Mexico Vs Ulster ultimate epic super build up thread.

Clegg

Mick Kearney on for Leavy. Fardy to the backrow.

Must be a knee or hammer or something. Probably the World Cup gone too.

FrancieBrady

Sad to see

Utah_Saint

Bt just called it an horrific hyper extension....

Squidgy Black

Darren Cave had a good game all considering.

Utah_Saint

They said they won't show replay cause it's that bad...

clsmooth

He was doing well too. Disaster for him.

DDC1990

Jesus injuries building up.

Hope Leavy and Best are ok for Japan.

Clareman

When the All Blacks have a long break in play like this they do pods of 3 passing drills to keep them going, why all teams can't do this I don't understand

Cosmo Kramer

This is awful for Leavy, might not make it back for the World Cup if its a bad knee injury

chupacabra

Very sad for Leavy. Sounds like a very long spell on the sidelines.

mark_jmc

I’d say that’s leavy gone from the World Cup, terrible for him

its_phil

Devastated for Leavy. An incredible player that Ireland and Leinster need.

Doubtful for Leavy, unfortunately..

Hurrache

Looked a forward pass in the lead up.

Utah_Saint

Forward pass from Ulster a few phases back but leinster had a forward pass a few phases before their try

its_phil

Luke Marshall making a comeback like a WWF wrestler returning at the main event of Wrestlemania.

Class

Was that not MILES forward ?

joseywhales

pass to stockdale was def forward

razorblunt

Ah Cooney.

Lovely try.

lbc2019

This is a cracking match

ScrubsfanChris

What a dreadful kick

Squidgy Black

Big miss from Cooney there.

Pussyhands

Larmour is so average in defence

Inspector Coptoor

Ulster deserve a bit of luck there.
Leinster got away with one too.

Poor strike from John Cooney.

DDC1990

Awful from Cooney. More Points thrown away. (Easy to say from my armchair of course). Looked like a forward pass in the buildup to the try but hard to tell.

It's a classic though.

Utah_Saint

Byrne kicks better when injured

leakyboots

Ringrose having an absolute stinker with the boot

Clegg

Is that Larmour to centre and Reid to 10?

leakyboots

Woeful feed from McGrath

Wegians89

Credit to Ross Byrne there for that kick and wanting to continue

Utah_Saint

There isn't any rugby players left....dropping like flies here

razorblunt

Reidy is so lightweight for Ulster. Carries go nowhere like a junior player up with the big boys.

razorblunt

World rugby teams watching this for September delighted with The Irish lads knocking 7 shades of shîte out of each other.

Presumably joe is watching catchphrase or taking the dog for a walk.

lbc2019

No surrender from Ulster

eigrod

Stockdale will have nightmares about this for a very long time.

Utah_Saint

How often do you seen leinster crawling to the end like that

Pussyhands

Harsh lesson for stockdale. Feel bad for the lad.

Clegg

Maybe not showing it on TV, but Stockdale's on his haunches on the 10 metre line with head in hands.

Stheno

Job done fair play to Ulster

its_phil

Great game and hard luck to Ulster.

Stockdale is a great player and will be one of the Irish greats but looking at him after the game, he’ll be beating himself more than any other supporter could.

ScrubsfanChris

DDC1990

I feel sick for Stockdale.

dregin

Unbelievable game. Above international standard. Great win.

Clegg

The last few minutes was reminiscent of one of Munster's Heineken Cup victories. Regain the lead and play turtle ball to stop the opposition winning the ball back.

leakyboots

Leinster playing the sort of puke rugby at the end that people gave out about Munster doing in the '08 final, it didn't befit the occasion I thought

Absolute humdinger of a game I thought

its_phil

Fair play to Ross Byrne. That took stones

chupacabra

Nights like tonight make Irish rugby better as a whole. Fair play to both sides. Gutted for Leavy.

Utah_Saint

Stockdale did not lose that for us. Don't think It would've changed result. Leinster would have responded

Cosmo Kramer

Great game - just hoping there's a "not as bad as first feared" injury update on Leavy in the next few days.

Squidgy Black

Fair fúcks to Ulster.

Everyone wrote them off going into this, expecting a drubbing. Absolutely ferocious defence, some good moments in attack, and serious commitment from players like Cave, McCloskey and Treadwell. Gutted for Best and Leavy.

Serious reality check for Leinster, we're not at the levels we were last season and aren't in great form.
