Yep, it’s also used as a music venue

pickarooney · 20-10-2018 5:32pm

What channel?

20-10-2018 5:34pm

Oh great, there's a brass band. Who doesnt love a brass band

awec · 20-10-2018 5:35pm

Worrying how easy Racing made territory off the back of basic plays there. We couldn’t get near the ball

Ever since I heard a French brass band cover The Offspring’s The Kids Aren’t Alright during a Six Nations game all previous sins are forgiven.

awec · 20-10-2018 5:36pm

BEAUTIFUL!

pickarooney · 20-10-2018 5:38pm

Fantastic team try. I like these jerseys

20-10-2018 5:38pm

Holy ****. That was amazing

awec · 20-10-2018 5:38pm

Did we miss the conversion? WTF is this camera work

mangobob · 20-10-2018 5:38pm

Tremendous try.

Burkie1203 · 20-10-2018 5:39pm

Great defence from Zebo there

pickarooney · 20-10-2018 5:39pm

That conversion. Apart from the cameraman and Freddy Burns, who could have missed it?

That was classy!!
Lowry!

MJohnston · 20-10-2018 5:40pm

The TV coverage is atrocious - took them 2 minutes to add the conversion points onscreen.

20-10-2018 5:40pm

Camera is either too far or too close. Awful

A-Train · 20-10-2018 5:41pm

Coverage is terrible so far! I was wondering how in the name of god could they have missed that conversion after the try.

Great try but should have taken the restart after it

Scythica · 20-10-2018 5:42pm

Just reminding yall i said shanahan for 14 pts and motm..

20-10-2018 5:43pm

This is like watching a computer game from 2003.

You mean the odd lack of shadows?

ionadnapokot · 20-10-2018 5:44pm

Great tackle Addison
Nailed on to make the 23 in Nov

ionadnapokot · 20-10-2018 5:45pm

Who swapped POC in for Treadwell?

Clegg · 20-10-2018 5:47pm

That's gonna be a card for an Ulster player.

Had to turn them off, not enough RAM!

ionadnapokot · 20-10-2018 5:49pm

Racing fella head butted the ground

MJohnston · 20-10-2018 5:49pm

Silly silly.

awec · 20-10-2018 5:49pm

Stupid by Timoney

Peregrine · 20-10-2018 5:50pm

I like this Ulster jersey.

awec · 20-10-2018 5:51pm

How’s that any different?!

pickarooney · 20-10-2018 5:51pm

At least he cushioned the fall, seems like only his hair hit the ground. Still, lucky enough with yellow by law.

Former Former · 20-10-2018 5:51pm

Ah it was all going so well.

Yellow is enough though

awec · 20-10-2018 5:51pm

Has to be a yellow here

awec · 20-10-2018 5:52pm

Mmm, maybe not.

AdamD · 20-10-2018 5:53pm

That was clearly above the horizontal unless im going crazy here

Would have been YC IMO

MJohnston · 20-10-2018 5:54pm

Trying to play way too loose off that lineout with a man in the bin.

About a foot off the ground, though.

launish116 · 20-10-2018 5:58pm

This is turning into a good game!

awec · 20-10-2018 5:58pm

Good grief that is fantastic!

LuckyGent88 · 20-10-2018 5:59pm

Two great kicks from Burns to set that up.

A-Train · 20-10-2018 5:59pm

Great try but Jesus what was Gilroy at?

Clegg · 20-10-2018 5:59pm

That's a great try.

awec · 20-10-2018 5:59pm

Tell ye what wee Dave has been brilliant.

thomond2006 · 20-10-2018 5:59pm

Fantastic stuff so far from Ulster.

ionadnapokot · 20-10-2018 6:00pm

This is really good stuff from Ulster.
Another brilliant try
Loving the snappy delivery Shanahan

Peregrine · 20-10-2018 6:00pm

Jesus. My heart was in my mouth for about 20 seconds there.

Are we sure this isn't a screencast of Stephen Ferris playing EA Sports Rugby 2005??

mangobob · 20-10-2018 6:00pm

Brilliant. Enough talk about losing bonus points. This match is there for Ulster to win.

prawnsambo · 20-10-2018 6:01pm

Hey Ulster. You're supposed to concede tries when you're a man down, not score them.

MJohnston · 20-10-2018 6:01pm

If that hadn't worked out eventually, Gilroy would be a bit of a villain for not offloading.
