Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 5, Round 4 (Benetton v Ulster Montpellier v Leicester)

[Tony Manx]

Finally! Interesting to see MHR reaction now..............

 

[Tony Manx]

Guess that shows it!!! Superb!

 

[Tony Manx]

Stand up if your an Ulsterman............look after these guys when you meet up!!!!!

 

[Maverick1987]

Imagine if Ben Youngs didn't kick the ball away every time he touched it ........

Edit: and lamb

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

is anyone actually ****ter than ryan lamb? **** and an idiot - what a dual diagnosis to be landed with...

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

**** sake Montpellier. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Aristodemus]

**** sake Montpellier. Absolutely pathetic side.

Bit harsh that.

 

[Maverick1987]

Well that was amazing ........

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

**** sake Montpellier. Absolutely pathetic side.

worked in you favour last time you played them though didn't it!

 

[Tony Manx]

How really sad for the guys at MHR......they have played sooooooooo well and in the last minute, it all goes to s....! Leicester just do not know how to give up................

Wonderful load of MHR young guys to be further blooded at the top level and who is to say that MHR will not win the Boucliers de Brennu and the European Cup (or whatever it is called) within the next five years. They have a good team now, a great manager, the infrastrucure, the academy and some great up and coming players......jealousy oozes from every pore!!

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Didn't mean side lol, just that game

 

[Big Ewis]

ah, heart breaking for MP.
Played well, Tigers too. Nothing more to say, details aren't important now...congrats Tigers, played MP really well both times.
Sorry for Galthié and his guys, Paillaugue was very good until the KO.

Respect out to the Tigers, not magnificent in this one but solid and they've won both.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Must say I'm not looking forward to the Leicester game. I'd expect 5 points from each team in round 5 (provided Mont. send a ****e team over) so that makes it what, 23 Ulster and 20 for Leicester? I just hope Treviso can limit the tigers to 4 points.

The only thing I can take from this is that Ulster battered their first XV and the tigers scraped a win against a second string side.
Just wish I could enjoy the round 6 clash!!

Edit: Oh and Ulster have the tigers top 2 heaviest defeats Sky sports saying tigers are now the favorites for this pool.

 

[Tony Manx]

I think you will be facing the same team that you saw this afternoon as they have a policy of blooding their yoiuunger players in Europe especially where there is no chance of qualifying but that does not necessarily mean they are beatable as they proved to day...........yes, you should win but do not underestmate them!

I'd say it's about even on odds who will go through this group and I wouldn't get over excited about collecting 5 points from Montpellier even if it is at ravens . I'm not going wild about us collecting 5 from Treviso yet .

Don't get too ahead of yourself

I can understand why the odds might lean slightly Leicesters way as we have only played the worst team in the group once and have ulster at home ...

I don't see any reason why we couldn't get 5 points lol, if we can beat the 1st XV like that away, a good win at home against a 2nd XV should be relatively straight forward..

Tbh I thought the team that played today was better than last weeks team . Maybe not in well know players but those youngster have skill and confidence in abundance .

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this what the current quarter finals would look like?
Ulster vs Leinster
Saracens vs Munster
Toulouse vs Toulon
Clermont vs Leicester

No easy games there ! Though some of those could easily change . Quins looking seriously good atm and another shock win for Cardiff against Toulon and we might see a welsh team in there !!!

Nearly is never enough, but credit to the youngsters who played thier hearts out, Selponi an excellent replacement for Trinh-Duc, just the lacking of experience and it could have been a different story. All credit to the Tigers who came to do a job and did it well, well matched game but their experience in H Cup showed in the last 10 mins or so. Well H Cup over for us we can now concentrate on the TOP 14 with a game at Toulon next weekend, easy peasy lemon squeezy ( i don't think so) and hopefully we will see some of the new signings in action, Montpellier really need a win next week, lots of injuries at Toulon so why not now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
