Fair play, maybe the tries are worthy of mention then.

[HammerTime]

McCann and Stockdale playing v well.

What are we doing.

[StandUp]

Are we still brill?

[HammerTime]

Marcus Rea AWOL for both those trys.

[StandUp]

Our defensive shape after a few phases is ridiculous.
Whatever sh!te has built up in Bells desk should be deposited outside the main entrance and he should be manhandled from the premises, with the gate hitting him very hard on the way out.

Been a bit of a mixed bag today, some good work at the breakdown. It would have needed an excellent tackle for the first one to be fair, but that's what you need from your openside.

[StandUp]

Beaker’s tackling technique is horrendous. He is going to get badly hurt one of these days.

[So It Is]

Marcus Rea AWOL for both those trys.

He looked shot for the 3rd try. He has never been particularly quick but looked knee deep in treacle for that one.

O'Toole with crutches at the sideline. Did people see what happened?

[CIMANFOREVER]

Sure we don't need any depth at Tighthead according to some experts ffs - JTA surplus

O'Toole with crutches at the sideline. Did people see what happened?

It happened when he was trying to charge down a box kick. No contact at all with anyone or anything but the pitch. Very similar to Martinez for Man Utd last night who was running with the ball before going down with what has subsequently been confirmed as a broken metatarsal.

[StandUp]

Stewart, O’Connor and Cooney all blaming Ulsters defence in their interviews.
Donger Bell should be given the rounds of the changing room before being forcefully ejected from the premises.

But but but...no one else could do better with this setup. Plus 99 was a fluke so don't even think about it..

I'd been one of the ones wanting Rea to be in the starting line up, but those missed tackles might show why he hasn't been? I think his original fall from grace was after getting run over for a Connacht try in the Sportsground that cost us the game with the last play? At the time I'd thought that was harsh, but it'd been said he knew what he needed to work on and that might be his fitness? Complete speculation on my part, but he looked very good in the first half, but suspect from their last two tries. The coaches will have a better idea with the GPS data?

I'm also not sure what happened to EOS. He looked very immobile before going off, but not sure what caused it.
