Ulster v Connacht

[allezlesverres]

Bye Dan.

[fermain]

poor discipline, lack of aggression, no physicallity
and it's been this way for some time despite their league success.

[Dave]

We are a shambles. Our issue tonight has been individual performances.

The coach has to be held equally accountable for failing to put the fear of bejaybers in them.

Only Stewart and 50% Hume have performed tonight.

Even if we pull a rabbit out of the hat, Dan has to go.

Baloucoune had a few moments.

[Bart S]

Defence terrible and attack non-existent. Results have regressed. Overall players have regressed.

Dan has to go

[thecrouch]

feck off Dan

[Hawkeye]

Ref may have been bad(he was) but Ulster should have had the intelligence to know how to work him. Change in pace when Tom Stewart came on? Agree?

[fermain]

no, no, I won't have a bad word said about Andrew Brace....

[Dave]

So soft. Weak as pi$h. Connacht were fantastic. Everything we were not. There isn't an Ireland squad player in that Ulster side. The scoreline flattered Ulster.

The laziness around the breakdown is criminal. The tackling was some of the worst I've seen. Billy just fcuk off now. Marmion going through players at will. It's a joke.

The brill brigade can take a day off. We are tom kite.

[Bart S]

Finishing 2nd in the league means nothing given the weakened teams for a number of matches and ulster's relatively low levels of international call ups.

Oh...and if any player seriously thinks ulster are close to winning anything when they say it they are seriously deluded

Oh and well done Connacht. Deserved winners

[3put]

Obviously we were hopeless but the guy who won the last turnover was on his knees ffs!!

[Jetstream]

We were shiiite. But it is even harder to accept defeat when you have a gobshiiite like Brace dictating affairs. In the last 10 minutes we were camped in the Connacht 22 and had wave after wave of attack that ended on 2 occasions with penalties against Ulster. Amazingly in all the phases Connacht never infringed.
I think if Dan has any honour and I would like to think he is a man of honour he will be handing in his letter. Hopefully Cunningham, Bell, Petrie and a few others will also be penning their resignations. There is only so much we can take.

[thecrouch]

If Connacht weren't so dodgy they'd have won that by 20 points easily.

Honestly that was as disgraceful as it's been.

[Bart S]

Exactly. Ulster were lucky to still be close in the end.

I Remember ulster losing at home to Northampton 2nds in 2013 I think. Nothing went ulster's way and it was just one of those days. This was very different. The best team by a mile won

[Bart S]

We talk about mental weakness but today the physical weakness was even worse.

[Hawkeye]

So much for home advantage. The 16th man (woman or other) only came to life for the last 5minutes. Where is the hostile cauldron of old? As has been said here before it has turned too much in to a night out for a gossip with your mates with the match as a secondary distraction. “Ooo we’re off to the Ulster match tonight. Who are they playing? Oh some team from down south.”
