Think he retired due to too many concussions, think his last one was quite bad so had to step down unfortunately

Too lazy to check. Where is Nathan White now? Is he gone back to NZ??

Coaching at Waikato last I heard.

Anybody in Midlands area know if the match will be available live in the Bounty at Buccaneers RFC??

Absolutely it will be

I wouldn't be so sure. Match is on premier sports 2 apparently, which I don't think is available in Ireland at all.

I'd say give them a ring to check

Edit: Balls, just realised the time ... You're probably there by now if you were going!

Anyone know of a river I could swim up to get to the Glasgow game?

Does any team concede within the first minute more than Connacht? It's ridiculous

Comical defence... beat three players with a straight line run.

Another lineout gone astray when close to the opposition line too

Godwin absolutely butchered that scoring pass. Serious break by Marmion though!

Bazzo

They haven't done a replay but looked to me like Marmion was possibly hit high at the end of that break. Should have been scoring there.

Wasnt even on to go wide to make it worse, should have kept it down the middle.

Ah jaysus, nothing going right so far...

Ah lads!
Galway bay are pulling the piss as well.

Why take that one when we turned down an easier one?

It doesnt make sense..either three is worth it at the score or not.
Nothing changed in those few minutes.

Not sure on the weather conditions but needed that kick to go over for Fitzgerald to try and get something for all the pressure then goes down the other end and they get a good pen.
They look like scoring every time they get the ball.... Non existent tackling so far

There’s a YouTube video up about 1 minute behind

That was more like it. Was worried he got tackled out of play there for a min

Lucky bounce there but overall a try is deserved to be fair. Fitzgerald óg having a poor showing so far from the kicking tea, hopefully he can turn it around.

No luck turns into huge luck, that was some crazy bounce to put Tiernan away.

Bazzo

McKeon with a good demo there of what to do if you know you're not going to contest a kick. Line up the receiver and absolutely flatten them, make them hesitate under the next one.

He looks nervous in general a couple of ropey passes and knock on. Hopefully can settle down

Cannon carded despite the score, hopefully that happens across the league from now on.

Edit: and Whitehouse doesn't know what the time on the clock is.... Tries to blow for half time at 39 mins

Heading for a trimming.

My thoughts exactly. It's fine to say it's the right thing to do but it's so inconsistently given it's seriously frustrating.

Bazzo

Mul, it's over

Oh dear Fitzgerald. Doesn't feel like it's going to be our night at all.

I was thinking the same thing. I've literally never seen that done before!

Strange decision to go for posts at the end I thought. Missing it kinda summed up the half. Could be a long 2nd half

briandebum

I can't believe it's not Butler

Absolutely appalling decision to go for the posts at the end there, given Fitzgeralds form and the small fact of us being down 19

Ian Davies carded a Zebre player last week for an infringement in the lead up to the Ross Byrne try to be fair, but it's so inconsistent.
