URC 2025/26 - Round 11

[Leonormous Boozer]

All could be redeemed. Cmon lads.

 

[Gavin]

Munster have the 3rd, 30th, 300th and 3,000th best 10s in Ireland on their books I reckon.

Wood hasn't been that bad since coming on

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wood hasn't been that bad since coming on

He's number 30. Certainly better than JJ and but threw away a chance to take the lead by getting too greedy.

Munster need a total reset, don't look like a team who want it to be honest. Flashes of good rugby but they were out fought by Glasgow all day.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Awful conditions, I am surprised the ref did not call it off after sixty minutes and keep the result valid. However, Scarlets did just about hold onto the draw.

 

[dullonien]

Anyone mention Macs Page for internstional duty im going to show them this game, 4/5 high balls dropped, 2 knock ons and 2 kicks dead.

Yeah, he's really gone backwards after a great start to his pro career. Leggatt-Jones really struggled too, but it was his first start so I'll give him the benefit of doubt for now, but man was it a shaky showing and ultimately cost Scarlets the win!

Jac Davies i though did ok, hes still raw and has some issues, but at least he seems to have the basics. Page looks like his confidence is shot.

i will caveat it was a weakened team maybe disruption didnt help, but as a winger dropping 4 of 6 first half, 5 werent under any pressure, even in poor conditionss awful.

Also Scarlet have to move on from Gareth Davies, soon his zimmerframes goingnto get in the way. Hes still making young man decisions and moves like an oil tanker.

Really impressed with the tight 5 tho, scrum went really well, breakdown they were competitive, maulling D and attack looked good.

I know it was foggy and all but how did he miss that conversation at the end to win the game. Nice quick offload to Page for that try though.

Jesus, visability was basically zero, he’s like 19 years old and he’s not a winger. Hes a center. Give him a break.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Also, lets be honest, no one had a ******* clue what was going on during most of that game.

I missed the last 15, i gave up the quality was so low.

I gett hes young, and conditions werent great but Davies is inly a few starts in, and the other kid was on debut, both did better.

Page is 21 and 30 pro appearances in now, he looked cracking when he appeared first, but he has struggled since, hes just nowhere near int level

I’d rather he was in the squad than Owen Watkin.

Thats harsh at least Watkin will provide some physicality in backline training... if the plan is just to scrap, he and Adams would be my odds on favourites if thay backline royal rumbled... but then id also put my 9 year old daughter in 3rd, its a disgracefully small and weak group of backs.

We could field a big back line. I know Llewellyn is out but we’ve got him, Hennessy is a big boy, Hawkins, James, Grady. All big lumps with pace too.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

that's my boy

But they are all soft, Grady, Llewellyn James especially, tall and slim, but no aggression or ****le to them, (yet if im being charitable) Hennesy im reserving judgement for, hes young and he could become a solid international player.

My point is Watkins and Adams are probably our most powerful carriers in the backline, and neither should probably be playing International rugby, but theyre all we have.

Don’t diss my boy James. He gets over the gain line 9 times out of 10. He’ll fill out a bit too as well I reckon.

Also, for all his flaws, Grady is a way better carrier than Watkin or Adams.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

that's my boy

Sharing that twitter account should cop an auto-ban to be honest.

Hope Frawley going sees Tector get a lot more gametime.

 

[big ginger 8]

Fantastic timing from me.

Ye i like him, hes onenof those guys who looks classy, but just isnt effective. The anti Johnny May. I think he will come good at 13, indont see Llewellyn there long term, and Tompkins, Watkins and Thomas are all proven not up to it.

Grady is not better than Watkins IMO, certainly not in the tight. Grady looks great, but falls to peices, and if he has to make a decision in defence he gets stage fright.

YOu know me, im a height supremecist, butbid go Bowen over Grady all day long!

 

[big ginger 8]

Grenade squad.

 

[big ginger 8]

Snyman is either amazing or shite in these matches.

 

[dirty harry]

Bit of a sad turn out for the Ospreys protest before KO at the Brewery field, nice moment on 11 minutes of lights and chants of shame on you but in reality all 500 who took part kind of says to the WRU the Ospreys just arent supported well enough.

Apparently pre 6N protesrs being organised

 

[dirty harry]

If there was ever a game of rugby that incapsulated the phrase:

Its like 2 bald men fighting over a comb

This Ospreys win is it

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Scarlets survived the conditions to get the draw. Ospreys had to fight back against an awkward Dragons side.

 

[Amiga500]

Just in case yez missed this... Pure filth.



I believe the Front Row Union have issued a writ demanding he hand his membership card in immediately.
