Yea I thought the game just disintegrated in general with replacements from both teams. It often does.BaggyTrousers wrote:Yes Fuzzy and also conceded two tries and made Italy look semi-competitive for 15 minutes.fuzzylogic wrote:Errrr, did we watch the same match?Postby Deraless » Sat Mar 12, 2016 5:29 pm
The subs killed the game really but nice to get a bit of rest for some of the boys for next week's dead rubber.
We made a raft of changes, scored 20+ points, three of our tries from replacements, Cronin and Dillane made some lovely line breaks...
The subs didn't do badly at all, personally I was delighted that the power of the Leinster bench warranted the selection of try scorers Quiff-less & Ferg McFad'n. I think Dearie's point is simply that the raft of replacements just kills/changes the game.
Incidentally Payne's try was a thing of beauty, showed some pace to get to the intercept. Let's hope Ulster get some games out of him and he doesn't develop the mythical "tight hammy", whilst he awaits 3 more caps in the summer.
And finally finally, I don't blame him for it was a split second thing but George North got the ball away before going into touch at the end, could have been the funniest result of all time.
Cronin seems to be a fan fave, perhaps because he likes to stand on the wing waiting for the ball a lot. He makes more line breaks than Rory but then you would if you are rarely at the bottom of a ruck. He has fantastic pace off the mark for a hooker but thon time he made a line-break near half way and had knackered himself to a standatill by the 22 was quite funny. That move also led to a comedy ruck intervention by Jared, showing them bug fellas how to score from close range lol
