    Antoine Dupont will be recognised as the greatest of all time when he retires.

    Ridiculous talent.

    Tough on the kid getting the red, there really was no malice in it, but the technique was dangerous, so no question about it.

    Leinster v Bath is on BT Sports 3, which isn't included in the Sky Sports package. Trying to contact Sky via phone or through their website but just being sent around in circles.

    The Welsh really are a funny bunch.

    always shouting for bigger and better things in this Anglo league only they want. First home European game off the season, first with the crowd, last years champions, big European name, world player of the year come to town and they can’t get near a sell out.

    bur we’re all to believe if it were sale they’d be standing on walls to see.

    Not sure that's grounded.

    If it is then it's a world class finish.

    Don’t think there was downward pressure on the grounding there, no try for me.

    Surely that was a red I have no volume as I'm in a pub but he's lifted balacoune above the horizontal and dumped him on his face! What was the mitigation to yellow?

    As long as Balacoune is good for the 6N it wouldnt be the end of the world. Looking at that though it would be touch and go.

    That was a stupid mistake from Burns and Lowry to give away the penalty and three points

    Lowry always can be relied on to make the wrong decision. He didn't let a ball go over the line and conceded a lineout. He kicked poorly and didn't kick when he needed to. And then gave away that final penalty.

    I'm surprised they dismissed the red so quickly. So you can lawn dart a player, breaking his shoulder, as long as you tip him and someone else minces him into the ground?

    Has a TMO ever been used to determine the proximity of a referee’s whistle to his mouth?



  • #178
    UAEguy2020
    Registered Users Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    But also if you try to determine “would a try have been scored” you’d have to say yes because the ball was grounded!

    Think the Mike Ross/Tom Court game at Twickenham in 2008 had a similar incident

    I think that was a dodgy call to give Timoney the try but IMO a penalty try would not have been unreasonable so meh.

    he had his hand out on the Clermont side for advantage, so a bit dodgy but not the worst call ever.

    Unreal from Ulster. Thought they were goosed on 60mins. Huge scalp, fair play. JJ contender for best player for Clermont barring Penauds 2 tries.

    Barnes you are a disgrace to rugby, he’s knows it’s an eye gouge and ignores it just because he can’t clearly see it 😂

    Ref didn't blow his whistle til after the ball was grounded so it's correct call

    Timoney did score so the idea that a probable try would have been scored wasnt incorrect.

    And even if he didnt lets just say, number 11 has moved his hand towards the face of an opposition player which in rugby is considered a strike and is a penalty anyway.

    You could argue of the away wins only 2 were surprises and even then both games went down to the wire.

    Brilliant by the Ulster men. Nobody would have given them much of a chance at 19-20, with Clermont having all the momentum. Fantastic win. Great start to competition for Irish rugby. Barnes bottled final decision, it was hand to face, enough in this alone to reverse penalty decision. I hope this doesn’t cost Ulster in reverse fixture, and the head to head.

    Great win for Ulster.

    James Hume looks a real classy player. Only a matter of time before he is at 13 for Ireland. He creates out of nothing and super hands.

    Ulster look weak at 10 and the scrum isn't great. Jack McGrath was getting a hard time once he came on, around the field he was vulnerable too.

    I thought Lowry was good too, beginning to grow into that 15 role.

    Clermont were poor though. Their pack wasn't at the races and their lineout was all over the place. A good night for JJ, got better as the game went on.

    PSA seems to be saying they'll be resting a lot of big players over next fortnight.
