What's Ulsters pack like these days?I saw some people suggesting Ulster will go second choice vs Sale, but I doubt it. Losing is a habit and they need to break it. I think they'll go all out to give themselves a lift. If it was an away game it may be different.
An Ulster fan may feel differently, but their pack is imo held back by some pretty journeyman players, which in turn hamstrings a really strong backline a bit.What's Ulsters pack like these days?
I'm a bit concerned about this game - we're going to be missing 5 starters and 2 2nd choice in the pack. Whilst we have decent depth our set piece has been hit or miss (mostly the latter at the lineout) so the disruptions to the set piece units could tell
Bit of a logjam in that 7-10 area in our group, four sides all within a win of each other
Montpellier should beat Irish at home so they'll go through, and I think Clermont should lose away at Stormers, so I think if we beat Ulster we'll move into the top 8 - though part of me thinks dropping down to the challenge cup might be better for us as we'd be more likely to win another game or two
Ntamack just said this should be a 5 pointer for Toulouse.Munster: Mike Haley; Calvin Nash, Antoine Frisch, Jack Crowley, Shane Daly; Joey Carbery, Craig Casey; Dave Kilcoyne, Niall Scannell, John Ryan; Jean Kleyn, Tadhg Beirne; Peter O'Mahony (C), John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes.
Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Josh Wycherley, Roman Salanoa, Jack O'Sullivan, Alex Kendellen, Conor Murray, Ben Healy, Malakai Fekitoa.
Think we will really miss some of our big boys. Best available team picked though. Only change I'd have is Buckley in the bench, he's a Beasty boy. Toulouse have gone with a yuge team. 1 point is a good result for us.
Fair, I had just seen that quote before your post and MJ immediately came to mind though!Watch it all
He was saying in where both teams are this is a game Toulouse should be getting 5 points.
And nothing personal on it. In logic he is right.
More a reflection on us to stand up and show how far we have come and progress is being made. Nothing wrong with the statement from him at all.
Would 100% take that if I was clear where we are.Fair, I had just seen that quote before your post and MJ immediately came to mind though!
Jack Dunne, it's a typo.any idea who Sunne is? @Pieter Steph du Teague
