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

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

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.

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

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

And Youngs to come

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

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

Fwd pass in that build up?
{EDIT} Yup. Ulster won't like that. Not good officiating.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

It wasn’t that bad a first half.
Jailebert was sensational given the conditions
