How bad must Toulouse of been this season to have been taken to a penalty shoot out by this rabble?

Re: Ulster 2021/22
Why did Wycherley stay on for so long with Ahern and Jenkins on the bench? That’s rotten luck for Ahern, hope it’s not as bad as the comms seem to think.

Re: Ulster 2021/22
I wouldn't have a huge fear of Ulster if we meet them later on I must say. Reckon we could take that pack to the cleaners.
Hume/Balacoune very dangerous albeit.

Re: Ulster 2021/22
For Munster, you reap what you sow, but I don’t understand how some of the promising elements of the period between hanging in there in the first leg against Exeter and the extra time against Toulouse were just totally and utterly lacking tonight.
Ulster very good though. Solid performance from the pack but the centres and back three were outstanding. I’ve never been a fan of Burns but he can pull the strings quite well at times, good game from him tonight.

100%. He's not that player. Somebody told him that to play in the backrow for Munster you have to do the fake agro bit.OTT wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 7:46 pmKendellan is class when he sticks to rugby but he’s had that coming, he’s been reading to much from his three red kings fanboys.LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 7:44 pm That is one of the most enjoyable tries I’ve ever seen

I literally laughed out loud when they scored that try during The Munster Handbag Session, Vol. 146. It has been a long time coming.
Re: Ulster 2021/22
Nice cameo from Jason Jenkins. Thought he did well for his time on the pitch. Unfortunate to see Big Tom injured.

Re: Ulster 2021/22
Yeah, it’s a pretty ignominious end to JVG & Larkham’s time. On the other hand, at least Rowntree won’t have to deal with sky high expectations!dougie the flanker wrote:Players look checked out. The amount of knock ons. I think we'll see a bit of a changing of the guard next season. Pretty poor stuff. Ulster look great.
Re: Ulster 2021/22
They'll more than likely continue to win f**k all with the front row and half backs they have next season.the spoofer wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 10:00 pmThat will Be an interesting project. Munsters biggest asset is getting rid of the two coaches.

Re: Ulster 2021/22
When I saw the pile of Munster jerseys gathering round a couple of Ulster players, I felt the quick-tap was definitely on. Fairplay to Peyper for letting it be played.
Ulster just far more accurate in their back-line play. Munster appeared to be adventurous on the surface but looked like they were improvising and unsure whatever to expect.
Looking forward to Gerry Thornley saying how in fairneaa Munster gave it a good go and put width on the ball and sure it wasn't all that bar. Hopefully he might even have a line about Ulster too.
