    Yeah, ridiculous that he didn't foresee the ball falling off the tee

    Ulster screwed up at a lineout that lead to those 2 yellows and PT.

    They were Gloucester lineouts man

    They got penalised at a maul surely?

    Ran down the clock so served its purpose.

    Surely that was an earlier drive on O’Connor at last maul


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,068 ✭✭✭TRC10


    All things considered, 17-10 at HT is not too bad at all from an Ulster perspective. Big 2nd half needed with qualification Hopes on the line.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    Should have taken a 3, within 1 score of leading and Gloucester going in on a low without taking advantage of the extra men.

    Used to winning mauls when we have some forward grunt, not with this pack though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,210 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Not the start we needed

    Learnt nothing from the PT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    12-14 points originating from a soft penalty off a lineout from Ulster. Again is lineout work optional at training?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,068 ✭✭✭TRC10


    Discipline and set piece really costing us.

    Lack of backup forwards

    5 lineout's lost, not good enough for this level whatsoever.

    Yeah losing your 3 first choice 2nd rows and best ball carrier would hurt any team.

    I would hope a professional rugby team would still be able to have a functioning lineout at the very least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,538 ✭✭✭launish116


    God Ulster will kill your nerves! Great try!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,210 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Nice try

    My coverage is a mile behind, just seeing the try as I post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,538 ✭✭✭launish116


    Dodgy clear out missed by Ulster there as well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    Why is that tackle worth looking at? Sure according to BOD that's just a rugby incident and totally fine because he didnt mean to tackle the player in the air...

    You've made your point, the lineout is bad, nobody is disagreeing. I was replying to a post about not having backup forwards

    Again the lineout is your bread and butter, I seriously question the level of coaching the players are getting if they require 2-3 players fit to win a lineout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,210 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    At least 3 and possibly 4 penalties in that play

    Much like the national team, then.

    Can't believe the Ref wasn't going to give a PT there!!
