Leinster v Ulster Sat 3rd Dec 19:35 Viaplay Sports 1

[HammerTime]

Disgraceful second half from ulster. No killer instinct whatsoever. Negative negative negative. brad pitt their pants once again.

[John_e_boy]

We haven't played since McIlroy scored our 3rd try

Who is to blame? I can't look beyond the players on the pitch. Coach has no input in our on-field demise.

[UlsterNo9]

Has Doak hit a box kick that hasn't gave them a mark in their 22?

[Yoda]

Ref trying to even things up

Lowe should have had a card for elbow to cooney’s head, decided it was nothing cos if foul play it would have been another red while timoney off for a tackle after ball carrier broke away from maul

Will struggle to win from here, hope I’m wrong

[UlsterNo9]

Drop goal Billy, edge us in front

[jean valjean]

Our lack of ability to play field postion will cost us in the end.

[John_e_boy]

We are our own worst enemies.

This game was for the taking at half time

[StandUp]

What a shameful capitulation. Not for the first time.
How many times have we seen them build a lead and then switch off?
Maybe this is why Ulster players don’t get the same international opportunities. They are mentally weak and can’t finish the job.
Doak and Burns made absolutely no attempt to control this game. Aimless kicks and shovelling on sh1te ball time after time.
What a joke.

Agreed - just used the capitulation word here too

Shocking 2nd half

Sums up so much of what I was going to say. It’s so much like the Munster game away last year where we went against 14 and the approach was to try not to lose rather than playing to win. Absolutely pathetic all round.

[John_e_boy]

Shambles. Absolute Tom Kite.

I'm ashamed

[fermain]

Neither Doak or Burns are captains. No leaders on the pitch

[eeyore]

If Cooney leaves at the end of the season then we're screwed with Doak and Burns controlling things

[StandUp]

Failing to control things.

[jean valjean]

Only having a kicking game off 9 is a problem. Box kicks are ok for getting out of a tight spot but not a way to pin teams back. Burns cannot kick out of hand unless it is a dink and we struggle to get field position. If your 10 can't kick them you need a 13 or 15 to do it. Has anyone ever seen Hume kick a ball?
