The Heineken Cup Thread

[Square Ball]

not really sure about the rules and dont have sound, but surely grabbing someone round the neck and dragging them down like that deserved more that a free?

[Carmen Stateside]

They claimed it was accidental I think.
Ulster look good, going by the commentators this shouldn't be happening.

A friday night at Ravenhill is supposed to be legendary - in other words they rarely lose, but Leicester are one of the best teams in England !! Shows how the tides have turned in recent years, when the SUPPOSEDLY 3rd best team in Ireland have hammered them !!

Would be some achievement to qualify top from a group with Leicester and Clermont

Right enough, what the f**k is Sweet Chatiot all about.

[Carmen Stateside]

Commentators maybe a little bias. " terrible night for English rugby"

I am only about 15 minutes walk from it and can hear the roars from the front door but have never been to a match in it.

Might just be an angry badger looking in.

Well go and make judgement for yourself, I went during the holidays and it was a great night. Good game and Ulster played well. I think they just didn't think Ulster would have played as well in fairness and they were caught on the hop.

The stance by the IRFU with the internationals not playing certain games have paid off

Heard a story on the wireless this morning about Ulster fans singing this.. When they beat Leicester in 04 (year after England won the WC), Martin Johnson came on as a sub, so the Ulster fans changed the lyrics of Sweet Chariot to "coming for to carry you home!"..
Thought it was a clever one myself!..

[Dinny Breen]

Wow! That was some performance from Ulster - Tuohy, Henry, Trimble - put their hands up to Declan Kidney plus Ferris and Best are nailed on to start for Ireland. Irish rugby still riding high...

Id say Cave also put his hand up for what is a problem position.

Henry could be a very good bench option as he can play anywhere across the backrow whereas O Mahony and Jennings cant.

Great result for Ulster but they are always formidable at home and will need to back it up in France next week if they are to move to the next level.  A bonus point defeat could see them through, even as a best runners up.

Was at the game and Ulster were up for it from the off, I wasn't sure about Pienaar last year but he has assumed the David Humphreys role to make them tick - Ian Humprhreys was also good but the forwards stole the show- destroyed the famous Leicester front-row-especially Afoa and Mueller as well as what has come to be a regular master-class from Ferris. Could do a job for us at FB atSt Tiernach's Park on Sunday to allow Dan forward,
Swing Low was a piss-take at how far the former English Greats have fallen- without Geordan Murphy they had no balls.
