Mexico Vs Ulster ultimate epic super build up thread.

troyzer

Lads, I'm so miserable after this weekend that I have to move on and look forward to this game.

No matter how ****e we've been this year so far, at least one Irish team HAS to go through to the semi final of the Heineken Cup.

Hold me...

Excited for the 70th minute when, in a 1 point game, Jack McGrath receives a pass on Leinster’s 22, turns, runs under his own posts and touches down. In the confusion McGrath tears his blue jersey off Hulk Hogan style to reveal a white Ulster one. Ref Wayne Barnes allows it and with 16 men versus 14 Ulster run in a few more tries and coast to the semis.

... Also at full time the mysterious masked player who solved Ulster’s injury crisis at 13 reveals himself to be an un-retired Brian O’Driscoll. He apologies profusely for all his past Ulster negativity, encourages more player movement north and hails Rory Best as the greatest Irish captain of all time.

Dwayne Peel was asked about Henderson and Moore.

Henderson being looked at day-by-day, Moore following RTP. Sounded more hopeful on Moore than Henderson.

I would imagine if Henderson is even only partially fit he'll be played, once he looks able for ~60 mins work, he's just too vital.

Another case like Ferris in the 2012 final that was never played.

They also taped Ferris up for the Q/F that year and he put in a performance for the ages!

I agree though without Hendy we are done.

Discussing on the Ulster thread what our backline might look like.

No mention of Cave or Marshall in the update either. If neither are fit I think we are looking at sticking Jacob to 13.

Shocked Darren Cave is only 31, feels like he has been around forever

Well the Mexicans definitely are crossing the border and taking all the jobs.

I thought he was referring to spring break, where all the Gringos go south of the border to get f@*ked up.

I think you'll find Ulster winning in Thomond to become Ireland's third best province was only 7 years ago.

Second best team, third best province if my memory serves new right. Got to love Thornley.

Good to see we've kicked on so well since then!!!!

Was it Thornley who said Ulster beating Munster in 2012 would be bad for Irish rugby?

Jeeesus I had totally forgotten about that. Criiinge. As noted above, it was Hugh Farrelly in the Indo.

But an Ulster win this weekend would definitely be bad for Irish rugby.

It is a reference to the days before Michael Cheika, when Leinster-of-old (contrary to the popular belief in Mexico, rugby was not invented in 2009) used to take the field to the sound of the mexican hat dance, and do the dance itself as a sort of Leinster version of a pre-match haka, before being resoundly beaten by the opposition.

Good times. Before we sold out and it all became about "results" and "trophies".

I think that's why we have a soft spot for Ulster. They're obviously not bothered about having good players or winning stuff and maybe we see something of our younger selves in that.
