This is eerily similar to Leinster's first game against Munster. Our lineout is malfunctioning and we're struggling under the high ball.

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:00pm

Poor from Ulster.

Buer · 12-09-2020 8:01pm

If Leinster don't sort their line out, they'll give Ulster a shot to win this (a bigger one) and deservedly so. Seems to be a total breakdown in communication and uncertainty on calls.

ongarite · 12-09-2020 8:01pm

Dorris has been superb again so far.

Dave_The_Sheep · 12-09-2020 8:01pm

Some read by Ringrose.

Squidgy Black · 12-09-2020 8:02pm

Surely that was high from McCloskey there, had Ringrose by the neck

Partly a good read and partly indecision from Ulster. I don't think that was the man he expected to be hitting!

Clegg · 12-09-2020 8:03pm

Second Ulster infringement at the lineout. Maybe should have gone to the line again and eke another pen and possibly a card.

It's a final. You don't turn down points in front of the sticks when it's 7-5.

And your line out has been a bit of a lottery

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:05pm

Alby being a bollocks. Good to see.

Utah_Saint · 12-09-2020 8:05pm

Brace giving them a lifetime

Buer · 12-09-2020 8:06pm

Fierce habit in Ulster of turning down kickable pens.

A-Train · 12-09-2020 8:06pm

Very poor from Kelleher again in the lineout

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:07pm

TG4 picture gone to fcuk.

Buer · 12-09-2020 8:08pm

He's 14 years younger than me but I still hope I'm as tough as Andrew Porter when I grow up.

A-Train · 12-09-2020 8:08pm

Great turnover from Porter

You'd need 14 years in the tattooing parlour to catch up with him!!

Yup. Massive system problems but no doubt that at least 2, if not 3, have been throwing issues.

And Doris spills one. The confidence in the line out is shot.

Edit: on replay, throw wasn't on the money again.

Two balls went threw the hands of the jumper.

One really poor throw too

Squidgy Black · 12-09-2020 8:09pm

What the fúck is going on with our lineout.

thomond2006 · 12-09-2020 8:09pm

Leinster lineout looking very similar to the struggles against Munster in the season re-opener.

crisco10 · 12-09-2020 8:09pm

So decent throw that time but dorris fails to catch uncontensted.system failure...ugh

Clegg · 12-09-2020 8:10pm

Lineout is a huge problem. Can't build scores and can't clear our lines. We've handled Ulster well since the opening 10 but our errors are keeping them in this now.

That game we had Baird and Fardy to point at and say well neither of them call the lineout, but with Toner and Ryan both in this time it's inexcusable

Is anyone else’s tg4 all jittery?

Doris should have taken it but throw was mediocre. Asking him to take it at very limit of his jump.

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:11pm

Ulster running out of ideas.

DellyBelly · 12-09-2020 8:12pm

Tg4 coverage is appaling.. How are the players not dropping the ball with all this shaking

Struggling to watch. Even the streams are ****e.

Shocking for a final.

Clegg · 12-09-2020 8:13pm

Conan has conceded three pens not rolling away now.

Clegg · 12-09-2020 8:16pm

Doris is the best player on the pitch.

Again.

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:16pm

Can't keep doing this.

Squidgy Black · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Ulster have an awful habit of turning down points. They could be ahead going in to half time if they didn't keep turning down the shots at the post.

kmart6 · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Terrible waste of position.

Buer · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Ulster would be a really good side if their tactical decision making wasn't thick.

Every week since the return, they've turned down multiple straightforward penalties to go for the corner and failed.

A-Train · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Ulster need to be taking points when on offer

mangobob · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Are Ulster allergic to taking 3 points or something?

ScrubsfanChris · 12-09-2020 8:17pm

Burns having a shocker. Head is visibly gone.

Clegg · 12-09-2020 8:18pm

Don't think Burns has faith in his kicking.

Buer · 12-09-2020 8:18pm

On a diplomatically positive note, Ryan and Henderson both looking very sharp despite their absences and recent surgeries.

mfceiling · 12-09-2020 8:18pm

Need to get to half time with this scoreline.

Squidgy Black · 12-09-2020 8:20pm

You have to wonder if the trade off of Mathewson being in form and much snappier on the pitch but an outhalf who's only kicked 8 times this season from the tee will turn out to be the wrong call
