URC 2024/25: Round 5

Can see us copping our first loss of the season here depending on selection. Don't think we're deep enough to go away with second choice selections and win interpros anymore.

Hoping for a mix, with Sam P starting and Frawley in as a safety net.
 
This I can put money on.

Stormers at home but Munster is some team to try and get back into the season against. Still gonna be without Roos and SFM and a few but Fourie and Libbok should be back for us and a huge boost.

Really don't like Byrne ahead of Prendergast on the bench. Seems like a perfect shot for Prendergast to play important minutes.
 
Really shows how many hooker injuries we have. Still both are very good young players. Strong team overall, I like it. Would love for King to get a go on the wing presume there's a reason for the lack of trust though.
 
Can't rag on Ulster so I'll rag on Gilroy's posh Belfast accent.

Ulster playing well and shrewdly.

What I'd do for Jacob Stockdale 2018 back.
 
Great win for Scarlets against a strong Bulls side. Think Bulls player was unlucky to pick up red card, yellow at most for me, but I don't think that was necessarily the difference, Scarlets were already on top prior to that.

Thought Plumtree and Macleod were great throughout. Costellow, James, and both wings good behind.

Hopefully last week and this can be a real springboard for the Scarlets' season.
 
Well, that's a monkey off the back. 3 intercept tries though. Will need to improve by a huge margin still.
 
The lineout was an utter shambles. And after fluffing 1 short restart, f**king up another within 5 minutes is poor judgement. Billy Burns is stealing a living. I felt Coombes got some harsh calls from Adamson.
Apart from that, it was all good by Munster.
 
Seen the pics of Etzebeth doing his best Schalk Burger impression, how has the TMO waved that off?
