Ulster Team Talk Thread IV... Go On My Henderson...

Presume Warwick designated as covering TH. Backrow is on the light side.

Burkie1203 · 07-01-2023 02:21PM

Benetton on fire here

Shehal · 07-01-2023 02:36PM

The Ulster pack literally just stood there and watched Benetton turn them over...not even for one second did they think "hmmm lets do our job and clear him out"....

Shehal · 07-01-2023 02:40PM

Ulster find different sort of ways of shooting themselves in the foot today.

If anyone is watching on a streaming service that just kept a live stadium feed during halftime, the DJ was on a f*cking warpath, hard early 90s rave, just crushing it.

Does Lowry ever catch a kick? Such an obvious weakness every match.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:04PM

Would be nice is Ulster actually contributed something to the game other than just observing the opposition attack.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:05PM

For Ulster its just side to side, side to side and then Ulster either drop the ball or get turned over...rinse repeat of La Rochelle (1st half) really.

07-01-2023 03:09PM

No try.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:10PM

Think that play says it all, Ulster's heads are just not in the game just like in the CC.

Ulster can just count themselves lucky that they arent against a team as good as La Rochelle otherwise they might as well left at HT.

munsterlegend · 07-01-2023 03:10PM

Why would you kick on 5 metre line? They are a joke Ulster. Absolute joke.

TRC10 · 07-01-2023 03:12PM

Hume and Lowry are shadows of the players they were last season.

This time last year there were calls for them to be starting in the 6N. I'd be amazed if either of them are named in the squad in a few weeks.

munsterlegend · 07-01-2023 03:17PM

Cooney is an absolutely awful passer of a rugby ball.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:22PM

Here's a challenge for Ulster, go one Benetton attack without conceding a cheap penalty.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:30PM

Try Benetton.

Alright Ulster on you're bike as ,once again , they have contributed absolutely nothing to this game.

If this continues McFarland may start facing scrutiny as I dont know what's happened but Ulster have been unbelievably bad the last month or so, they made Munster URC start seem okay in comparison.

Ulster's only real hope here is if Benetton are dumb enough or ill-diciplined enough to gift them enough chances to get back into this game.

munsterlegend · 07-01-2023 03:30PM

Ulster are a demoralised team. I doubt players are up to it to be honest,

07-01-2023 03:38PM

TBF they've got a chance here now - Stewart is good off these mauls.

Boom - penalty try given as well, plus a yellow.

It was the right call - they were going over.

They've responded well here.

Jump_In_Jack · 07-01-2023 03:40PM

Well done Ulster

Edit: Oh dear, great comeback, pity they couldn’t hold on at the end.

07-01-2023 03:41PM

And they've shot themselves in the foot by giving away a really sloppy and kickable offside penalty.

munsterlegend · 07-01-2023 03:42PM

Good comeback to be fair.

07-01-2023 03:42PM

Great strike from Rhyno Smith.

Ulster need to dig deep again.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:42PM

Incredible. After looking like stealing a victory from jaws of defeat they then concede a penalty as utterly brainless and needless as that. Just show's Ulster's head is not in this.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:44PM

It is justice though, Ulster deserve nothing from the game so to get a win would really be a crime.

07-01-2023 03:45PM

They nearly got it - great tackle on Baloucoune in the corner, but Stewart Moore guilty of eating up the space.

Absolutely super break from Michael Lowry to give them the field position.

Game over.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:47PM

Justice in the end, Ulster were embarrassing for the majority of the game and to concede a penalty as dumb as they did at the end confirms that they deserved to lose.

Shehal · 07-01-2023 03:50PM

On the whole also the amount of soft offside pen's they concede is a massive concerned. How many times do the opposition attack off the set piece or ruck are Ulster found offside immediately without even trying to get onside? The first try that swung the momentum to Benetton and their winning penalty at the end.

Scythica · 07-01-2023 03:55PM

Bell out

PMC83 · 07-01-2023 04:33PM

TBF Beneton are a decent enough side at the moment, scored some nice trys.

And viewed in isolation, this might be a valid point.

But when you combine the result today with the performance of Ulster today, and the performance of Ulster ever since half time in the Leinster game, you can see that there is a serious crisis at the moment. We are absolutely rubbish and there are no excuses for this any more.

Change is needed at Ulster, this season is now a write-off.
