Gloucester wing got sent off for a very similar one today, so he is a lucky boy. That said, it’s a massacre up front here.LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑March 6th, 2021, 8:35 pm I think JOB is very lucky but Madigan did jump into it, very surprised that the ref saw it that way though.
We’ve been far better anyway though. Bar the few minutes when Ulster ran us ragged we’ve destroyed them up front and dominated defensively when we’ve matched them for numbers.
Ulster had imploded before the red, don’t see why people expected more from before kick off.

I thought dev yellow was very harsh, big man against little man and it was more his bicep that made contact with the head as the rest of has arm was around the chest.
Stu's yellow was fair enough as a line break had been made.
I thought warwack was a penalty and no more as he led with the arm but I thought made contact with the chest first.
And i just saw a clash of heads for the other yellow as an attempted tackle was been made. I guess a yellow at most as the head is a no go area.
I must be out of touch with the laws these days

Re: Ulster, Away, March 6th, 7.35pm
I think everyone is out of touch and I don’t know what the answer i to make it safer and still be fair. For me, it was just unfortunate. He’s wrapped him a tackle and their heads have just pinged. But...like i say, very similar one today in wasps Gloucester was a red. Warwick’s one was just instinctive too and he walks, but it’s definitely low end of danger. At the same time , as I understand it, it’s the correct call.Atlas wrote: ↑March 6th, 2021, 8:41 pm I thought dev yellow was very harsh, big man against little man and it was more his bicep that made contact with the head as the rest of has arm was around the chest.

I can see Lukey getting a try or a big break from a snipe. Ulster have no guard at most rucks.

I thought Madigan jumping was strange mitigation as if he hadn't have jumped the clash would have been worse

Balacoune needs to be in the Irish squad ASAP.
Bent has been outstanding.

Because it’s not about the height, it’s about him jumping towards the tackle.Laighin Break wrote: ↑March 6th, 2021, 8:52 pm I thought Madigan jumping was strange mitigation as if he hadn't have jumped the clash would have been worse
Re: Ulster, Away, March 6th, 7.35pm
We will never know now but I wonder would Ulster be winning if they had of just kept playing rugby and not try to poke the bear the whole time when the decisions were going with them. They seemed to be moaning about everything Leinster were doing in every breakdown and rubbing our noses in it. Looked like they got us really pissed off, I know I was absolutely fuming at home watching their carry on. Anyway fluff post

Has a bad attitude at times, bad reaction to his yellow and then giving out to Lyttle a few minutes ago.
The lads enjoying this now. Clarkson has made a rake of tackles already and Sheehan just knocked Reidy into next week.
Re: Ulster, Away, March 6th, 7.35pm
great defensive work on the line.
Re: Ulster, Away, March 6th, 7.35pm
Some tackle from Rosser back there.
