Rugby has tapped nicely into the steroids, whey, and Joe Rogan-listening culture of the young men of hellhole provincial towns, even if they themselves have never played and will never play the game.
Ulster havenât a chance today unfortunately.
Rent free with a lot of Munster players and fans too, his comments about Jack Crowley deserving to lose his Ireland spot and how coaching Munster is beneath him wonât have impressed too many.
Have they sacked him yet?
They do in fact, itâs become regular thing at Leinster games and itâs crept into the Ireland crowd now too (from Leinster, obviously) which is sickening. The silence for the kicker tradition which was the only element of atmosphere left at aviva games is gone now too. Again Leinster first and now Ireland. Itâs pathetic behavior from a crowd who clearly arenât proper sports fans.
UIster must be saving their effort for the second half here.
This place looks INCROYABLE today. An absolutely classic stadium.
Andrew Trimble has an exceptional broadcasting voice. Is it Connor Morris who is the main commentator? Heâs quite good too.
Good RESPONSE here from Ulster.

A very good effort from Ulster in the second half of the first half here and they reduce a 21-0 deficit to 21-14.
Oh dear. Crazy decision to kick the ball away with 30 seconds left of the half by Ulster and Bordeaux receive it and cut them apart.
Back to 28-14
Theres a promising looking outhalf called Carbery pilling the strings for Bordeaux. If only he was IrishâŚ

He was doing just fine until he left Leinster.
Itâs amazing he couldnât get a game with Ireland.
Heâs 30 in November. Thatâs about prime age for an out half.
Whatâs the latest he could come back to be considered for the 2027 World Cup? Summer 2026? If he signed a pre-contract halfway through 2026/27 would he then be considered?
He strikes me as a delicate player and character who thrives in warm weather with a good lifestyle. Somewhere like Bordeaux, not Limerick.

Plaster of Paris?
Yeah in fairness you would never see an ex Leinster player criticise a Leinster international from inside the SDM echo chamber. A proud boast

Eh, I never said you wouldnât see an ex Leinster player criticize a current player so not sure what your point it. Sure look at the Max Deegan discussion on RTE before the Sharks game.
My point is that ROG is an absolute knob and a lot of his comments are coming back to bite him now that his team canât win a game. Heâs obviously lost the La Rochelle dressing room and plenty of people are happy to see him fail.
@larryduff can be proud.
