The Rugby Thread (Part 2)


Great finish last night after a bad first half. 3 from 3. Sportground looking splendid.

A first win for Zebre in something like three years.

Looks like Munster is rubby country againe

An incredibly exciting young team.

What was Daly supposed to do there? McIlroy was head down and half-stumbling into his chest

Is that a 4G pitch?

Delighted to see McIlroy walk off there, it looked like it could have been much worse for him. Hard to lay any blame at Dalys door though.

3G? Paupers

Two lovely cross-kicks in that attack

Frank is setting the stage here for himself to have a massive finish

He’s ensuring he won’t be accused of bias anyway !

Wouldn’t say Crowley stood out in any way tonight there, he’s got a way to go yet

Yeah agreed. Casey was decent enough behind a pack under pressure I thought. Some big plays.

Couple of youngish players for Ulster looked v good

Think the two munster utilty backs signed arent much judging by the knock ons and general sluggishness of the backs.

Ulster should’ve won easily. Different game when Henderson came on.

Munster haven’t the depth, its always an absolute fucking clogger coming on in the front row.

Harry Byrne has a right chance for the six nations if he can get the games.

Munster linked with an Irish qualified Crusaders prop, they should do that.

Nice for the talented Jake Flannery to see one out. Herring and Billy Burns are fucking eejits but are brilliant rugby players, especially at this level. Burns kicking out of hand from pens was beautiful, that day in Cardiff is a bit of an anomoly in some ways, think Franno called him a dinky player at International level and that’s about right.

I’d say Stockdale will get one more run with Ireland, made yards on every carry tonight. Lowe could struggle physically in the next couple of years.

Thats it really.

Watery defending by Connaught there, barely got a finger on Van Der Merwe

Forum favourite Ben Healy fairly suspect in his attempt to stop pensioner Tiernan O’Halloran from a try there earlier

:see_no_evil: Carty

That was a wild flake at the conversion

Carty’s radar is all over the shop again tonight

Jack Carty is truly the Conor Cooney of rubby
