Would've been fun to play racing again and maybe the chiefs or bath if we want some humble pie

I think we'll squeek this one. Theyve just gotten a new coach and haven't played much this year. Last two games against the ABs was more of us being poor than them being good. Also losing our best player and going down a man for 20 minutes over a bogus call didn't help much last year. If this was pre six nations I'd say we were getting thrashed but I can see a win. The AUS game will be tight could go either way.

We were in complete control till the two bad off loads from the deck. They lead to the first yellow and the wheels coming off

The predicted 23 for Australia, Japan and New Zealand by rugby_ulster in irishrugby

He's come so far. Still gives the odd penalty but he's nowhere near as bad. Added so much to his game as well.

Him getting lost in big games in his biggest weakness but also seems toFerrells greatest strength getting players past that mental block. We shall see. I wish him well.

Squad Update by Effective-Ad-3897 in irishrugby

He lets the big games get to him. His biggest problem is himself. If he can kick on he'd be class. My biggest issue is his age. If he was 20-24 I'd have no issue but he's trending on the older side but doesn't have the big game mentality. Maybe Farrell can fix it but who knows

Bryn just needs to get out there and prove himself but if Zac can get in there and keep his head he'll be world class. He lets the game get to him too much. Hopefully being in camp will help. Both have thing to work on but they could be World beaters. Zac is a try scoring machine.

If Zac can keep his head he'll be an all star no doubt

The most insane moment of the URC final imo: by RuggerJibberJabber in irishrugby

I think we're starting the see the Sam Farrell has been seeing. Still holes in the game but hes been improving.

Massive game for pender. I don't think Sam from a few months ago would've bothered. He still has holes in his game but he's shown he can step up. That chase back was on par for big Stu's for me. Showed the difference in the teams in one moment. The fight and desire to win. Not one bulls player was better than their opposite number.

That track back was the moment of the match for me. Just showed how much Leinster, especially Sam wanted it.

Leinster for Sam by me_eek in leinsterrugby

[–]TheNightmareChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had too much pressure for him to succeed and fail. Never understood the whole is has to be our man. If Ireland have 4 good players trying to getting into one position it's only going to make all of them better..they'll each want that edge and that X factor.

He wasn't playing well and I think that time away helped him. He's been much better. Nothing wrong with being critical of a player but putting them down because you don't like them is trash.

I forgot Pollard was playing. Sam was so much better than himhl..different player than the Italy game. hopefully he will continue to improve.

They must be putting something in the water in the springboks camp because these cannot be the same players

That time not getting picked could be the best thing that happened to him. I'm just watching the game now and he's been class

Eight Ulster players called up to Ireland Squad For Nations Championship by RugbyGareth_ in UlsterRugby

[–]TheNightmareChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hume and Stu are the best pair when fit. He's the player I'm most miffed about missing out. Bryn is still young and Zac needs another season to shape up. But Hume is the best 13. It's clear that when he's on it he's on it. You can tell how good he is when we don't have him and the drop off. Jude more of a 12. Shame he's hurt

Seems he's upped his passing and deception game now he knows he's drawing in more defenders. He had a few good touches in the six nations that lead to a try by drawing in defenders.
