Re: Ulster V Connacht
After seeing Luke last week I'd rather see Bowe @ 13 (Cave 1st preference but not in squad)
Charlie on the wing with Louie @ 15.
Certainly enough to win but we all thought that last week.

Re: Ulster V Connacht
Right, great, super, smashing, lovely. Suppose it should be alright but will anyone have a bit of fight about them this week, Connacht will, that is never in doubt.
More importantly, anyone want to buy a house in Bangor? Mine's on the market, soonest sold, soonest I get to feck outta here and pay passing notice from afar.
SOON.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Delighted, gets O'Connor on the field instead of Diack, stronger ball carrying bigger hits in defence. Will need it in any interprovincial.Dave wrote:Hendo at 6, discuss...
Robbie has good hands, great line out option but we need to dominate from the start and maintain it.

I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: Ulster V Connacht
Sparky did you watch last weeks game the only back seriously trying was Luke Marshall -- Cave, for a change, was missing action . Granted Marshall lost the ball in contact a couple of times but he was trying and defensively was more active than most .
Henderson at 6 reflects the fact that Rea is still green at this level but to be honest as a 6 Henderson is not in his best position his defensive positioning is nearly as bad as Rea's both tend to go to far into the mid field area and get beaten on the inside shoulder by a scrum half.
It could also reflect the fact that Rea has played in nearly every game since the end of August and maybe carrying a few lumps .

Re: Ulster V Connacht
The problem for Luke is that no matter how hard he tries his hands just let him down. Cave didn't have the best day defensively but this was a mere blip in an otherwise defensively solid career. This is a big game for Luke as Les can only ignore Cave for so long.

Rum
I indeed have watched in more than once believe it or not.
Not any easier with drink taken.
I do indeed agree Luke tried his eye strings out.

You want your forwards in the midfield area... you rather have them out wide??
Re: Ulster V Connacht
Not going. Is it on TV?
