Been saying it for years, starting to doubt it.

Stay strong, the future is bright. I would rather be in our position than there’s relying on referees to see them through as tonight. Their hype gets them that but it will break soon. Let’s give our youth a go. They will not be tainted by the last 10 years of losing to these lot so what have we got to lose

But Leinster 2nds once again excellent when it mattered and Ulster not able to step up when it mattered.

Role on Bic Biro. They don’t stand a chance on the rainbow cup as Leinster are in it.

I hope the Lions and the Stormers fuking smash them into the dirt.

Is that rainbow cup thing still on? Not sure how it can be if the lions is off

I'm booing at home though

Baloucoune's second try was pure class. Pity the ref and TMO hate rugby. Was watching with a Leinsterman over zoom and he was impressed, thought the ref was a joke as well and effectively killed the game as a spectacle. Refs should have to justify cards and decisions in front of a panel of their peers after games. Franks performance was the worst I've seen in years. Once I saw Eoin McLove running the line I knew we were done for.

Its frustrating but I hope the young guys use this as motivation to keep working hard. We are on the up and better days are ahead as long as we can avoid leinster

That's exactly what it was.

I hope they don't just except it when up in front of the beak, and show that initial contact was to the upper chest/shoulder.

With the Mads one, he said there was mitigation because madigan had jumped just before the tackle. In that case he had lifted himself. If he hadn't done that, instead of head to jaw, it would have been head to cheek. Red all day. No mitigation.

What can we say that we haven't said many times before? How on earth can we begin to produce the stream of quality players that they produce? HOW?

Yes we can produce some great players, but how do they produce so many?

How good is Dan!

Dan is clearly fecked off and rightly so

Loved the comment from Dan - Baloucoune scored two lovely tries ... sorry one try ...

I think we know what he thinks.

Wouldn't be drawn in public about the decisions, but said he had plenty to say in private!

Officials clearly didn't agree with you.

The tournament is a nonsense. Semis are an essential element of a conference system where the 2 strongest teams will sometimes be in the same group. It is debatable whether Munster or Ulster should be in the final but we should have at least been afforded the opportunity to find out.

I don't think it is particularly good for the tournament for a team to potentially lose one game and be eliminated at the group stage.

100%

Albeit now 2 matches - both to the conference winner. Beat all other teams, but still don't make the play-off(s)
