[Amiga500]

Unbelievably poor (and more than a little arrogant) decision from John Lacey, along with stupidity, ineptitude and incompetence from Neil Patterson completely change the complexion of the game and give Glasgow the win.

What is the point having a f__king TMO if they are utterly brainless?

Not one second after the conversion, the TV director shows the 5 yard forward pass that somehow the TMO didn't think to look at.

the Ulster try before it was from a penalty taken from the wrong place and a quick line out taken from the wrong placeand then did not go 5m. also the TMO was not asked to look at the pass by the ref

Yup agreed that quick lineout didn't go 5. Glasgow's try was forward, but Lacey is crap and both teams suffered.

Lacey is lucky that wasn't a 6N tie as he would have been pounded in the media for that display. Some truly awful officiating and decision making.

Glasgow looked down and out a few weeks ago but have real momentum now. A top 4 finish is in their hands.

 

[Groundhog]

Zebo's display made him our all time top try scorer which is fortunate because the fact our previous top try scorer was slower than soil creep was a bit embarrassing.
Scannell was great again, he's been a great find.
An all home produced starting 15 which is very good to see, but Zebre would struggle in the English championship.

20/23 were Munster men.

 

[Groundhog]

Jesus Christ Aki is fired up for this

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Scrappy as **** this!

 

[Groundhog]

Connacht playing way too much rugby in the first 10. Won't pull that off against a settled Leinster side
Van Der Flier is getting smashed

 

[Groundhog]

If anyone is still wondering why Matt Healy wasn't in the Irish squad, first 20 minutes of this game are why. Hasn't held the ball once in contact. Cian Healy getting handed his chops in the scrum!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

We're playing incredibly stupid stuff into the wind here... Stop box-kicking the ball.

 

[Groundhog]

Reckon Connacht will still lose this one. It's been pretty blow for blow so far, some crunching hits with neither side looking like trying to open the game up since the first 10 minutes.

 

[Groundhog]

Nigel Owens just hates making decisions one way or another. It's ridiculous.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Should have won that, had there been a referee we probably would have. ****e performance though so it's wouldn't have been deserved. Madigan should **** off to Bordeaux now, he's already there in his mind.

 

[GRD87]

Ospreys vs Scarlets was entertaning, if a little spoilt by the weather. Greasy ball made for too many scrums, and Ospreys' was awful. It was great to see the battle for the no.1 Scrum Half spot in the Wales squad between Davies and Webb... If GD was more vocal and distributed like Webb, there'd be a real challenge as they're both try-scoring Scrum Halves.

Some good prospects in the likes of James Davies, too.
