Heineken Champions Cup - Round of 16 (2nd Leg)

ulster needs trump to come in and fix their box kicking issues

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This game is scrappy as hell, but entertaining

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What a score. Incredible

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So lazy from #19, just stood to the side of the ball and watched Vermeulen come in over it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Red card


Edit: Wow - should've been a yellow, minimum

 

[die_mole]

you are three feet past the optimum point of catching the ball. . . I don't see how he gets away with this

lol, announcers rightfully in disbelief

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That is a terrible call

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If the concept of supporting players at the ruck ever reaches Toulouse they'll be unstoppable -they're more than happy to have someone take the ball in to contact and then only send the 9 in to shift the ball on, ignoring that Ulster are competing at every breakdown they can

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

No idea how Lowry didn't get 10 there. Especially considering the earlier yellows were on the soft side

 

[die_mole]

cause apparently if your finger tips are within a foot of the ball you can take out a man in the air

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This should be red - maybe even a red and a yellow

 

[die_mole]

should be 15 on 12

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Should be a red and yellow here.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

2nd tackler very lucky - he was in the process of making a shoulder charge even if the Toulouse player got hit into him early

 

[die_mole]

how is a high shoulder charge mitigated to nothing?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Cop out on 2. Surely only one level of mitigation, he was upright.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No HIA?

Erm...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fat lad in the crowd giving it the biggun at the Toulouse players, haha

 

[die_mole]

No HIA?

Erm...

at this point I'm convinced French medical schools just teach rugby tactics

Based on the way Toulouse are playing (like headless chickens) then they're doing a poor job of that n all
