Re: The Leinster 'A' Thread

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but why is this game on at 5pm? I'd love to go but there's no way I can make it there that early. If they want a bit of support for these games surely they could make them a bit more accessable? Agree completely, even 6pm would give me a fighting chance of making...

Re: Ulster v Leinster

Berne at 10 costed us that game. No direction from him, he's not an outhalf. Still could have won when we performed better in the 2nd half, also defence wasn't its usual self and Ulster gained easy yards in the 1st half. bang on, we didnt play the conditions at all. Berne should have been pinging t...

Re: Ulster v Leinster

The wind was horrendously bad so cant really slate Berne. Heaslip and Drico were very good. It looks like Ross has put on weight :( not good. Amazing why nobody has mentioned MOK? FFS everytime he got the ball he ran into the opposition and went down quicker than a Bangkok Brazzer, offering nothing...

Re: Ulster v Leinster

It's easy to blame the defeat on Berne, and certainly if he'd nailed even one of his first half penalties we could have won. However, he must have been playing to the management's gameplan. I don't think he kicked the ball once from hand, and we constantly looked to move the ball wide. The fact is, ...

Drico yes he played well but DArcy and Heaslip were not convincing by any means, Kearney was sound as usual but not a night for him to run.
I disagree, Heaslip played really well, got through loads of work.

Re: Sky Sports Highlights Show

I just think any half-decent journalist could pull it all together from web reports and so on, there's a load of sources available. I doubt his disapproval of the programme is because of that, but who knows, maybe you're right.

Re: Sky Sports Highlights Show

And then at the end they have the 'headlines' to recap something you've only watched 5 minutes earlier. Rubbish. They've starting doing this at the end of the Rugby Club too. I mean we have attention spans, it's not like we're Americans!!! :wink: Well what if you missed when they show it at the sta...

Re: Sky Sports Highlights Show

They're following a familiar path. They used to show an excellent Super 12 (as it was ) highlights programme before drastically reducing it.

This just furthers my opinion that rugby is poorly officiated, even at the top table and at the committee level.
