BP win over Munster what's the problem?

Well lets start with a masterclass at 13 supplied by a 13 playing at 13, who was very lucky to get past Kiss' determination to keep him off.

Then we went up to 15 men in the second half when Dave Ah Dave left the building for a pie transplant. What a waste of a shirt.

Rea put himself about, JJ couldn't kick shyte off a shovel and we needed a brain fart from a former Ulsterman to get us fired up and hit the odd ruck.

Our own ruck inspection is second to none. No latching, beaten at nearly every breakdown in the first half.... Appalling.

Kiss im sure will bat away the noise with his 5point Patronis Charm. But he really does look clueless.

McCall going off helped as well. John Ryan destroyed him, splitting him and Herron with ease. He had no answer.

McCall looked like a 6th former. We have major issues at loosehead prop.

That was an absolute shocker. Worse than Connacht.
good to see Sammy still hasn't forgotten that he's an Ulsterman.
Our pack are totally under-powered and without a competitive pack, our backs cannot function.

Diddies has lost his mojo since he went from a FF cup to a DD.

Ulster needed Munster down to 13 to grab the initiative....15 v 15, Munster would’ve won the game, once Holland went off they lacked leadership which helped. Thought CL was a class act, and nice having 2 dangerous wingers on the pitch, which him and DC unleashed in space. Showed once again how poor our prop resources are, flankers grew into the game nicely, deysel again nothing special. Good result, entertaining, but we’ve seen these before, and not kicked on from them.

Deysel is just a hard bugger with a limited skill set. He's a poor man's P3.

A very poor version. Poor injury record, and nothing special carrying inside (which P3 was excellent at). The only game he looked decent carrying was when he was 1or2 out, and MC was doing the carrying inside.

I thought it was very interesting that with 90 seconds to go and the result looking relatively secure, the cams cut to the box.....JG did not look a happy bunny.

How good to have a smart 13 who can distribute to his wingers and has an eye for a gap. He did excellently for his own try and put in a lovely kick for Gilroy's first.

Also how long has it been since we didn't concede a try to a backline?

For the last try he was roaring as loud as Lyttle as well.

Hopefully we'll see McCloskey and Cave v Leinster. I know we are on for a hiding but continuity is important.

Agree with all that except for the kick on bit.
Kick on from a home win over Munster reserves down to 14 men is not exactly a springboard
