[2013/14 Pro12] Semi-Finals

[Peat]

Couldn't they move it to Edinburgh if there's nowhere in Glasgow? Easter Road's big enough, I think Tynecastle is, there's always Murrayfield if the pitch isn't dead...

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Why did we nominate the RDS in the end anyway? Wouldn't the Aviva or Thomond been more suitable?

Where did Hook get that 7 try stat? Out of his ass?

What you mean why did Ulster nominate RDS? They didn't nominate anything they didn't have to

I'm talking about last seasons final.

Happy with Ulsters start, looking good in attack.

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

could you keep me updated with the scores

Aviva was booked for soccer and Ravenhill wasn't suitable.

Regards now Ulster look awesome. Piennar is a class act

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

How about Thomond? Was it being used?

How about Thomond? Was it being used?

More of a pain for both sets of supporters and you're meant to get a 50/50 allocation so more practical.

EDIT: I say we try this newfangled thing of actually keeping the ball.

Squeeze knees indeed.

 

[munstermuffin]

Thomond could've been in use by Limerick soccer that night not sure. But probably meant inconvenience for both.

I know I've been calling for Zebo in to Irish squad and still do but I think Trimble and Bowe are a good bit ahead of any other winger ATM.
Henderson in beast mode tonight too

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Why is he talking to Heaslip so much about that tackle, his foot was on the ground, if the referee is unsure check the TMO. I really don't see how that was the same as the tackle on Trimble.

 

[big ginger 8]

Did we actually just do something resembling exciting rugby?

Agreed. Heaslip if calling for a card was ridiculous. It was very tight and not a yellow

 

[big ginger 8]

Another linebreak? I'd say we should finish them off but it's been so long since they've had any, it's natural they're confused. Yeah I'm being a real dick about our rugby this evening.

Roux has really improved his tackling.

Agreed Roux seems improved all round.
Regards Ulster. Cave won't be a 12 ever, defensively he keeps drifting and isn't a 12

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Likewise Payne just isn't a 13, has no where near the space we're used to him seeing.

Could see the backline shift later in the game with Marshall coming on for Gilroy and everybody resuming their original positions.

 

[Peat]

13 in not defending the 12 channel naturally straight away shocker.

That was the first time I've had a gripe with Hodges, most refs call a warning rather than putting the arm out straight away.

edit: Not sure that was a yellow... ok, maybe it was on the replay.

Ulster play awfully with 14 men.

Also, the actual point I came to make here... Schmidt will be hating this error rate.

 

[big ginger 8]

That was stupid especially for someone of D'arcy's experience.

That's twice Ulster have missed touch off a penalty.

 

[munstermuffin]

Ulster look spent at scrums it's very messy but Leinster are dominant there.
