URC - Round 11

[saulan]

Wow our defense has been terrible and inaccurate on attack.

 

[saulan]

Yep. We are done. Our attack is "play out chaos and see what happens!" It works when you have Willemse, Libbok, SFM and Gelant, but right now we only have Gelant.

I don't see us making top 8 from here.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Rookie ref having a tough day in Thomond Park.

As are Munster and the Scarlets in fairness.

 

[Groundhog]

Think we were very good there. Pack just bullied them out of it. Ahern and is a dawg, Coombes is a dawg, Kendellen? Dawg. Coughlan is a puppy. I think he's really a very decent 9 now. Played nice stuff given the conditions. Thought the ref niced us a few times in all honesty too.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Switched over to the Ulster game.

Tom O'Toole is a bit of a donkey.

Ulster are a terribly coached side, my God. Discipline awful, focus awful, tactically reckless. If Mark Sexton is the only change to the staff next season I can only see it getting worse.

Think they're rumoured to have a clear out coming.

 

[Groundhog]

Only seen that Ulster result. Shocking from a game they were at times in control of. That said Benetton are a really decent outfit now and you love to see it to an extent.

 

[Flankers' paradise]

I was a bit confused with the O'Toole one because it looked like he was trying to clear out the other guy but lost his bind from the front angle but they only showed the rear angle once and I missed it. He and Timoney should both be with Ireland though. Doak wasn't great sadly

 

[dirty harry]

Cardiff over played as usual and handed Connaught a simple win, despite the scoreline.

Good to see Wales new coach blaming the wind ffs

 

[Amiga500]

TBH - it is maybe Benetton benefitting from the schedule - of all the teams in the league their U-18s are likely to beat - we'd be near top of the list of soft-touches!

So utterly unfortunately predictable.

 

[Amiga500]

Doak wasn't great sadly

Doak is shockingly slow.
We already struggle to generate go forward - and whatever we do eek out is lost by his ponderous distribution.

 

[Amiga500]

Think they're rumoured to have a clear out coming.

If you clear out the deadwood and those that aren't good enough - I'm not sure who all will be left.

 

[Flankers' paradise]

It's a shame because on paper you have: O'Toole, Stewart, Henderson, McNabney, Izuchukwu, Timoney, Doak, McCloskey, Hume, Balacoune, Stockdale, Kok and Lowry. On paper a great team but then with TS RB JH and WK always injured and Nationale 1 level coaching, what's left has been reduced to the pits. Once Izuchukwu went off with injury I knew that was game over

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I don't think the player pool is there to compete for top 4 but the amount of winnable games they're losing by large scores is on the coaching team. There's more than enough talent to qualify for playoffs which isn't going to happen.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Wasn't far off my Welsh clean sweep. I may have got every result wrong but still……

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Dragons truly are dreadful…

 

[The Seeker]

We Are Warriors! Glasgow wins 45-20.

I predicted a Welsh clean sweep too... it was just opposite of your idea haha

He'll be well chuffed now he get's to decide about closing the roof then.
