Is that 15- 9?

Surely Johnston is at outhalf?

Weakened team either way, I hope we've enough strength to win.

Great to see Bleyendaal back.

Great to see Rory get a start and bleyendaal back, some pressure on keatley will do no harm.
The back row doesn't inspire confidence though, two 8s and a blindside none of which would be keen on jackling and another 6 on the bench.

Why wasn't this game scheduled for tonight does anyone know?

Seems bizarre to have no Sat night game on. Actually all of the scheduling this weekend is bizarre.

Because S4C are host broadcasters and for past 2 seasons (including this one) have chosen Sunday afternoon as their preferred time for live coverage.

Apparently it clashes with 'Nawyddion a Chwaraeon' which translates to Sports News'. Quiet ironic

Sunday afternoon rugby is very regular for Dragons in the same way that Friday night is for Ulster. I'm sure they get some say/influence in the scheduling.

In general I think the Welsh dislike the Sunday games whereas it seems Ulster like their Friday night games.

Try the Dail bar or Pucan. If they don't have it they might show it if asked

Thanks

Our breakdown work has not been good the last two weeks, opposition turning us over too easily.

Great break from ROM and DOC

Pink Fairy

Great run by O'Mahoney, but no try?

wp_rathead

Zebo could have reached out and scored - correct call to say was double movement
Good break from O'Mahony

case885

Our lineout has been terrible, that's two Doc has failed to gather.

Pink Fairy

Ah ffs!!

case885

Jesus why didn't he pass to zebo

Anatidaephobia

Outrageous miss from Amarosino.

former total

Dear God.

..Oh Lord...

Pink Fairy

2 butchered trys already, we're much better than Dragons, but leaving points behind is unforgivable

Zzippy

To call those chances butchered is an insult to good butchers

Pink Fairy

Good defense by Zebo

wp_rathead

Great tackle by Zebo
