I assume you have not taken the trouble to watch it several times before pronouncing? Should you take the trouble to rewatch it you will see that he clearly plays at the ball with his foot and there is no delay in moving to the ball, no reaction delay, no suggestion that he threw a hopeful foot out & then reacted, it was done as one movement.

Was there clearly an element of good fortune in that it worked perfectly? Of course but you are selling him short if you think he just got lucky.

Watched it several times baggy. Cave was no more than a metre away from where the ball was flicked off the ground at pace. It then looped into the air giving him time to adjust and catch it. A good piece of thinking to block the ball but a serious stretch to say he deliberately flicked it up into his hands.

Sorry ould hand but if you have watched it repeatedly I'm afraid your brain cannot process what your eyes see.

If someone tries to simply block the movement of the ball, the action is usually a kind of lunging or planting of the foot, that did not happen, it was fluid. It was not one movement an adjustment and a further movement following the good fortune to knock the ball up, it was as I've described as a fluid movement, no pause no thinking time just one smart piece of play.

Good fortune, of course, to work so perfectly but the thought was to do just that.

At times like this, I'm reminded of a wee brown specky lad who used produce the odd gem:

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

Les is OK - looks like the noise has now blown over the Irish Sea with all that snow.

Watched him last night put another performance in against Pau... instead of taking the pi$h out of his wife maybe some should look at the total lack of support she was given by her husbands employers.

Yes all very interesting but what about the man who singlehandedly has shorn up the Ulster scrum when none of us expected to see him this season? Why is he not playing against Wasps?
Where have we suddenly got two better LHs from? Why does Kiss not want him to start?

WHERE'S CALLUM

At the presser, he was said to be neither ill nor injured. Strikes me as serious insanity as calls go. If the Ulster scrum gets wrecked I'm pointing my finger straight at KISS.

It's quite the irony, people like Cave & Ludik have known what it's been like to be sent to Coventry by FOLK, now Callum Black in a strange twist has not been sent to Coventry.

Tell you what, he's not good enough for the A team either.

baggy.. If Peel picks the backs then why not Gibbes picking the forwards... that like everything at UR creates the extra layer of teflon needed to insure the blame gets pushed around..

Indeed if Black isn't injured it is a big call given he looks the only prop capable of keeping our srum up at times.

Les thinks we are not far behind Leinster. In his mind it is like rotating Healy and Jack McGrath.
