Mexico Vs Ulster ultimate epic super build up thread.

I think ultimately Leinster will have too much for Ulster. Don’t think there will be much more than a score in it though. I expect Ulster to really put it up to us, but think our forwards will eventually come out on top.

If you should see a ruggedly handsome rogue sporting a Monthey Rugby shirt and a Leinster beanie (basically supreme understated class), give him a warm Leinster/Ulster/Lunster/random Connacht supporter welcome and say “Welcome home to Ireland Swiwi”.

F*ck that. Typical Irish weather. Thanks to the Molloy clan for suppling a warm Leinster jacket.

ULSTER :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Stockdale will be licking his lips with Adam Byrne in front of him you'd think

laugh

Stupid.

Clegg

Garry wow.

Hospital pass from Byrne, but he had more than enough time to clear it

chupacabra

McGraths passing is so quick

leakyboots

Shocking from Ringrose

laugh

Good response!

Physicality that was missing from Ireland at ruck time.

Clegg

Ross 'Runnig Game' Byrne.

leakyboots

Brilliant phase work from Leinster there, sounds like a decent atmosphere in Landsdowne for once!

Squidgy Black

Great response, we should be able to get back on top and control this now.

Cracking first 12 mins.

Diabhal Beag

Great first 15 minutes here

Clegg

Two steals on the deck for Leinster so far.

FrancieBrady

Getting cagey now after that blistering start

leakyboots

The amount of crooked lineouts not being called this season is ridiculous

Squidgy Black

Best gone, looked devastated

Clegg

Ahh I didn't want to Best go off like that.

How does a leinster knock on get them a penalty?

Because Ulster were offside and the ref played advantage?

Healy is always good for a dumb penalty each game

Raymond Murray

A stream for those that need it.

Cant remember the last time i saw Ulster this aggressive

Utah_Saint

Leinster playing like Ireland at the minute

Squidgy Black

Ulster are absolutely ferocious in defence. Haven't seen anything close to it from them all season.

Clegg

Leinster are actually playing quite well, but making errors at the points scoring phases.

FrancieBrady

Great stuff, Ulster are getting under their skin. Can they keep it up though

eagle eye

Leinster haven't settled into the game yet. Lots of nerves around the place. Ulster have nothing to lose and are playing like it. I think Leinster need a good long successful drive to get them settled.

Clegg

RoL ragdolled but still forced the knock on.

ScrubsfanChris

I really hope the nonsense of sound effects and "hype" music after every score never slips into the Munster games. Its cringe worthy.

accensi0n

That was a great line kick by ringrose.

Clegg

Some great kicks in the last few minutes. First from Ringrose and them from Byrne.

Clegg

Only thing SoB has done all half is give away a silly pen.

Leavy on pls.

Utah_Saint

Good tackle McGrath

Diabhal Beag

This has been immensely enjoyable

eigrod

Ding dong battle so far. Would be great if it stayed like this for the 80.

Aidric

Ulster attack is fluid as fùck. Deserve to be in the lead.

I've greatly admired McCloskey this season, he has unreal strength but seems to have slotted into a real leadership role with Ulster and some of his distribution play is quality. Having a big impact today, I'll stop complimenting him now!

Did you have that one ready in your clipboard?

Really depends on Ulster and if they can keep going at this level

Clegg

Leinster the better team I think.

Ulster's defence has been very good and forcing Leinster mistakes.

I hope Leinster don't lose, but if we do and Darren Cave is the difference between the teams it will be absolutely hilarious. Having a great game so far, Ulster centres the better that half.

Interesting to see if Ulster can keep this up for 40 more minutes, little separating the teams so far.

Brewster

Great game! Some intensity. Gutted for Rory going off the way he did, only negative to the half. Ulster have the slight wind advantage now. Benches will be key.

leakyboots

Cracking game for the neutral

I'm here (cheers awec) and it's very noticeable. Savage aggression being shown.

Dave_The_Sheep

Leinster better going forward, making a few mistakes at crucial moments, and leaving some kicking points out there. Ulster's defence is the difference at the moment, haven't had much ball,and they're forcing points out of leinster in the leinster half with that intensity. Normally I'd say leinster to pull away in the second half but who knows with a cup derby, and a do-it-for-Rory mentality perhaps.

Pussyhands

Ringrose so over rated!

I've been right about sexton too. Carbery is going to be playing a massive role in the world cup. If not injury, but because of form sexton will be dropped.

Agreed.

Sexton is anonymous today.
