    Blown it... again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    Some pace from Cronin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    Class move. Didn't think tackler released


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Again getting ourselves into the right position but unable to protect the ball.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Ah quicker hands and ball needed after a good Cronin break


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    Nuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Low standard of rugby here


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    No offload on there. But better work from Leinster the last few minutes.

    Also no knock on there either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,210 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Handling letting us down same as last week.

    It's not as bad as it was last week at all thankfully. If we can keep this up then we might see a few things clicking. It's been a lot better the last few minutes.

    how long has Ross left on his contract?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Ref is a farce. Use it means nothing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    Ref telling them to use it, they ignore it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    How is he giving them the penalty after telling them to use it multiple times?

    What is the point of saying "Use it" if you're not going to make them use it?

    It might not be Ross, it might be Triggs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,210 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    If Ross isn't holding his own in the scrum then he shouldn't be on the pitch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,972 ✭✭✭captbarnacles


    Eh use it use it use it...ok don't have a penalty

    Moore and Furlong offer far more outside of scrums. And might offer more in them too

    And might not. Generally the power comes from the locks so if we're being driven backwards on that side it's every bit as likely that it's down to Triggs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,210 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Tbh I don't think we've improved on last week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Like others have said what is the point of yelling use it several times and letting them do nothing and then give a penalty?

    You call use they must use it, not when they feel like it.


  • Administrators Posts: 54,091 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Calling "use it" when the dominant team in the scrum has the ball at their 8 is daft anyway. Be really dumb to penalise a team for not using it there, they are on top.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    It could be a lot worse than 6-3. Bath had a good bit of dangerous possession, but Leinster seem to have stopped them being as effective in the last 20. Possibly could have had a try too, so it's not all bleak.

    3 points is nothing, if Leinster come out firing in the second half, a win is there.


    It's so harsh on McGrath being dropped though, Healy hasn't done anything that McGrath couldn't do better- McGrath is arguably the form player in the country atm.

    All the penalties have been called on Healy though?

    True, but then why is he calling for them to use it? I know refs are being encouraged to get the game going from the scrum but that's just ridiculous. The problem isn't the penalty, which was coming. The problem is him called for Bath to use it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Dogged game. They need to get some territory and force mistakes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    Looking forward to Moore and McGrath

    Well I mean theyve been called for wheeling, that isnt something necessarily called against one person

    It's usually the tighthead that though that causes a wheel isn't it ?

    Bath also have 2 of the biggest 2nd rows in England in Attwood and Hooper. Twice they've left healey on the outside...he can't let that happen

    Why is it a problem ? Is that not exactly what he should do ?
    Call for them to play it as he should. And then, rather than penalise them when they dont, disregard it since they had a penalty advantage that they did not gain from. It seems logical to me.

    No. If a team are obviously on top and heading for a penalty why should they not be allowed to continue to march forward with the ball?

    Why should he do it ? He's got no business telling a team what they should do unless there's an onus on them to do it. If there's an onus on them to do it and they don't then it's an infringement.

    The penalty for wheeling was on Healy, referee clearly called it.

    That one looked like Ross though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Need a new front row on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,905 ✭✭✭yosser hughes


    9-3

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,661 ✭✭✭Crimsonforce


    Front three getting minced, couple that with cronins gammy throws.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07
