Ulster Rugby 2017-18

Jeez - O’Donoghue eeled his way through that maul and caught Herring.

by Redman Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:25 pm

Kicking to the corner .... words fail me.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:25 pm

Why go for a set piece on half time when you have been dominated in the set piece all game? Very poor game management there from Ulster, really should have taken the points.

by marty2086 Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:27 pm

AOC not happy with Ah You after that maul, surely he doesn't come out for the second half? Given away penalties left right and centre

by Artful_Dodger Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:28 pm

This is a car crash. Could this be the end of Kiss?

It could be but in fairness our defence is pretty good so far but a weak pack is the root of all Ulsters problems and the lineout and scrum have been poor all season, thats Gibbes and Dundon who would stay if Kiss leaves so it doesn't get better if he goes

I don't know, I am not sure Kiss is responsible for this. This is an Ulster seriously lacking in confidence. Its the individual errors that are costing Ulster here, is that due to Kiss?

It really could have been another game if the ref took a second look at the tip tackle and Munster went down to 14 men...

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:44 pm

Better from Ulster. Ref still not watching the Munster defenders.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:45 pm

That should be a card for Munster

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:46 pm

Another penalty. Yellow card?

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:47 pm

About time for a warning.

by clivemcl Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:47 pm

What a weak ref. Penalty awarded and ball knocked from McCloskey’s hands right in front of the ref. Nothing.

In fairness, he was also very lenient on Ulster in the same situation in the first half...

That has to be given.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:51 pm

That happens at every ruck... This is poor refereeing for me, that is a try.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:51 pm

Cruel decision for Ulster. No try.

by Artful_Dodger Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:52 pm

I'm done with this match, laters.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 6:55 pm

Doesn’t look good for Scannell. Arm/wrist injury?

by marty2086 Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:00 pm

Archer in from the side and not penalised and surely a deliberate knock on to prevent Cave from scoring too?

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:01 pm

Excellent build up pressure and try scored by Cave.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:01 pm

That’s a red card

by clivemcl Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:02 pm

You look at Cave try celebration and you are left scratching your head since the passion certainly looks like it’s there.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:02 pm

That could be a red card here...

by marty2086 Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:03 pm

If he stays on his feet its a yellow but you fly off your feet thats red

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:03 pm

Thought so.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:04 pm

Bit of Cave passion into rest of team needed please.

by marty2086 Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:05 pm

Someone get Dodger, its game on now

by clivemcl Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:05 pm

What’s the deal lads. There’s no lack of passion that I can see. Just lack of strength and ability then is it?

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:06 pm

We have a game now. Pity it has to happen with players off the pitch.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:07 pm

Cooney never lets up. Stirling Player.

Ulster lacked belief in the first half, compounded by the ref but Munster ill discipline has caught up with them and gone hand in hand with Ulster playing with more belief in the second half

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:08 pm

Come back Dodger.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:08 pm

Those missed kicks from JJ may have a huge impact on this game for Munster now...

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:09 pm

Jeez the booing by the Ulster fans is so poor.

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:12 pm

O’Donoghue playing very well at 8. A somewhat unremarked talent with Stander’s shadow.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:13 pm

A little bit of play acting coming into this match by Ulster right now...

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:19 pm

Ulster much smarter now. Can they make this pay?

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:21 pm

Oh yes. Gilroy in the corner.

by clivemcl Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:21 pm

The initial contact of that was ankle on Cave was to the face. No acting.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:21 pm

Well that is the game to Ulster.

Must say the ref has been absolutely awful, gave everything to Munster in the first half and everything to Ulster in the second.

by clivemcl Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:21 pm

What a conversion!

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:21 pm

Cooney is the new Pienaar.

by eirebilly Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:23 pm

Sorry but Cave ducked into that and flayed out to the ref. Play acting.

by Artful_Dodger Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:23 pm

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:24 pm

Dumb penalty by Munster.

Since when is calling the refs attention playacting? Is common n place in every team.

Like that Cooney try?

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:26 pm

Oh My God.

by Pete330v2 Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:27 pm

Cooney for president

by Pot Hale Mon 01 Jan 2018, 7:28 pm

That’s odd. The crowd has stopped booing.
