Llanelli v Munster - HEC ¼ Final

[An Tarbh]

Not a great game to be honest, Llanelli have taken their chances, fortunate not to be pinged for Jones' stamping to free the ball, that certainly was rucking imo but good finish nonetheless. Cullen is having a mare, shouldn't have started.

No chance of Munster getting back into this one, guess my sneaky feeling was off the mark.

^^^^
Ou contraire, watching the Scarlets play like this is a thing of beauty. Thjey look like a Super 14 side or, dare I say it, the Wales side of the 2005 Grand Slam?

I am really enjoying watching this game some good flowing Rugby by the Scarlets...

Munster just havent fired.. and they dont like they are going to...

 

[Prestwick]

Scarlets are on a blinder!

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

Prooven blatant 5m forward pass! f*** off Munster, Mark Jones's forward ball was miles less than than that! Touch Jugde must've been watching the O'Spreadbury's in the crowd! Can't score fairly can they?

 

[Bullitt]

O'Gara once again buckles under pressure and misses the crucial conversion.

I still can't see Munster getting back into this properly.

 

[Prestwick]

Speaking of O'Gara, have Scarlets been chasing him all over the park?

If you put serious pressure on him, he is easy to wind up usually as a result.

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

What a try! Take that O'Gara!

 

[Bullitt]

Wow. Just Wow.

Best try I've seen all season for Davies. Greats <strike>15</strike> 14 man rugby.

 

[getofmeland]

What A Fantastic Try...

Should be all over for Munster now!!!

 

[Prestwick]

What an end for Munster.

In the last competetive HEC for ages, could Scarlets go all the way?!

 

[Bullitt]

Playing like that, I wouldn't write them off. Great performance which sets up the rest of the weekend beautifully.

God that makes sad reading.

Great performance from the Scarlets.

Munster put the pressure on - they always do - but Llanelli opened wide their legs and showed their class. The ability to score when it matters makes them serious contenders.

Big games for Jones, Popham, King and the back three. Actually, big games for everyone - except for the sub #18: 'But ref, I've only just come on' 'Yeah, well you're going straight back off.'

Munster need to stop mucking about with solid guys out wide and go for speed merchants and all round lunatics. Very disappointed with Cullen - although his pass for our first try was out of this world. :unsure: Disappointed that ROG seemed to lose the rag half way through the second half.

Atmosphere in the stadium looked great - and we even shut them up for twenty minutes.

I am a Scarlets supporter for the next few weeks.

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

Instead of having draws for the semi's, the highest seeded team should be at home! (like the NFL right)

O'Gara looks suicidal!

 

[Bullitt]

Such a pity. About time the jumped up gobshite was brought down a peg or two.

 

[shtove]

Still sore over his home truths about the Guinness premiership?

You need a licence from the IRFU to use the word 'gobshite'.

 

[loratadine]

lol plus rep!!

Actually Everton supporters can grant them too and yer man Chris has one, issued by me after his run-in with some rednoses a while back.

Not at all, I also believe a lot of English players are over rated. However, when it comes to over rated chumps in World Rugby O'Gara is in a healthy 2nd place behind Harry Ellis.

 

[shtove]

I can't believe you got everything wrong. Ellis isn't overrated - he's just not international standard and everybody knows it.

 

[Bullitt]

He's not professional standard either. I even rate Johnny Howard above the useless little ****.

 

[getofmeland]

Lets just all agree Ellis is Crap!!!

 

[Bullitt]

No arguement there. And so is O'Gara.

 

[eoino]

Yeah sure mate, :cheers:
You know a lot about kickers? Can you tell us how O'gara is crap? Could you kick under huge amounts of pressure, his kick score rate is one of the best in the world, now thats whats called the opposite of crap.

 

[Bullitt]

And he got a lot of those kciks today which made all the difference in open play, didn't he??? :bravo:

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

This thread will be on its 5th page by the time O'Gara completes his pass...

 

[shtove]

Why are midgets so bitter?

Jones had a big game tonight, but two weeks ago all the little people were writing him off.

If I were ROG I'd be hesitating before throwing it out to a misfiring midfield.

 

[Cymrurugbyfan]

Barry Davies' kick summed up the whole game for me. And nice sig teh_mite

 

[Rugby_Cymru]

O'Gara is a good player i grant that, but i refuse to accept it when the commentators claim that he is probably the 2nd best fly half in the world.
There are 2 MAJOR things that i see wrong wtih such a statement. O'Gara isn't a strong man. And O'Gara seems to crumble under pressue far too often for a world class, international fly half.

Regan King is one of the best centres in the world at the moment.
