Harlequins v Ulster match thread

awec

Looks cold.

bilston

I'm not certain this game is lasting 80 minutes.

bilston

I'd have thought these conditions will be new to Lealifilano

This should be entertainingly bleak.

connemara man

Looks a wee bit cold there

MJohnston

Broadcaster?

Scythica

How has Les managed to get one of those hats, can't find one for love nor money anywhere!

Just your regular Ulster match then.

Scythica

The Ulster boys making all the noiseeeeee

bilston

Jaysus that would have been the try of the millenium.

Bazzo

Snow just looks like it's getting heavier and heavier.

ongarite

Hard to see ball on TV once it on the ground.
If it keeps up till HT when players are off the pitch it could be called off.

LuckyGent88

Surely no way this match gets finished. It's getting worse and worse

I think that's the problem...half time...that said if the pitch doesn't freeze up (wgich it shouldn't while its snowing) and the visibility isn't too bad then it may be ok.

Sephiral

Just turned on the TV hungover. Thought it needed tuning like in the old days.

There will be a small army of ground staff on the field at half time trying to keep the game viable.

awec

Seems to be getting a bit lighter again.

ongarite

The pitch is nearly fully covered, another 20 mins like this and the game is off IMO.

Scythica

GET INNNNNN

Diabhal Beag

No surprises that ex-Sportsground man John Cooney has absolute made bits of Quins in the snow

bilston

Feck knows what happened but I think Stockdale just scored a try!

awec

I think there was a knock on in there at one point

Sephiral

Stockdale doing his thing.

How on earth is the TMO going to figure anything out when nothing can be seen!

Diabhal Beag

The sweeping just as Quins were returning the kick into their 22

vienne86

Good man Cooney.

Eh.....where are the lines????

Scythica

Did anyone see what happened between McCloskey and Brown?

matthew8

Good call avoiding the TMO, can't be prolonging the game and the time for the snow to get on the pitch.

bilston

Ah Christian

Is it going to snow in Dublin?

Apparently not.

Is it snowing in Bath?

If this game lasts 60 minutes the result stands

What .....a......kick! Harlequins don't deserve anything here.

Sephiral

Great maul defence.

Shouldn't it have been half time when possession changed hands for the penalty after the 40th minute there?

Yep

Irish Times have live commentary

Fcuk sake Cooney. Clock is red so send it 40 metres in to the stand...not a box kick to hand back advantage. Good job they fecked up the line out.
Ulster make life awful hard for themselves at times.

CIARAN_BOYLE

I've never seen some of those players move as fast as they did there running for the tunnel

mfceiling

Just a point to remember...even with all the snow, rain, poor conditions under foot, inability to see the lines, wet ball and difficulties securing possession off set piece plays - Mike Brown is still a knob.

Scythica

Gutted that LAR-Wasps is on at the same time, just seen the score. Looks like a belter!

Thinking the same.......have it recording to watch instead of Saracens v Clermont.

CIARAN_BOYLE

You know i would have thought there would be a much bigger group of people clearing off the snow. 4 people with brushes doesn't really cut it does it.

errlloyd

Yeah, I'm gonna watch it between games. Hope bt don't spoil it all.

They don't seem too bothered by it, just clearing the lines.

Diabhal Beag

Can't remember the last time I saw a HIA caused an arse to head collision

Scythica

Wish they'd stop staying the la Rochelle score

Bazzo

Tsk tsk, Ugo Monye finding it hard to compose himself because poor Danny Care took a serious arse to the face :pac:
