Os look tidy tonight.
Ryan Jones is playing wonderfully. That calm, "I've got this, lads" manner that he excels at. Great offload for DB's try.
Beck mullered ROG there! There's lovely.
Munster lucky not to get a yellow there.
Now THAT is how you finish a half!
?
Great kick by Adam too.
AA, the curse of the glitch. Was referring to the try before the half.
Adam is a legend. FACT. What a lovely guy!
Nice try again. Now come on munster let shane score!!
Shane will score.
Shane will score.
Shane will score.
Shane will score.
He must, surely!
Nice round of applause for Paul James.
Hibbard is hitting anything that moves. Lovely.
Hibbard has been watching lydiate.
Which Lydiate?
There are at least eighty four of them in ever game! ๐
****
Just seen this. Love the fact Barnes thought it was a fair tackles
What a great night at the Liberty ๐ Munster demolished and the Os played really well. Crowd were great and although Shane didnt score he contributed to at least two of the tries. Ospreys pack very very strong.
So it wont be Brizzle promoted, newcastle must be pleased London Welsh are the only team left that have applied to join the aviva and they dont appear to qualify.
Ooops
Wales U20 v Japan U20 at St Helens tomorrow night, just a fiver see you there.

Bit of a pisser that one - they're by far the quality team in that division but bottle the play-offs ๐
I dunno, you have one league, you win that, you then have another mini league, you win that too and you bollocks up the play-offs and that's it. But them's the rules. Nothing Brizzle can do about it now. I think London Welsh are saying they've got a ground-share proposal a_a (but only heard that thru twitter, haven't looked into it fully).
The whole promotion/relegation thing from premiership to championship is a bit of a basket case.
Jesus, bad 6N, Ulstered in the Heiny quarters (deservedly so) and handed our arses by Ospreys (even more deservedly so) and now my last hope Brizzle screw up so no prem rugby here next season. It's been a bad year. ๐
DD we really humped you on Friday ๐
For a change, yes.
We have to let you win every so often, otherwise you'll lose interest, and other excuses...
Seriously though, Munster have been there for the taking this year - it's the poorest side we've had in a while. So fair dues to the sides that have beaten them - they've been on the end of some mullerings for a while from the men in red, so why not deny them their chance to hand it back. ๐
Me, bitter? Not at all. ๐
Very humble DD. I have to agree with you though Munster just don't have the power in the pack or the edge in the backs that they used to have. I think you are really missing Flannery and Wallace in particular. I don't think Ulster would have won down there a couple of seasons ago. I also have to say that the legend that is POC is on the wane considerably, I know I blaspheme.
Just need Ulster to beat the D4 posh kids on sat and we'll be flying!

Can't disagree. ๐
They had this thing about them where they truly were never beaten, especially in Thomond. This year, they've looked a beaten team early on in some games. And let's face it, they lucked their way to a home QF in the HC. Flannery has been a big loss as you say, as has Wallace and for all that everybody whinged about him, so has Stringer. He was probably the most intelligent player they had for years.
Still, they're not a poor side, attendances in Thomond will stay strong - it's not a ground for Johnny-come-latelys so I'm sure they'll be strong again in a few years.
Pigface were you there Friday night, we went my mate stupidly parked in the industrial estate opposite and got a ticket, that said great game, just need to find accommodation in Dublin now...
Yes Ron it was a great night, Ospreys finally played to their potential.
That estate is easy money on game day for the local council. I could walk to the Liberty can see it from my road.
my last hope Brizzle screw up so no prem rugby here next season
It's almost a good thing. If Bristol had gone up to the AP with backs playing like that, they'd have been demolished every week without fail. Despite the season, Brizzle might have had a lucky escape.
London Welsh reckon they have loads of options at least one of which satisfies premrugby requirements. Won't find out until just before the final though. I hope they do go up; heavens knows Newcastle deserve to go down.
Ospreys finally played to their potential
It was a very, very fine performance by the Ospreys.
It's almost a good thing.
No it's not. ๐
Did you watch the game DD?
The tackling from the back line was frankly embarrassing.
What do you mean, any backline with Ronan O'Boyzone in it is rock solid!

Talking different games, I think.
That said, watching ROG getting dumped backwards on Friday made me smile! ๐ He tackles like a piece of limp spaghetti. ๐

Does that mean I cant post this:
or this
What do you reckon of the chances in the final PF?
LOLz
Captain Plastic and a_a poking fun at ROG again. What?!? He can't tackle? Well, I never. Never mind, I'm sure, with two HC medals, a GS and a few conquests of Welsh and Argentinian wags, he'll get over your feelings for him. ๐
wrecker, aye, they were terrible against the Pirates, but at the end of a long season. Surely it's better to try and go up anyway, even if it will be a struggle. Noone have them a chance the last time but they had a great first season back (granted, followed by a shite one ๐ )
Henson has more GS's than O'gara!! In fact as many as all irish grand slams!!!

And today's meaningless statistic was brought to you by a_a (for the umpteenth time)
Woah whats with all the angst on here, can the usual suspects please rein themselves in. A bit of banter is fine but there is a definate anti paddy thing with some of you.
Ok how about Steven Jones has two grandslams and can tackle?
glitcheroo...
glitching the glitch
GLITCH!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and just so preface is happy ๐
Jesus, I glitched the glitch just to read that...
Seriously a_a, you need to get over yourself...I have no idea what crosses your mind sometimes, but you seem to insist on wanting to wind people up. It's sad really.
Calm down, you started spouting the magnificent stats for Ronan!
Sorry, who mentioned ROG first a_a?
I thought it was wrecker talking about his awful tackling
but apparently it was me.
Never mind you can take the piss out of Shanes tackling or Wellies running style I dont mind. Shane has three GS's by the way. Just dont be nasty to Gavin I'll cry ๐ฅ
I'm looking forward to seeing this guy next season, think hes a good carrier.
and lets face it if Carlsberg did punches the last few seconds would be what they'd do!
