I could be wrong but from the Memorial Stand it looked like VDM twice got emptied and driven back by their 13. Completely sums our pack up, can't remember the last time an opposition forward gave one of our backs got the chance to do the same. Compare that with Reidy who despite being relatively small for a forward is effective in defence and attack.Big-al wrote:Ulster are not a team, the pack play as individuals and the backs passing is getting worse.
In VDM and Disck we probably have 2 of the softest Saffers in world rugby

Re: Munster game
I have been saying this since we lost to Glasgow at home a couple of years ago after spending most of the second half in their 25 without scoring. But why the hell do we wait for a crisis before working a drop goal attempt and keep the scoreboard ticking over and particularly tonight when the score was 14 5 and we were banging on a closed door.

Not so much banging...

Re: Munster game
That's the smarts I was on about scott.
Think Jannie de Beer v England with 5 drop manufactured goals in the 1999 world cup to dispatch them and forced England to rethink how you could win a game.
Their 2003 wc win followed.
You don't leave an opponents territory without points.
We are the rugby version of Arsenal trying to walk the ball in the net to score a perfect goal.
Get out, get in and get over!!!

Re: Munster game
Wasteful kicking, wasteful over-complication, zero go forward from our pack, we are easy to stop, same crap different week.

It could have been any of them.

5 games on the hop, pushing our absolute luck, yeah sure we'll take the learnings from it and work hard to make sure it doesn't happen next week - question is what feckin week are we talking about??
Not good enough, that loss at home will prove costly in the long run.

Re: Munster game
Harsh on Bowe, I'm not prepared to write him off just yet. The passes he dropped were absolute stinkers, he's been out for a year(?). He'll come good. Paul Marshall on the other hand, when he comes on you know all hope is lost.

Re: Munster game
No ability or organisation at restarts.
No exit strategy.
Instructions to kick the ball in-field rather than to touch.
Instructions to play the ball out of our own 22 and then kick it away.
Instructions for our forwards to stand about in the 3/4 line or in static pods and take the ball standing still.
An out-half who can't line a ball up properly to take a place kick.
A passenger on the right wing.

Re: Munster game
We were beaten by a one dimensional team who simply did what they do best while we splayed passes everywhere and couldn't catch a cold.
