A discussion point for everything related to the game on Friday. Ulster should have Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding available start the game after injury.  Roger Wilson is unavailable after suspension due to personal reasons and Iain Henderson returns at blindside after coming off the bench for Ireland at the weekend.  

Ulster have next weekend off as they aren't in any European competition and will be looking to take a maximum 5 points from this before that ummm let's call it tricky run of fixtures we have coming up as we try and head for a home Semi Final.

Cardiff have The Dragons after this in the Challenge Cup Quarters and will want to win this for form and also to help avoid being the last placed Welsh team in the Pro 12.

Should be a cracking fixture

He led with the shoulder into the head, that is a red all day long.

Yellow, my arse. FFS!!!

Nick Williams will get another citing, and he should be dropped from the team, what else does he bring other than these stupid brain farts.

He's a clumsy big sod Lord and has previous of that kind of thing being over physical etc. Not good from the stupid big sod, he can be very reckless and I think that was all it was there.

Ah now wise up and dry your eyes. The forearm not close to the shoulder, google human anatomy, it might help you with that

Reckless or not, that was a red card, he should not be making contact like that, a cheap shot of the highest order, he knew what he was doing, throw the book at him I say.

He is a idiot. And he probably did deserve a red for the swinging arm

Pete, he lowered himself into the contact, he hit him with the top of his bicep/shoulder. Take your blinkers off.

I'm not sure I like rugby any more.

Drama queen or what, lord you got your stilletoes on?

Ulster are starting to get themselves a bit of a reputation these days.

Now this is fair.

You should tell that to your tmo.

Seeing as Landman got correctly criticised despite not even injuring somebody, I'm looking forward to seeing a bit of consistency in the citing (seeing as there was none with the card colour).

The referee recommended the yellow, the TMO agreed.

I'm referring to the anatomy chat seeing as tmo said the same thing as Dowlais

Game over for me. England v Lithuania from now on.

Apologies, a misunderstanding on my part!

Cardiff Blues are rubbish.

And the tv cameras showed what we all saw.

Ten nil to us and the same to Glasgow.

I wonder who Anscombe thinks are the clowns now

Nick Williams could well be playing his last game of the season tonight.

I should say that I hope Patchell is okay.

Leinster try

How were ulster allowed to drive from that line out ?

And another Ulster try wooohooo

Pete330v2 wrote:And another Ulster try wooohooo

Should not have been alowed.

LordDowlais wrote:How were ulster allowed to drive from that line out ?

Are you going to cry all through this. Go get some tissues and stop yappin

Mind you.

Who was the charmer who tried to tackle Ludik by the hair? That could have been dangerous too.

Do you even know the rules Pete ?

Boy, have we missed Paddy Jackson!

I wasn't overly convinced by the straightness of the throw. But I don't really like this trying not to compete in the driving lineout thing.

Anscombe having a crap game so far.

LordDowlais wrote:Do you even know the rules Pete ?

They are laws, soccer has rules

Williams = cheap shot merchant ?

Aaron Shingler out for 8 weeks, Rhys Patchell out for ... ?

Who else will he put out  before the season end ?

Nothing in that really.

TMO missed the barge on Cuthbert should be a pen to Blues.

Rory_Gallagher wrote:Nothing in that really.

No, I think he came to the correct decision really.

Neilly, his name is Alex Cuthbert. Jack Cuthbert plays for Edinburgh. Please stop embarrassing yourself!

Thought Smiler was sealing off first, so justice done.

This should be his last game penfro.

I wouldn't takeit personally he gets Ulster players wrong all the time

I was thinking that mate but he said it so many times that I actually started to dowbt myself good old Jimmy lol

Yeah, I know. I have to hear it every Friday night.

Ulster are unrecognisable from a few weeks back. Has Doak been away on holidays?

Penfro.

What did you think of the tackle by the hair?

That should be another yellow card, really.
