Went for Hume but lots of candidates even with the Billy Burns tax.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
Hume was scintillating but honourable mention to entire pack.
Seeing the treacherous cvnt Gibbes shaking his head in desperation was the cherry and the icing on top.
Imagine the score if (the innocent man) Paddy Jackson esq. was pulling the strings

Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
Tough decision. Pack held up well, and Timoney goes from strength to strength.
As does James Hume.
But voted for wee Michael - tackled fearlessly, and at the heart of so much that was good going forward out there today.

Went for Barnesy, our new secret weapon. Not because he favoured us, but because he did everything a coach could possibly expect of him.
Faultless performance.

In areas he did but 2 big decisions I felt he got horribly wrong.John_e_boy wrote:Went for Barnesy, our new secret weapon. Not because he favoured us, but because he did everything a coach could possibly expect of him.

Yellow card was a certain red card.
Hume interception he called advantage over.

Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
I'm still fuming about that awful tackle on Baloucoune. World rugby must find a way to eradicate these tackles with greater punishment. A medic relative was telling me how RB's neck could have been broken. How he could have serious lifelong shoulder issues now. If he doesn't put his arm out his neck would take the brunt. By putting his arm out his shoulder joint takes major trauma whilst still receiving impact on the neck, head and shoulder.
If the laws don't deem this a red card, we have a problem.

Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
The injury was more than likely caused by the 2nd tackler landing on top of RB as he landed on his shoulder. World rugby need to be clear whether one or both tacklers are equally liable. The annoying thing is that RB may not have been injured if the second tackler wasnt there but the red card could have been clearer.

Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
Unfortunately Barnes was correct for the Balacoune tackle, based on the actual laws of the game plus referee directives and not based on a feeling of outrage.
Re: Ulster MOTM vs Clermont
When a player is injured due nature of the deliberate actions of an opponent than ipso facto those actions must be considered dangerous
In the instant of Balacoune one Player lifted his feet above his head and the second drove his shoulder into the ground .
Take a Saturday out one person holds a person while his mate sticks a knife in are both guilty — yes
My believe was his failure to card Herring influenced the failure to red the lifter and the number 5 who drove him down should have got a yellow for failure to hold the Ulster player up despite the fact it was his action which caused the injury
The reasoning being the lift of the legs was the illegal act not the taking the player to ground which would have been acceptable but for the lift
