Man that's a costly mistake from Rolland.

Agree should have been a penalty however a minute earlier we should have had the line out, his foot was so clearly in touch.



Bowe 1-0 North

Peat dammit you got there first!!

God that was quick to call a maul there! When he called it there wasn't two players from both sides. Crazy.

Ulster easily the best side, but Rolland has been massively harsh on the Scarlets imo.

 

[Peat]

Robbie Diack, nicely done. Feeling a bit more easy about this.

 

[Groundhog]

I'd love to see Liam Williams get a few smacks. Good player, but an absolute little ****.

 

[Peat]

Aye - will be interesting to see if there's anything brought against him - couldn't see ought, but Trimble clearly thought someone was having a go at his eye. Might be accidental, might have been someone else, might be the cameras saw nothing.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Second choice LH and TH destroying the scrum.
Diack needs some international recognition, even if its for the Ireland tour this summer - he's a cracking player.

 

[Groundhog]

He threw three. Can't say if they landed, but Trimble was fairly defenseless at the time. I wouldn't be wandering into the bottom of any rucks if I was Williams.
EDIT: Trimble started it, but swinging three digs at his face is totally unwarrented.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Loved the half time clip - the history of Ravenhill. I'm ashamed to say I didn't know Ulster beat Australia here.

 

[dullonien]

Such a poor start to the second half. Both players just leaving it for each other.

 

[dullonien]

Nothing going the Scarlets way. This'll be a royal tanking I think.

Edit. Who the f**k let that one bounce? Terrible. Scarlets are rubbish, really don't deserve to be in the play-offs.

If anyone has heard of hydrophobia it's when a substance repels water, you can get different materials that have this property and water simply brushes off it, not absorbed or wet whatsoever.
I wonder what difference it would make if you had a rugby ball coated with this material in wet conditions?

Edit: What a bloody bounce by Tuohy

 

[Peat]

Hope some of these Scarlets players are alright, lot of them hitting the turf, going off.

 

[dullonien]

That was great by Trimble. Hilarious!

Edit. Completely out muscled! Phil John is a useless player, he really is. If he was good in the loose, you could maybe accept that he's a bit cr*p in the scrum, but he offers nothing in any facet of the game. No aggression, one of the slowest players I've seen, poor tackler, no ball carrying.

Looking at things realistically, how many of the Scarlets pack would I keep if there was the choice? Only Ken Owens, the rest either flatter to deceive, or are just poor.

Edit. Great try by Gareth Davies. Awesome finish.

wouldn't that make it even worse as if the payers are wet. then it would slide from their hands?

 

[Peat]

Ah, apparently we don't have enough points yet. Go on Cmac's crush!

 

[Peat]

Hmm.

 

[dullonien]

How was that not a penalty? Ulster may have thought it was a collapsed maul, but Rolland decided this time it wasn't, and the Ulster players were all over the ball.

Edit. and how is that not a yellow? Scarlets still not getting any of the decisions.

Further edit. Okay this is getting ridiculous. Marchall just kicked the ball out of the scrum there didn't he? And nothing.

 

[Groundhog]

Scarlets are been given a bad time by Rolland really. He's had a shocker.
