Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 5, Round 3 (Ulster v Treviso, Tigers v Montpellier)

[UlsterRugby2012]

With injuries I think he is right now, while his pace and carrying are a nice asset I much prefer Best when he plays like a 3rd flanker. He gives a good impact off the bench though, but when Strauss returns he could be dropped out of the Irish 23.

Id like to think so too, but his throwing isn't even average at best. Everywhere else on the pitch he's good, but if our line out falls apart I wouldn't hesitate to bring Herring on.

Come on FTD show everyone why you should be the 10 for France and your team should be pressing for the Bouclier de Brennus this or next year!!

 

[Tony Manx]

WTF was that line out.....no one jumped even, complete lack of communication and Gonova strolled through!! Leicster are really up for this one!!

 

[Jaguares]

Good start for Tigers

 

[Peat]

The Benjamin for England train may be refuelling.

 

[Jaguares]

WTF Montpellier?! They are sleeping

 

[Tony Manx]

Best I have seen from the Tigers this year and no surprise when you see the returning players BUT what are the French tacklers doing?

Ranger is walking around the pitch as if he has never met his own team mates..............compare him to his opposite number Gonova and you wonder why the hoo haa.............surely he and the rest of the back line are better than this?

In the first try (By Goneva) was a fool Ranger, he should stop Goneva. It was his fault

One swallow doesn't make a summer.
He's been dire this season.


Does look good today, though - if he can consistently play like this then I wouldn't be adverse to it.

He is rushing up on his own, he is yards away from his other centre and is leaving a hole the size of the Atlantic, he has not got near to a tackle and not sure he has had the ball in his hands and he has been at fault in all the tries.....for what good he is, he should be in the Espoirs!! Awful..................Only way is up!!!

Yeah he has, but maybe its not a surprise considering all he's been through. I feel like there's a very limited supply of English wingers who'd have scored his first try.

 

[Aristodemus]

Seemed a bit harsh on Leicester that one, they are playing great.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How about that run from Gorgodze!

 

[Tony Manx]

...............nor Gorgodze's!!!

 

[Jaguares]

Great try by Gorgodzilla!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great decision making from Ranger....
Quick tap right into a pack of forwards.

 

[Aristodemus]

Butcher on the field!

 

[Jaguares]

Rush defense by Montpellier

No try, forward pass!

 

[Tony Manx]

Exactly! The first time he has had his hands on the ball and takes the wrong decision!!

Then he retreats slowly back and makes a dog leg out of the line leaving his wing to go for the man he should have and there is a two man overlap!!

I would be subbing him....mind you he just showed his running ability!!

This game is not over yet...............could be a 40 points each by the end!!
