Heineken Cup 1/4F - Ulster v Saracens

[Feicarsinn]

100% deserved. You can't be that wreckless with a guy in the air. Goode is incredibly lucky that he didn't land on his head and as is he looks very badly hurt.

So very stupid.

 

[Big Ewis]

omg I'm so sorry Ulster people. This is terrible. I feel for you.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Well that ****s things up. If Ulster manage to win this I'll be amazed.

There's no chance in hell a team can play for 75 minutes one man down at this sort of level.

Oh and Pienaar is down, this is going to be a long night.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Well, this is certainly a test of Ulster's metal. I suppose if you're to lose anyone you'd prefer it to be someone from the back three.

And now Pienaar is down. Christ, tough opening 10 for the nordies.

England beat the All Blacks down there in a similar situation. It's a big ask, but not necessarily a death sentence for Ulster.

Rory Best now hobbling, I couldn't have imagined a more terrible start..

 

[Big Ewis]

No offense to the Saracens, but I'm still not counting Ulster out quite yet. It may not apply here, but France played like utter shht and very well could've lost to Wales in that Rugby World Cup semi-final. At least, they couldn't score a try on their wounded opponents. This is at home, and Ulster is a better team in normal circumstances. If they're STARVING enough, and relentless...who knows.

 

[big ginger 8]

And Best is off. Wow.

 

[Peat]

Best off. Unbelievable. We're cursed.

 

[Big Ewis]

Best out, right. Now we'll see Ulster's mettle, if this doesn't test them nothing ever will. Damn....poor Ulster fans.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Best is off, 2 of our most influential players out with Pienaar looking like he'll be off soon. What ****** me off is that this scoreline could be 25+ to Saracens I do not believe they are that much better than us.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Best goes along with Ulster's hope I think.

 

[ruggabee]

Ulster still look better than Saracens.

 

[big ginger 8]

And Ulster are winning, hilarious.

 

[TheSaffycen]

3-0 down but i'm not worried we need to keep the ball make them tackle us and later on the man advantage should tell.

 

[ruggabee]

Red red red!

 

[Big Ewis]

Ulster guys, don't fight !!!! You need all that energy for the rest of the game, trust me !!!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Maybe not...

 

[Feicarsinn]

Things could be worse. Bowe and Trimble are two very cool, experianced customers to have in the back three. You'd struggle to get a better pair of wingers to cover an absent full back. Herring is a good hooker, not quite up to Best's level, but definitely not out of his depth at this level. Pienaar would be a massive blow were he to come off though.

Ulster need to have the lead at the 60 minute mark and hope that adrenaline can get them over the line.

 

[big ginger 8]

Don't forget the calibre of forwards Ulster have on the bench Feic.

They need to take advantadge of these oppurtunities to have any hope.
