Ashton as well. 👿

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.

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. 😐

9-5 at half time. Ulster would be mullering them with 15 on the pitch. 🙂 Keep the faith BM.

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.

Poor from Jackson. Why is Pienaar off?

Mon the Fez!!

Yeah, sorry, just picked that up. Pleeeeeeeaaaasssseeee let us have a Fez hit on Farrell.

Balls. 🙁

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.

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.

Matt Dawson said he’d never seen anything worse!

Wilkinson skyspurts wankfest in full flow. Face it sky and woodward his record aint a patch on BODs

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.

The London Times seems to suggest otherwise.

@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.

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 😀

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.

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.

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 😆
