11 - 37! Fantastic performance from the men in white. Tackled their hearts out and showed some lovely touches going forward. It's hard to pick out anyone...
should also add that no matter how good a performance this was Ulster really need to build on this performance with a win in Edinburgh on Friday evening or it...
I picked a bad time to go and check out the new Thomond stadium. Fair play to Ulster. They were fantastic and Court has to be in consideration for the proper...
Denis Hurley must be mentioned too. As I was at the game and haven't seen highlights, I might be wrong on this but I reckon he was either out of position or...
Very much out of position. He was consistently too far back until he got caught with a monster kick from iHumphs in the second half that he was back-pedalling...
I thought Humphreys was outstanding and the Ulster front row too. As your talking about the footballesque behaviour of the Munster men you might have a word...

I was speechless, John ! For some reason the text I sent was removed by Yahoo. Here it is again, and it was a reply to Brendan, "That's called professionalism,...
My point was that ''footballesqueness''(what a word) was on both sides. I wouldn't be critical of it and would agree with your sentiments. As I said, a great...

He might want to consider engaging his forwards in the game too Peter; I've been discussing this with another contributor offline and I'd agree that the...

With the shortage of quality number 10's out there, I'd like to see him brought through fairly quickly. Sexton and Wallace would seem to be the only other...

Richard, ultimately where the problem lies is with the head coach and not Fisher (for now). McGahan was there when we played dreadfully against Llanelli in the...
I find it hard to believe that indigenous style would have anything to do with it. I mean Matt Williams is as Aussie as Fischer and McGahan. Scrummaging is ...

So what's the feeling? McGahan isn't up to it? Just goes to show that giving players the coach they want is always a recipe for disaster. ... [Non-text...
Not sure I buy the football analogies at all anyway (enough of the mangling of the language! ;-) We certainly don't - and shouldn't - every player on the team...

I don't know Glen. Their form has been patchy for a while now. In the real world, Clermont would have won and we'd be out of Europe by now. It's great that the...

agree it would be great to include some Italian teams in the Magners league - unlike the barting they get in HC they might win a few games which would be good...
To clarify my point. I hate seeing players 'suggesting' that the ref should be giving a card. I saw it two or three time from Munster players on Saturday...
Just to give one example from Saturday. The lead up to the second penalty score for Munster saw them get a lot of quick rucks in the Ulster 22. Boss eventually...
So Fogarty has been cited for punching in the Connacht game? It looked bad enough on TV replays so he'll probably get a few weeks. Jackman is still injured...

Hi Colin i am pretty sure that in the example you cited, Boss was penalised for tackling Stringer without the ball - not for diving over the ruck. The ball...
The ball was still under the control of a Munster forward's foot - hence not out; it should have been a yellow card. Coming through the middle doesn't give the...
