Ulster v Treviso Match thread 23rd November 2012

First topic message reminder :

FORWARDS (14)
Herring, Brady, Black, Fitzpatrick, Court, Afoa, McComb, Simpson, Diack, Joyce, McComish, Birch, Wilson, Williams.

BACKS (10)
Heaney, McIlroy, O’Connor, Olding, Wallace, Payne, Allen, Cochrane, Andrew, Nelson.

Adam D'arcy is again a notable absentee yet again. This really is mind boggling considering the performance last week. Ricky Andrew is very far off the pace. And our back three in general were very inexperienced. As I mentioned before, D'Arcy is definitely in full training. Yet Anscombe seems to have him at the very bottom of the pile. Headscratch

Like watching 2 bald men fighting over a comb!

We used to have a song about Inst in Wallace, but in the interests in decency I won't share it.

We used to have a song about all of them in Cookstown but in the interests of unity and this boards high moral standard I shall keep that to myself lol

I have it on reasonable authority that D'Arcy is well down the pecking order at Ulster. It seems his face just isn't fitting in the present set up.

Pity if that is true. Like most on here I like D'Arcy and what he brought to the team particularly the year before last.
On the other hand it will give young guys like Nelson and Andrews some confidence going forward that they are to be trusted within the set up.

by **Notch** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 3:51 pm

To be honest, I think that D'Arcy is the second best fullback in the squad but that Peter Nelson is a major, major talent in that position who could be very good indeed. Jury is still out on Andrew for me but I would much rather see Nelson getting gametime at this stage.

GUYS, MATCH IS ON AT 6PM NOT 7PM

I only just realised this. I'm sure I'm not the only one didnt realise!

I know there is a hugh difference between "qualified" and "adequate" though.

Treviso starting hooker Sbaraglini is a former loosehead, apparently this must be "adequate" Headscratch

We will see how Adequate when he hits the Ulster front row in about 20 mins lol

Ulster just had a TMO against them. 5M Scrum Sore still 0 7.

by Jenifer McLadyboy Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:28 pm

Noc peno 7 3

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:28 pm

Take the scrum! Smile

7-3 to Treviso exile....

by humphstheman Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:29 pm

to the game.

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:30 pm

Ulster 7 down at the mo. Ulsrer just went over there but tmo couldn't give it. Jeez treviso Scrum folds and Wilson says hit the 3 NOC. Not sure that was the right decision. Time will tell.

7-3 to the Italians

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:34 pm

Phaw great work by small parcel notch's ginger love child goes in in the corner.

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:36 pm

Good kick from NOC there. Not often I give him credit....

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:41 pm

Deccie Fitz is mullering your man in the Scrum. Good lad. Treviso penalty 10 all.

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:44 pm

I'm away out on the rip in 10 mins so can someone take over the commentary duties at HT? You'll struggle to be as witty and insightful as me but que sera sera...

Watching the game with my Tigers scouting hat on prior to the double-header.

15-10 Treviso HT.

You won't be able to tell much with many of their 26 internationals missing

by MrsP Fri 23 Nov 2012, 6:59 pm

What has happened to our lineout again???

We seemed to get it sorted last week when Herring came on but it's a mess tonight!

That's really the reason Treviso are ahead I think!

Need it fixed asap!

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:01 pm

Golden I sent you a pm man!

Good game so far.

Not too unhappy with that first half... Marshall showing Deccie what he's missing and Paddy Wallace has looked sharp. Good try for Nelson and the scrum has went well.

Line out is a shambles though and we haven't dealt with Treviso's maul well at all.

There's going to be plenty of points scored yet I think!

by MrsP Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:01 pm

Mind you, I suppose we only have one second row available so....

Err maybe a BP full stop is more likely....its looking like a tight one!

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:05 pm

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:06 pm

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:11 pm

Good man Rodders.

by Jenifer McLadyboy Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:14 pm

Why are Ulster playing against a load of Orange bastids?

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:18 pm

by Jenifer McLadyboy Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:26 pm

15 16 NOC took 2 bites of the cherry to land a pen

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:28 pm

Diack playing very well... great kick from him.

by WillyGilly Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:29 pm

Cheers jenny Rodders isn't quick enough (first time he's heard that) Wink

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:31 pm

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:34 pm

Great hit by Diack..

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:35 pm

This is going to be tight one...Ulster line out just outside their 22 ...

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:36 pm

Another lost lineout but Treviso KO....

by neilthom7 Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:37 pm

Makes you appreciate someone who is a recognised second row when you watch this

by clivemcl Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:37 pm

The lineout is utter sh1te! furious

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:37 pm

On come Brady for Herring... Ulster scrum inside the 22...

by Irish Londoner Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:38 pm

Ulster just about OK - looking shaky on occasions awful line out!

by **rodders** Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:40 pm

Thank flip for the scrum...we've only won one line out all night!

by Irish Londoner Fri 23 Nov 2012, 7:40 pm

Really need at least another pen or better a try. Treviso playing very well
