Now what really happened at half time ? Did the players throw the gameplan down the toilet and just play what was in front of them or did Les fire them up, I reckon the first option

They should have flushed down Kiss as well.Rooster wrote:My thought is correct then, gameplan down toilet just requires a flush and not words.

Wonder what would have happened at FT if the first half had been repeated? There were a few boos on the terrace at HT.

Could you point me to the bit where I said we where brill there Jackie.. I can't seem to see it.. I did point out that in the 2nd half our very callow, young back row did well against a much more experienced Munster one

Re: Ulsterboys V The Munstermen
Morning, win never in doubt, pity we didn't get the bonus point, anyway I said we would get a win, a win we got , the pack in the second half with the two additions made a difference, set piece again was awful at times , this part of the game is NOT Kiss's responsibility , Scrum coach was water boy, I did not once see him go to the pack as a group anytime when it was struggling ?
Big Diddies, struggled and I was surprised at that.
So Leinster up next I expect a close game, but sadly a losing bonus point also.
Seven years coming up, I would like the media to sit down with the CEO and do a hard fast Q+ A, without time for him to spin his poo. But that won't happen.
On the game, some of the fans are a disgrace, personal abuse to players is unacceptable, and husbands if you can't control your wives with too much Fizz in them, leave them at home, they ruin the atmosphere with their incoherent brad pitt.
Dublin here I come .

Liz.... you should put yourself forward as a scout because UR seem to have an inability to actually sign a prop who can prop.. maybe Moore is the answer to all our prayers.

Re: Ulsterboys V The Munstermen
Quite a few left after the 40th minute. Definitely more elbow room in the second half. Don't think I've ever heard a more muted rendition of SUFTUM than at the start of the second.

What will Hond get over..lethargy and lack of ability?
Cave proved a point last night and Kiss needs to eat crow and go.

Re: Ulsterboys V The Munstermen
The first half was insipid. It was a competition amongst the forwards to see who could be the most static when receiving the ball. Munster will lap that up all day long. They could put two or three in the tackle without stretching their line and likely turn us over. It wasn't until the second half when we started carrying in pods that inroads were made. Deysel had a bit more space too and made a good bust through the line.
The backs looked pretty good I must say. Cave-haters are quiet today. I think with Stockdale, Lyttle and Gilroy as a back three and Ludik in there too, we can wave goodbye to Charlie and save an absolute bomb. The one handed take and spin from Gilroy to finish the grubber from Cave was sublime.
We have real issues at LH prop. Black and Herbst did well in the scrum when they came on but we have seen both getting mullered at other points in the season. We have to explore other options.

Re: Ulsterboys V The Munstermen
You have got to love the Munster 5 metre line outs
It's a 3 card +1 +1 shuffle
Three cards are the Jumper, first in the line out, and last in the line out.
The Jumper lines up on the thrower ( +1 ), the first and last in the line out a small pace behind the jumper. The thrower then moves in line with the first and last players and quickly throws to the Jumper . the track of the ball being through the first towards the opposition tail .
Thus the throw in, fundamentally, is a forward pass from touch to the Jumper.
The Lifter ( the second +1 ) then moves in front of the jumper when bring him to ground
Then any opposition player attempting to bind on to the jumper appears to be coming in from the side , thus guaranteeing a second bite at the maul if the first fails.
The ref fell for it every time last night in the first half.
My feeling on the Munster defensive 5 metre line out is that get in line quickly, before the opposition lining up,on the thrower thus ensuring any throw will appear crooked or may be easily disrupted by a jumper.

Re: Ulsterboys V The Munstermen
I'm not a Cave hater but defensively the power horse last night was McCloskey with his tackle in the corner ( NB McCloskey was inside centre not outside centre )
Secondly the Munster trys were all forward set piece plays not back breaks requiring covering back by the centres .
So while Cave played reasonable well in attack and provided the wings with opportunities with a couple of well timed passes and took his try well and milked the crowd ,he did not have as great a game as many think he had . That said it was definitely an improvement on ,the fast declining, Tommy Bowe
