Ulster Rugby 2017-18

Jeez - O’Donoghue eeled his way through that maul and caught Herring.

Kicking to the corner .... words fail me.

Why go for a set piece on half time when you have been dominated in the set piece all game? Very poor game management there from Ulster, really should have taken the points.

AOC not happy with Ah You after that maul, surely he doesn't come out for the second half? Given away penalties left right and centre

This is a car crash. Could this be the end of Kiss?

It could be but in fairness our defence is pretty good so far but a weak pack is the root of all Ulsters problems and the lineout and scrum have been poor all season, thats Gibbes and Dundon who would stay if Kiss leaves so it doesn't get better if he goes

I don't know, I am not sure Kiss is responsible for this. This is an Ulster seriously lacking in confidence. Its the individual errors that are costing Ulster here, is that due to Kiss?

It really could have been another game if the ref took a second look at the tip tackle and Munster went down to 14 men...

Better from Ulster. Ref still not watching the Munster defenders.

That should be a card for Munster

Another penalty. Yellow card?

About time for a warning.

What a weak ref. Penalty awarded and ball knocked from McCloskey’s hands right in front of the ref. Nothing.

In fairness, he was also very lenient on Ulster in the same situation in the first half...

That has to be given.

That happens at every ruck... This is poor refereeing for me, that is a try.

Cruel decision for Ulster. No try.

I'm done with this match, laters.

Doesn’t look good for Scannell. Arm/wrist injury?

Archer in from the side and not penalised and surely a deliberate knock on to prevent Cave from scoring too?

Excellent build up pressure and try scored by Cave.

That’s a red card

You look at Cave try celebration and you are left scratching your head since the passion certainly looks like it’s there.

That could be a red card here...

If he stays on his feet its a yellow but you fly off your feet thats red

Thought so.

Bit of Cave passion into rest of team needed please.

Someone get Dodger, its game on now

What’s the deal lads. There’s no lack of passion that I can see. Just lack of strength and ability then is it?

We have a game now. Pity it has to happen with players off the pitch.

Cooney never lets up. Stirling Player.

Ulster lacked belief in the first half, compounded by the ref but Munster ill discipline has caught up with them and gone hand in hand with Ulster playing with more belief in the second half

Come back Dodger.

Those missed kicks from JJ may have a huge impact on this game for Munster now...

Jeez the booing by the Ulster fans is so poor.

O’Donoghue playing very well at 8. A somewhat unremarked talent with Stander’s shadow.

A little bit of play acting coming into this match by Ulster right now...

Ulster much smarter now. Can they make this pay?

Oh yes. Gilroy in the corner.

The initial contact of that was ankle on Cave was to the face. No acting.

Well that is the game to Ulster.

Must say the ref has been absolutely awful, gave everything to Munster in the first half and everything to Ulster in the second.

What a conversion!

Cooney is the new Pienaar.

Sorry but Cave ducked into that and flayed out to the ref. Play acting.

..........

Dumb penalty by Munster.

Since when is calling the refs attention playacting? Is common n place in every team.

Like that Cooney try?

Oh My God.

Cooney for president

That’s odd. The crowd has stopped booing.
