Aw **** can it get worse
can it get worse
It can BM. Matt Dawson has just blocked me on twitter. 😀
What did u say
What did u say
He tweeted in an outrage, that he'd seen "nothing worse", to which I replied "Nothing worse"? For heaven's sake, let's not exaggerate. He didn't like that for some reason.
Balls
Ashton as well. 👿
Whats happend?
Whats happend?
Jarred Payne took Goode out in the air under dropping ball. Payne wasn't looking at Goode, but arrived late and took Goode out pretty badly...red carded after four minutes. Not sure there was a massive amount of intent, but dangerous challenge all the same and I don't think anyone is complaining at red card.
Shame red cards ruin games.
Still a cracking game though (lots of needle too). Only a point in it and Ulster have played with 14 for the last half hour. Your mate Ashton scored Sarries' try. 😐
Dancer! It's a strage strage game but very compelling.
9-5 at half time. Ulster would be mullering them with 15 on the pitch. 🙂 Keep the faith BM.
Be very funny if they win whilst a man down!
I really cannot call this now at all. Sarries have been pretty crap so I'm sure they will get better second half.

Pienaar off.
There's the kind of on-screen stat I could watch all day...
"Owen Farrell...0 from 3" 🙂
Poor from Jackson. Why is Pienaar off?
Mon the Fez!!
His shoulder is bust. He prob shouldn't have started.
Our Fez is bigger than urs!
His shoulder is bust.
Yeah, sorry, just picked that up. Pleeeeeeeaaaasssseeee let us have a Fez hit on Farrell.
[s]Jeez, penalty for that?[/s]
Never mind, Farrell's missed again. 🙂
Balls. 🙁
Balls!! Well played Sarries
Unlucky BM...with 15, you'd have been a few scores ahead.
So Sarries v Clermont semi in London.
Munster will go to Dublin to be beaten by Leinster or France to be beaten by Toulon.
Saracens v Clermont at Twickenham will be good !
I'm gutted at the result but hugely proud of the Ulster team and the performance they put in. To be down to 14 men after 5 mins then lose Rory and Ruan and to only miss out by two points to the top team in England is pretty good.
Never a red card there, but what a superb performance from Ulster. They'd have stuffed Saracens if they had stayed at 15.
Oh, and Farrell is still a nasty little shit.
Never a red card there
Matt Dawson said he'd never seen anything worse!
Guess who was seren y gem for Bath v Brive? 😆
Wilkinson skyspurts ****fest in full flow. Face it sky and woodward his record aint a patch on BODs
Steffan Armitage and Bastarau have the same dietician!
JW has lead his side to two world cup finals winning the first one and dragging an indifferent team to the second. BOD doesn't come close in terms of a head to head comparison.
No fairy tail for BOD here, Leinster are finished. JW off injured, Giteau and Armitage taking the kicks
Logic and wallet say Saracens at Twickenham for the semi to watch, heart says an away trip to the sun in Marseilles for Toulon. I had an excuse last year for travelling South to celebrate my 50th, might need some creative thinking this year.

Munster the only green machine side to make it through to the semis. And that's as far as they'll go I reckon.

The London Times seems to suggest otherwise.
Bod was at times the best centre in the world and went on four lions tours. Wilkinsons international career was much shorter and he was never the best ten in the world. He wasnt even the best ten in that world cup final. Wilkinson was good BOD is exceptional. Best centre of the pro era. Even better than that orange bloke who was mom today for Barf.
@aa as you know it's my opinion JW was the best 10 in the world, so we'll have to disagree on that. He was far more influential on the teams he played in and still is than other candidates. His international career was shorter by his choice, having won the WC and been in another final he decided to head in a different direction after the injury problems he suffered. All things we've debated before. BOD was a fabulous player and I've enjoyed watching him play enormously, his record and commitment to Ireland and Lions is outstanding.
Edit: on 2nd thoughts, there really isn't any point.
There isn't any point because Sir Johnny won a world cup medal and odriscoll didn't, end of discussion. Only thing odriscoll is known for in England is for getting dumped on his head by two Kiwis. Sir Johnny achieved what odriscoll could only dream of, lift the Webb Ellis trophy as a winner. Carry on 😀
😆 it's STW's very own pet racist, bloodynora with his razor-sharp rugby insight, just like his last comment on the thread:
Another Triple Crown for the knights in white.... The score flattered Wales who were absolutely woeful. Ireland will bottle it in Paris like they always do.
😆
Keep coming back nora...comedy gold every time.

this is somewhat revisionist. Wilkinson was awol for most of the world cup win only coming good in the semi and final. Which shows his class but he certainky didnt carry the team. He was then replaced by Flood and Ciprani after being poor. He was very good and seemed a good bloke with it but he wasnt in BOD's league as a world class player. If you think he was the equal of Carter you are nuts.
Dawson has a world cup medal does that make him a better scrum half that Howley????
Wilkinson was a brilliant kicker, good player and idiot defender.
JW for England was world class between 00 and 2003 ending with a word cup medal, but was no more than average on his return from various injuries there after. Does he make the top 5 greatest number 10's? Doubt it.
O'Gara has scored more 6N points (and wives) than St. Jonny. 😆
Aw darcy you had to bite with the racist tag as usual 'yawn'..... just because someone disagrees with you theres no need to throw the toys out and accuse them of racism.... a massive overeaction as usual....
so ireland only won a championship and not a grand slam no need to get all precious.... surprised youve not run crying to the mods like you normally do 😆
I'll admit that JW wasn't an unbelievable 10 in the Carter, Latham type mold, however I don't know a single team who wouldn't have had him in the pitch, he just needed a good inside centre alongside him.
Not sure about the idiot defender tag above, I wouldn't like to be hit by him!
I'm surprised he's carried on as long as he has, the injuries he picked up post 3003 would hav e endedostnpeoples careers, fair play for carrying on.
