He is injured and should not have played. Rather than skiving as some less than nimble minds have suggested he was actually trying to do the right thing for his team. Sadly it back fired.
well thats fecking dumb, playing an inured player with a fit one on the bench nearly as dumb as describing people who weren't aware of an injury as having "less than nimble minds" - what are we,fecking mind readers? - by that assertion most of the Ulster team are carrying a fecking injury and shouldn't have fecking played. Feck me, I'm off.

Ulster managed to drag Munster down to their level and make it a scrappy game.

Decent LBP given the Ospreys result. Big Stu needs to be at 12. Charlie needs a kick up the derriere.

Huge game in Swansea in 2 weeks. Their form has crashed, you never know.

Munster will need to improve a lot otherwise Sarries will win easy.

Once we went left we were always losing ground and i think ruan decided we are only going backwards from here. Just the usual dumb game management that we have come to expect.

PJ is a tough wee nut but has form for ducking out of positions when a winning field goal is ON.
Something similar happened after 70 minutes last week.

Today instead of getting involved in the ruck that followed the Henderson truck up, He should have known NOW was the moment to set up the back pass catch, slotted right and licked the ball between the sticks.
He'll have to be more vocal next year when he becomes the dominant half back.

Whenever I slotted a drop goal, the chalk of the touch line was the perfect place.

Obviously everything is the coaches fault but fucck me, shouldn't international backs be able to catch a fuccking ball?

A lot of sloppy rugby played by both sides, but Ulster were the sloppier, especially in the handling department, dropping many passes all game.
Poor old Stockdale had a bit of a shocker - he waved the Munster SH through for their first try, and Andrew Conway was running around him at will.
Olding gets worse and worse.
And Piutau - if he were really carring an injury then he should not have been playing.
It's tough to watch your team playing this kind of crap.
Rory Best is still a total warrior and would be my Lions hooker.

Rory played himself out of the Lions.

I can't believe CP is injured tbh. More and more a waste of money, and I wouldn't be sorry to see him go with LK, Doak and Clarke.

Stockdale should've started wing or centre. He's not a fullback regardless of the u20 RWC.
That was a day for Cave or Ludik or both. Maybe even McCloskey and Stockdale 12 and 13. SO was brutal again. Is there something on his mind?

Reidy was magnificent however. We are lucky to have got him for nothing. Who looks more worth £500k?
With a proper back row, he's Henrys successor at 7.

Bizarrely Ulster had a slight edge in the scrums, bar 1 penalty against a much vaunted Munter 5. AOC and Treadwell both turned up. Not as huge a difference up front as we thought. The damage was done 12-15.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ulster beat Ospreys. Olding has regressed. Shame as he has a ton of natural ability.

Feck Sarries. :D

I watch top end national league 2 south rugby when not watching Ulster and the handling is much better.

You can't blame the coaches for some of those howlers today.
