Never in doubt !! They all played well and a great victory. Sexton left four tries behind . Speedsters should run straight.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Could well be oversensitive I suppose. Maybe SA rugby crowds are actually 50% attractive young women.jean valjean wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:52 pmMaybe he only noticed the attractive ones?StandUp wrote:Oversensitive much?solidarity wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:47 pm Looks like we got more turnovers in that match than we got in the whole of the last three seasons. Great to see.
Maybe some of the young lads really will make good.
Agreed about Sexton - really quick but no idea how to use the speed to best efect.
My only gurns this week -
1. SA TV taking every oportunity to show us attractive young women. Just doesn't sit well with the father of two young women to have young women so objectified.
2. The word is deFENCE not DEEfence.
Happy to have nothing else to gurn about
I saw plenty of not so attractive women and plenty of men shown also. I don’t see where the objectification is.

Back to the match, I'm guessing Marshall doesn't like Kok after being handed like that for one of the tries!

We've signed plenty of tools over the years.

Aaron Sexton reminds me a bit of Maxwell a number of years back.
Give him space to run into and he'll do that very quickly and very well.
Put a defender in that space though, and he'll out-think himself and end up running straight into the defender or into touch.
Thinking doesn't seem to be a strong point.

It was a poor effort to handle Kok.Lurgan Lad wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:41 pm Back to the match, I'm guessing Marshall doesn't like Kok after being handed like that for one of the tries!

At least Sexton makes yards quickly the problem fast guys have is they know if they run straight they make it easy for the tackler to target them esp if they don't have a quick variation in pace.
Hence the weave rather than vary pace with a side step
if facing one man you fined the frequently get tackled by a second
I thought he had a good outing
For what appeared to be a ramshackle selection a very pleasing result obtained by resting a few players who will have to run out against leinster in a couple of weeks.

He's not the biggest kok, but he is a real handful and loves to get stuck in which you don't often see for one that size.

Is he on the wrong wing? Right handed and constantly carrying with the right, leaving him open to being stripped instead of transferring to the outside arm.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:11 pm Aaron Sexton reminds me a bit of Maxwell a number of years back.

Not instinctive; overthinks as Capn says-I guess because he came to rugby late from athletics?
Better today, but doesn't convince. Would prefer more upper body strength too.
Exterminate all rational thought

Moore is such a smart player. Stewart, Sheridan and McCann young bulls. How is Jones near the squad with these two capable of playing 6?
I thought Flannery inventive and definitely worth persevering with.
Mcilroy caught stone cold shooting up for Sharks last try. Shocker

He didn’t come late to rugby, he played all through school.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 11:20 pmIs he on the wrong wing?

No excuse for basic flaws like wrong hand carrying

Was his time not split between both and at one stage athletics was a considered option? Either way I agree he has poor basic skills for this level, apart from a decent boot.ljsulster wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 11:30 pmHe didn’t come late to rugby, he played all through school.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 11:20 pmIs he on the wrong wing?
