Ordinarily I'd agree but we're now looking low on wingers!

I wonder what Luke Marshall makes of Rodney's tackling. No-one gave more than Luke tonight and no-one gave less than Rodders.

I agree, although we joked with some mates that we'd probably lose in the final to Gloucester Image

Hope some of the local club 10s put in a good show tomorrow as we'll need one next week by the look of things.

Rodney once again proves he is a waste and not sure Iron Man Deysel is much better...
In the heyday of the 2011/2012 season we lost 3 in a row before the Heiny, culminating in a 23-12 loss at home to Treviso. Our 1-9 that day compared to the Munster QF team was missing Court, Best, afoa, muller, Ferris and Ruan.

So basically we have always been pretty poor Strength in depth wise. We were blessed that season with lots of luck injury wise in many of the key games, particularly upfront. We have been paying for that ever since though....

FFFS Jean, don't be saying that there are two outhalfs in the high court relying on Rory's reference.

LOOK .......Tommy, FFFS, when young M'Phillips passed into touch Tommy was on his heels, the young lad rightly expected him on his toes going forward :duh: ............everything Tommy did in the game was negative :duh: :duh: .........then he lost a game that we deserved to lose, but shouldn't have but for his fu'ck up. :duh: :duh: :duh: Good God in Heaven, Tommy Bowe ...........just go. Trimby must be showing absolutely nothing in training to be behind Tommy in the pecking order, at least the GLU tackles.

LOOK ........................ Cockers ........ no, not you, I hope we are at least talking to him. I was with an Edinburgh fan tonight who is a friend of a friend and he said they were down to their 4th choice props & 5th choice hooker. Cockers has that team playing as a team, two weeks in a row they have been losing with 2 points their likely gain, instead, they got 9.

I can see no way of Ulster getting past them, injuries alone have killed the season, we are really down now to the bones of our arses, Cooney at 10? Who plays on the wings?

Ah .................LOOK, it's been a shyte season............... FOLK discovered last season that McCloskey & NHL are two stout-hearted players who will give you what they have, but there is not an ounce of creativity in their partnership, and outside them tonight :duh: :duh: :duh: ...................... just nothing.

Deysel????? stripped of the ball 3 times by my count.

Then you have Rodney :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: what a stupid basterd, the one time we get into their 22 in the second half, the pack had already got their ballcarrier in touch according to a pal in the grandstand ......... enter Rodney, stage left, in from the side so instead of our lineout they get a penalty. Moron.

4 kicks charged down from the 2 scrum halfs, 2 each.WTF

When people mock those of us who believe Cave should be playing, let me explain why, he is one of the very few players Ulster have who is in possession of a rugby brain. After about 10 minutes of the 2nd half I realised that Cockers had the game sussed, all Embra had to do was close down McCloskey & Marshall ...........admittedly not the most difficult of tasks as they are as a pair as sharp as a balloon................ because we had literally nothing to offer outside them, so I sat hoped Conney could win it ........................ but I hadn't allowed for Rodney & Tommy throwing the game away through just really really dumb rugby.

To put the tin hat on it, when they brought on wee fat Weir, much to the disgust of my Embra pal, I knew exactly the manner of our defeat................and so it fu'cking came to pass.

So then 7th SDC playoff against Connacht, Ospreys or Caaaaaaadiff.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

+ Luke incredible performance ...
Cooney, class act, nuff said.

Bye ball - timoney and Ludi, AOC and big Stu.

The rest. Tried hard, gave a lot. Not good enough to make a dent in this league.

Once Gillers went off they knew we had feck all on each wing so they played agsinst 13. Once mcphillips went off i knew wed lose. We're not up to this. Stop singing Suftum and wake up.
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"
