The other game this weekend - Does anyone even care Ulster v Connacht Build Up thre

Diabhal Beag · 23-08-2020 4:18pm

Happy enough there. Always bound to be a lot of errors first game back both sides.

Agree with that - they need to put a time on it, like 3s or something from the call.

Its already in law that its 5s and if not used its a scrum turnover but rarely used by officials at any level

thomond2006 · 23-08-2020 4:18pm

Massive turnover for Connacht. In this position they'll have to fancy themselves to close this out. The impact/form of the replacements could be crucial.

stephen_n · 23-08-2020 4:18pm

Ulsters decision making is absolutely atrocious. Three on one and we will just keep passing towards the touch line.

Clegg · 23-08-2020 4:19pm

Ulster's execution of most things has been off. Lineout is very sloppy and they've been turned over three or four times by their own poor ball presentation. McCloskey and Hume have been poor offensively and defensively. Taking contact too much and when they out it through the hands the accuracy isn't there.

Ellis was behind a lot of the best attacking play in 2015-2016. He left and we lost a lot of that for 2-3 years. Friendy is slowing bringing back that pomp.

It’s a delight to watch isn’t it?
Refreshing.

I don't want to jinx it, but Frank Murphy is having an excellent game for both sides.

He’s a good ref.
People were getting their knickers in a knot because Sexton was been obnoxious to a ref...again.
And it couldn’t be Sextons fault!!

Referees wait far too long to call use it in the first place. Could be far more proactive in speeding up the game.

Get Madigan on!

Burkie1203 · 23-08-2020 4:33pm

That looked horrible

ClanofLams · 23-08-2020 4:34pm

Looked bad for Thornbury. Niall Murray looks to have developed a fair bit physically.

stephen_n · 23-08-2020 4:36pm

Hope that’s just a concussion and they’re being overly cautious.

I wish they did that with Sexton last night l.
He appeared fine.
But that’s not the point.
And it’s not as if there isn’t history there

Very lucky boy not to get a yellow there

Ref said it wasn't cynical. Dunno where he gets that from.

CMcsporty · 23-08-2020 4:45pm

Alby is a class operator

Scythica · 23-08-2020 4:46pm

1 out of 3 aint bad!

thomond2006 · 23-08-2020 4:46pm

I miss Alby in red.

Zzippy · 23-08-2020 4:46pm

That's been coming.

Former Former · 23-08-2020 4:47pm

Lovely pass by Burns there

CMcsporty · 23-08-2020 4:47pm

Weird seeing Michael Jackson at FB

cson · 23-08-2020 4:49pm

Shaping up to be a another cracking game.

Super entertainment, think the wider space of the Aviva is lending itself to more expansive rugby.

cson · 23-08-2020 4:50pm

Great finish by Farrell.

gally74 · 23-08-2020 4:50pm

Conn have reset to 2015

thomond2006 · 23-08-2020 4:50pm

Madigan on to rescue an eight point deficit.

Edit: Try ruled out.

Diabhal Beag · 23-08-2020 4:51pm

Calling this back

stephen_n · 23-08-2020 4:51pm

Grounding looked off

CMcsporty · 23-08-2020 4:51pm

Madigan on
That try is his fault
Can’t “manage a game”
“Bit in too early”
And couldn’t put a player “Through a gap”

Akrasia · 23-08-2020 4:52pm

Doesn't look like it went over the line

Paul Smeenus · 23-08-2020 4:52pm

Don't think McFaland cares about this game at all. Cooney, McGrath, Moore, Cotezee off by 47 minutes. Burns by min 52.

MarinersBlues · 23-08-2020 4:53pm

The crowd didn't like that try being ruled out.

CMcsporty · 23-08-2020 4:53pm

Lucky
But this is all on Madigan

CMcsporty · 23-08-2020 4:53pm

Told you

Akrasia · 23-08-2020 4:54pm

plan b- give it to Aki

cson · 23-08-2020 4:54pm

That's phenomenal power.

Ran over Madigan (who went a touch high if we're being critical).

yerrahbah · 23-08-2020 4:54pm

Aki...wow

Clegg · 23-08-2020 4:54pm

I can't tell if that's excellent attacking from Connacht or dreadful defending from Ulster? A crashball to Aki running at Madigan is so obvious.

Bazzo · 23-08-2020 4:55pm

Jaysus Bundee putting his mass to good use

23-08-2020 4:56pm

That's a rough start for Madigan lol

Zzippy · 23-08-2020 4:57pm

Feel a bit sorry for Madigan there!

Paul Smeenus · 23-08-2020 4:57pm

Great hair on John Andrew. Lustrous.

launish116 · 23-08-2020 4:58pm

Impressed with Mathewson so far!

yerrahbah · 23-08-2020 4:58pm

Mathewson is such a clever player

thomond2006 · 23-08-2020 4:59pm

Alby is such an annoying bollix. So good.

Bazzo · 23-08-2020 4:59pm

Hold up, is whatever Mathewson did there really legal? Had his foot actually inside Connacht's scrum

mfceiling · 23-08-2020 4:59pm

Alby being a prick like all good 9's should be.

Paul Smeenus · 23-08-2020 5:01pm

About time. Cheating buggers.

Alby is a gem
