First topic message reminder :

Indiscipline from ulster at the end of the first half cost them 7 points. I think there was 12 seconds left on the clock when they gave away the penalty and they got marched backwards another 10. And then to repeat the same 2 minutes into the 2nd half. I hope the coaches and Henderson have a quiet word with the offending players.

He went for the HIA about 5 mins after he'd been completely KOed in a ruck.  You could see him in the classic unconscious position, layed out with the arms up above his head.  How we, and many other fans, can see these things in real time while the independent doctors miss them with all the support they have ......

I see South Africans are being in sufferable again, because Bulls rightfully got one red and two yellows.

Munster and Leinster forums are worth a read.

Both saying Busby was wearing a Red or Blue shirt according to which forum you read.

I think Leinster fans are getting sick of being reffed off the park at scrum time. Some of the decisions against Porter were bewildering yet again. He seems to have some sort of reputation that he can't shake from refs.

To be honest he does have a tendency to bore in.
He needs to push straighter to paint a better picture.

I still reckon he would have been better staying as a TH but understand why he was switched

(p.s. if we lose it's 'cos it's on a Sunday    )

Definitely lost due to playing on a Sunday!

Always in the game but never looked like unlocking the Lions defence in the last 30 mins. Pretty toothless in attack 2nd half.

Frustrating from Dragons. A tough game next week too. I feel like we should’ve won at least two home games to have made it an acceptable start, even if we have battled in all of them.
