Wow! Tommy going like a train.

by Cari Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:39

Dear me, just copped a view of the ref - he looks like he's wearing a bad wig.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:41

I think there might be some hairspray involved, Cari!

by perthshirepuma Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:41

Looks like a DIY peroxide job, Cari

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:41

This is chuffing ominous...

by neilthom7 Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:45

Thats the bonus point already folks

by Golden Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:46

Just tuned in to see the 4th try.

Are Ulster that good or dragons that bad?

Whose gone off for mcclusky?

by Cari Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:47

Marshall went off and McClusky came on.

O's up against Edinburgh already too!

Tommy Bowe is that good, dragons are bamboozled by his greatness.

by MrsP Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:50

How much did the annoncement of the coach leaving disrupt the Dragons?

by neilthom7 Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:50

I think the ref has found some of the mystical peroxide we tried to destroy after it went through the Ulster squad like a virus a few years back, I think we all remember the Wallace attempt

by Cari Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:50

Actually the ref reminded me of Michael Palin in The Life of Brian when he's doing the camp centurion at the crucifixtion...

I was wondering that. Bit sudden wasn't it?

by MrsP Fri Feb 28 2014, 19:52

It looked like he took a kick to the head. Understandably they were pretty cautious but he walked off with help.

Jaysus of all people to get another head injury.

Marshall seemed in good spirits considering he was coming off with a potential injury, and he was walking up and about, so that's something positive.

Tommy looks like he's his old self. I hope he doesn't play for Ireland to be honest (as bad as that sounds).
