Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
The crowd in Spanners last night was pitiful, maybe 8000 max. Ulster says no to rugby.

I think it was the 67th minute when he dropped the ball.
Did anyone notice the camera shot immediately afterwards of a youngster about 4 years holding his head in his hands with mouth wide open.. thought he epitomised our feelings of beagle.

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
No Baggy like many wings have done before him he accelerated into the pass too soon thus the pass was not in front of him but at him and hit him in the chest .
The first thing is catch the ball then accelerate he put the cart before the horse .

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
I hate to see players being accused of not doing something and being accused of standing ruck watching unless you were in on the team talk and know what the player has been instructed to do - shut it .
At under age I would expect unless the ruck is inside the 22 players are instructed not to contest the ball .
Needlessly contesting a ruck is downfall of many teams because the ruck is source of many needless penalties .
Similarly tackle counts are often provide false impressions because of the role allotted to a player
Rea shows promise at the moment he needs to develop leg and arm strength . That takes time .
Wilson may not get round a pitch like he did in days gone by but he can toss players out of a ruck .

How are you measuring Rea's arm and leg strength?

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
How to tell firstly the lad is only 19 -20 secondly compare the way Wilson and Ross handled the opposition to how Rea handled them .
Granted that was one heavy pack last night and he played the full 80 minutes but Rea seldom stopped them in front of the gain line taking a two bite approach on occasion .
Body strength you can build - heart on the other hand is something you either have or you don't and he's got it .
Confidence will come with body development and the frame is there to build on .
He's a season or two away from regular Pro 12/ERC he's not physically ready for a big French pack -- remember that was an exhibition game not a full blood assault win or lose game effort 99.9% rather than 110 % . Baas play for the previlge and enjoyment -winning nice but essential since it is a scratch XV

It's not merely strength that a player needs to stop the opposition but technique, which is more important. Having said that he put in the best hit of the night, from an Ulster player. I'm not sure what match you were watching. Being blind and illiterate must be a challenge.

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
Sadly he is talking Ron'ncock and has entirely got the Marshall episode wrong. p put down a perfect pass, from the perfect position beside Shanahan, not stretching, no overrunning, nada. Yer ballbeg is festerin' Ron'n, happened right in front of me, I know exactly what happened - he brainfarted, how predictable.222toHounslow wrote:Rumncoke is still a Bellend

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
Technique you learn but the modern professional game is based on strength because players are bigger and heavier and tackles are seldom around the legs but upper body .

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
No, it's about power rather than strength. Strength is about exerting as much force as possible on an external load, without regard for how long it takes. Power is exerting as much force as possible, as quickly as possible. A tackle situation requires that explosive power but also the technique so that player is an optimal body position to best use what power they have.rumncoke wrote:Technique you learn but the modern professional game is based on strength because players are bigger and heavier and tackles are seldom around the legs but upper body .

Re: Ulster v Barbarians Thu 1st June
power is weight x speed which is the requirement of ball carrying .Tackling is technique power and strength because the object being tackled has to held .
Ferris used strength to lift opponents and power to carry them back the lift denied power to the ball carrier . Henderson uses strength to rip the ball from an opponent - strength is an essential of the modern game if it wasn't players wouldn't spend hours in a gym doing weights .
