Ulster v Munster match thread

Shehal

I wonder does Frank Murphy feel he was generous to Munster in the first half so is trying to even things up this second half? Some of those Ulster turnover decision's were...VERY generous...

Shehal

Ahhhh so NOW rolling into the 9 is a penalty?!

He's ... not great. Too many better backrow options.

Lost the ball there by not taking the tackle

razorblunt

Will there be a ruck where Edogbo won't be held on to or tackle past it?

Blackheath

Some tackle by Nash

Eoinbmw

Rib gone in that tackle!

MaddChris

Both Frisch and Kendellen having games to forget.

awec

The main reasons ulster are still in this are Kendellen and Frisch.

They are brutal.

Shehal

Frisch needs to be hooked now, single handily ruined 3 different attacking opportunities this game with careless knock on's, quite clear his head isnt in the game...

clsmooth

Lovely hit by Nash. Cut him in half. Been disappointed with Munster’s back play. Crowley has had some nice touches but hasn’t got the backline moving yet. Not helped by Frisch dropping the ball regularly. Is that 3 knock ons from him so far?

awec

Edogbo off, IMO he completely ran out of puff after 30 mins.

Eoinbmw

In fairness to frisch that last pass was awfull

Clegg

Munsters work at the breakdown has been very sloppy.

ElisaAtWar

as a Connacht fan I am neither supporting Munster or Ulster but the level of officiating is just dreadful.

Burkie1203

No arms tackle on Henderson there

Eoinbmw

Pass a mile forward

ElisaAtWar

with Frank, I have always found he tends to play for the team that is behind in the match, so he can keep it interesting. And that should never be the call of the referee

budhabob

Forward pass in that play.

awec

Murphy is awful.

Pretty sure that should have been a pen to Munster in the line out for contact on the arm.

And that was forward.

MaddChris

Interesting thst neither team is kicking long, apart from kick offs, nearly every kick is contestable or there abouts.

Eoinbmw

Are the touch judges just for show!

MaddChris

Bullsh*t that pass was backwards.

Clegg

Munsters lineout has been poor all season. Benetton did a number on it a few weeks ago and now Ulster have taken it apart.

Shehal

What's the point of a TMO if a blatantly forward pass like that wont even be looked at. Murphy seems determined to even things up after the first half and isnt even trying to hide it at this point.

Eoinbmw

Very poor quality game all round!

leakyboots

Was about to post after he nabbed Doak that's why Casey is ahead of him... then he knocks on at the base 😞

Tommybojangles

This is poor stuff

leakyboots

Looked harsh on Archer there, ball was out, no?

Blackheath

Wilson looks a strong boy

MaddChris

Another Frisch highlight

Eoinbmw

Ref doesn't know what he is at!

AdamD

Just call it a draw, go home and forget this game ever happened.

Another mad decision

MaddChris

High quality stuff from both sides

What is Cave smoking?

sioda

Absolutely ridiculous call from Murphy

Burkie1203

Ulster fan's booing. Lol

Shehal

Munster have successfully thrown away their 11 point lead after 30 minutes of trying. Can they now wake up please.

leakyboots

Not sure what the fans are booing for there

ElisaAtWar

and that was a perfectly valid try for Ulster. Murphy you are a total disgrace

awec

Tonight is the first I’ve ever heard of Scott Wilson tbh but I love him already.

He took the throw ahead of the 5m mark, that's where the lineout would have been from, no? Doesn't matter if the ball went out by the flag. Immaterial now, Ulster rumble over

Eoinbmw

Feckin tank!

Locke_Lamora

I love how Henderson went straight to Scott Wilson to celebrate there. The pressure came through the loose head but he’s as proud as us to see a young Ulster prop not collapse on engage

AdamD

What an impact

MaddChris

Knocked back by an Ulster hand but why not give the scrum to Ulster...

FrancieBrady

Should be a canter home for Ulster now. Munster’s challenge seems done

Shehal

Munster must be saying to themselves "how many chances do we need to give you for you to finally punish us?".

And finally Ulster get the memo.

inbloom427

ULLLLLLSSSTSRTRERREERREEEERRRRRRRRR! Dominant

Clegg

Another brutal Munster lineout.

leakyboots

No lineout, no scrum... we're under the cosh here!
