Any chance you could put them right, Andy?

What did Barnsey do wrong by them?
Toulouse's first try there was a massive clear out in-the-side by them in the ruck just before the try which was let go.
The red card was a red all day long and the next one.
Their disallowed try was a clear knock on.
They howled at Bobby's intercept when their own man went down and it was they who played on. I thought Bobby was going to get tackled by their physio.
With Ulster eyes on, he let them dubiously disrupt the line out and gave penalties against Ulster while letting Toulouse off for the same offence.

We could have won much more but being optimistic I think a narrow margin suits us better as we shouldn't get cocky. Also lots to work on to keep us focused and honest.

If Ireland had fielded a few more Ulster men, we could have had a Grand slam and denied the French one!

A blind man on a galloping horse in the middle of the night could see that . . . :stir: :stir:

It is one of the reasons why going down to 14 men when the man binned is a wing is not a totally serious threat .

You revert to a back two with an addition of a back row in the mid field when defending a set piece scrum or line out Set scrum of 8 either 7 or 8 bind loosely and exit back rather than forward as soon as the scrum half passes.

Losing a wing denys attacking options making it slightly harder to win ,rather easier to lose, there is a difference . the disruption when you lose an out half or scrum half or front row is greater because those positions create a substitution which is the equivalent of two men from the original selection making a win much more uncertain and nearly guaranteed lost match because the pack is down to 7 against 8 . substitutions are avoided if the wing is carded.
Within this carapace of skepticism there lives an optimist
