European Rugby Weekend, April 30th

[fishfoodie]

Big weekend of Rugby ahead; starting with Tigers V Ulster

[fishfoodie]

That's a pity; it was a lovely try otherwise.

[fishfoodie]

It's just occurred to me that there's a real risk of cataclysmic event during this match

If Ben Youngs comes on; while Cooney is also on the pitch; it would be like SH Matter & Anti-Matter colliding

[Torquemada 1420]

This as sh*t by Youngs. Had already given up the points with the pen that close.

Now give up the points and whatever happens in next 10.

Yeah; it's increasing being said by commentators, how teams are better off, just giving up the score, & staying with the full complement on the pitch; but I guess its easy to say when you aren't, on the pitch, & in a game state of mind.

[Torquemada 1420]

LMAO. Genge throws ball in 90degrees sideways and Gauzere pings Ulster.

[Torquemada 1420]

Too easy. Unless Leicester slow Cooney down, this could be a massacre.

It's not even that he's fast; he mixes the slower, more measured, when the forwards are inside; & then hits the turbo when the tiger defense gets pulled in; & ulster spin it out wide in a few, fast, crisp passes.

Agree. Just shown ruck speeds
- Ulster 2.4 secs
- Leicester 4.2 secs
go figure!!!

And Youngs to come

[fishfoodie]

that's the second saver tackle Cooney has had to do on Nadolo too

[Tichtheid]

Ulster the better side so far, by a fair margin too.

[fishfoodie]

Nasty collision; but you can't blame Nandolo for it

[Torquemada 1420]

Well I guess they slowed Cooney down.

[Torquemada 1420]

Fwd pass in that build up?

{EDIT} Yup. Ulster won't like that. Not good officiating.

Getting hit in the mush by a fist like a Christmas ham will do that to ya ....

[Torquemada 1420]

Gauzere riding the micks here. Missing knock on and fwd passes galore. Hope Leinster get the same treatment on Sunday.....

[Tichtheid]

Great fightback from Tiggers

[Torquemada 1420]

Guazere gives that not straight and it was a fraction of Genge's 1st half banana.

[Torquemada 1420]

Great fightback from Tiggers

Gauzere is having a one eyed effort but shocking how badly Ulster have fallen off without Cooney.

It looked like Ulster were getting away with clearing out way beyond the ball in the first half.

I don’t really have a dog in this fight beyond wanting Matt Scott to show up well.

It’s quite entertaining

Me neither but Leic 1st try had a blatant fwd pass and 2nd one had a huge knock on.

[Tichtheid]

Game on

[fishfoodie]

Love a good 1st phase try

[Torquemada 1420]

Ulster 23

{EDIT} And seals their exit.

[fishfoodie]

Really disappointing 2nd half from Ulster; & Tigers get the rewards for just upping their intensity; & playing smarter.

That just killed my chance of globally topping the FR comp.

[ASMO]

Toulouse v Bordeaux-Begles might be a damp squib given the covid impact it has had on Bordeaux. Looking forward to Medard making Torq rage and froth with anger

[ASMO]

You forgot Barnes

His arch nemesis

[sockwithaticket]

2 French teams and terrible weather does not a good game make. In other words, this is shite.

[sockwithaticket]

Yellow really ?

It was about as obvious a deliberate knock as you'll see.

[ASMO]

Weather really helping Bordeaux, the great leveller

[ASMO]

Medard drops an easy high ball in his own 22

[Torquemada 1420]

Got it.

And f**k off Merde-ard.

[Slick]

It wasn’t that bad a first half.

Jailebert was sensational given the conditions

[Torquemada 1420]

He's a mile ahead of Ntamack.

[ASMO]

Toulouse 2 scores ahead now

[Torquemada 1420]

You can't give Dupont that kinda unguarded space. Fatal.

[ASMO]

Medard passing to the invisible man
