That doesn't stop us playing on a Friday mind.
Late change for us, with Ebbw's centre Carl Meyer at 15 and Angus on the bench. Going to be interesting now

The reson the Dragons play on the Sunday is Newport County grabbing the Saturday games in sum cases but this weekend they played away.
Good news the rain has stopped and the sun has come out, hopefully the ground will dry out a little.
I notice another Irish ref for this one, it will be interesting to see the stats for the Pro12 as there seems to be very few non Irish refs.
Hers the list of refs http://www.pro12rugby.com/matchcentre/referees.php
7 Irish, 5 Welsh, 4 Italians and 3 Scots
Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Lloyd Linton is from Belfast, so 9 Irish refs!

Both him and Paterson work for the Scotish RFU therefore classified as Scotish refs so 7 Irish is correct.
Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Louis Ludik is out, Craig Gilroy moves to fullback and Scholes comes in on the right wing.

Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Will be interesting to see how that goes, will be a more attacking fullback but will he suffer on the defensive side?

Very true also the commentry will be in English, not many Welsh speakers in this part of Wales.

Looks like a tchange at 15 already making a positive impact for the Dragons.

Jones exposed the weak defence in the Ulster 9 10 channel leading to 3 points. So far Ulster lacking in ideas so far.

The commentary is never in English on s4c, what are you on about?! It's on the red button in English, but then it always is no matter where in wales the game is played.

That mishap between the centre's there was an absolute howler. Has there been a late change due to injury?

Well played Rory Scholes. Gilroy has been great counter-attacking so far!

Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Ian Humphreys drifts across killing the space then throws a very simple pass forwards. Paddy jackson can't come back soon enough...

For me there was a man taken out which created the gap.

Ulsters forwards need to pull their finger out fast. Hitting some f£%&ing rucks would be start!

Awful performance from the forwards so far. Lazy, slow, inaccurate.

I can't agree with the scrum decisions. Herbst is dead straight, Stankovich is walking around.

Where the is the support for the ball carrier? Ulster need a bollocking at half-time.

The backs have hit more rucks than the forwards.

There's a lot of Ulster forwards out there need to take a long, hard look at themselves.

Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Ulsters rucks and Kicking game have been dire in that half. Where is Clive Ross?
Dragons deserve their lead. Only positive is we are close at half time and when we get the ball through the hand we look dangerous

Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
Is there any player more missed than Chris Henry? He'd sort out the rucks.
Ian Humphreys has been dire recently. At this point we may as well be throwing Stanley into 10 and see what happens. He wouldn't do anything special but at least he wouldn't make as many mistakes.

You aren't wrong there mate, I am thinking of phoning the police in Wales to go looking for some of them because I haven't seen them in that half.

He would certainly help, but it would be naive to think that the rucks would be drastically improved. It is a team game, and collectively the pack is slow and cumbersome, not to mention lethargic in everything they do.
They look aimless, and this is where we have sorely missed the leadership of Muller more than anyone.

Did I just see one of academy guys with Pink hair? I thought we hid all the hair dye after the Paddy Wallace incident
Re: Dragons Vs. Ulster
It's not complicated; every team a back makes a break and is tackled the first two players there are backs. Every f'ing time. Where the hell are the forwards?

Jim Neilly gets a lot of criticism over his commentary, but he's the best in the commentary box today. My word Reggie Corrigan talks some garbage.

Anyone has time to stop if you watch it in slow enough motion. Oh well, I'm sure he will be banned for 6 months.

He took two steps after the kick and the second was on the kickers ankle and that penalty led to the try
