2nd half tho, no?

Yes he will dreamer

No I don't fancy Quinny, IrishWilliam, only love his voice. His commentary in the world cup was bayoooootiful to listen to

Its more of a breeze not so much a wind

IrishWilliam? Never been called that before

Best 40mins of the weekend so far.

Skill levels good and promising to be tight.

Oh no...that wasn't a good start for either side....

ROG turning the screw and Ulster slowing things down...

What about that tackle?

Another binning for Ulster after Jones was dumped?

Hmmm guess not. Didn't look good though.

my stream froze Billy, what tackle was that?

Indiscipline

Ulster 3 dump tackled Felix Jones a moment ago. Munster got a penalty which ROG missed.

rugbydreamer wrote:my stream froze Billy, what tackle was that?

Felix got hit in what looked to be a tip tackle, judged not though. Did not look good.

Thought terblanche was ko'd there for a second

"Munster can smell Ulster now..."

I would've thought they've been pretty smelly for the last 45 minutes or so...

13 - 19 after a penalty...shuffling closer...

hmmm surprised no action was taken if it looked a tip tackle then, ref's have been pretty harsh on that in the past few weeks (am thinkig if Tipurics yellow the other week)

Oooo such a good game this, gonna be a neeeervy 2nd half for the rest of it now.

Apparently only Munster can knock on?

Cool heads Ulster, don't bugger it up!

I think Afoa can expect a citing there.

No billy Ulster too.

The ball was knocked on first but the tackle did not look good.

Finally, after forward passes and knock ons

Still massive amounts of work to do for Munster here. I cant see Ulster loosing from here.

The Gospel according to St. MAAAARRKKK!!!

Thats a good call but silly from Munster.
