oh **** this is a huge kick and why isn't jackson taking it?????
|
|
By:
that was daft. jackson is a + 80% kicker. i don't get it
|
|
By:
i just don't understand why hogg kicked. makes no sense
|
|
By:
Gutted. Fck knows why he didn't take it. deserved the win IMO
|
|
By:
i'm shellshocked. i just will never understand why when you have your regular goal kicker on the pitch you would give the ball to an occasional kicker. it just beggars belief.
|

By:
As they say in the US, you gotta make those plays. They made Leinster look plain average. Shame he couldn't knock it over.
|
|
By:
actually no it does not beggar belief it is f***ing insane
|
|
By:
Gotta say though, I never saw that season coming. Townsend has done a good job, a player revolt was probably more likely than what they achieved. They have done the opposite of my expectations, grown as the season has gone on.

By:
i agree MB but i still can't get my head around that ending. jackson is over 80% and kicking is his job. why on earth did hogg take it. i'm mystified.
|
|
By:
It's not just the choice of kicker that is questionable , but the try scorer went over the try line between tired , lumbering forwards and touched down as soon as he could . If he had thought about things he would have done his damnedest to get closer to the posts . IMO

By:
Too true mate. Cost me about 300, or at least the chance of a decent lay, but c'est la vie hey. You could be as bad as the Dragons
 |
|
By:
Nl, what are your thoughts on Townsend at season's end? Not saying that to rile you, genuine question as you know you were unhappy in the circumstances that Lineen left. Townsend looks to have taken them to another level...
|
|
By:
nah i'm not blaming bennet at all he got the ball down in decent kicking range. the rest was madness. who knows maybe jackson would have missed but he is the first choice goal kicker so why on earth was hogg up at the tee
|
|
By:
fair point MB. i was very unhappy the way sean was sidelined and still am. i can't fault townsend though as he has got the side playing with real flair. the core of that side though are lineens team, the lads he brought through like grant, low, murchie, horne, weir, wilson etc etc.
he brought through a generation of players that GT has to call on plus they used to play on a very narrow pitch so expansive rugby was impossible. maybe it was time for a change but the way it was done leaves a sour taste and we will never know how far sean could have taken them. |

By:
True words, and not trying to provoke here. I suppose it has made his job of crafting easier, and to add to it he's obviously had some money/support floating about with signings like Strauss and Maitland
|
|
By:
we didn't see mailand coming but i believe that was lineen that signed him up. not sure who signed nico & strauss but whoever it was did very well
|

Who was MOM lads? Presume it was made on Irish tv?
|
|
By:
If Matawalu was British he would be a Lion. No doubt. He has a Shane Williams type quality
|
|
By:
Dunno MB. It was on the local Gaelic language station so I had the mute button on for most of it and wasn't paying attention to commentary.
|
|
By:
Matawalu defies logic. He crabs and crabs, but then he's gone or flicks a pass out of the back of his hand and someone else is. He draws defenders like a back row forward.

Heaslip got MOM. Missed the 1st 50 mins but feel gutted for Glasgow that they didnt sneak it in the end, could watch that style of rugby all day long, some of the offloading was unreal.
Analysts on TG4 were saying that Leinster were out on their feet in the last 15 and that there is no way they will be able to win the 2 finals, with only a 6 day break until the Stade game. Joe Schmidt seemed unhappy with the reffing at the scrums in the 2nd half after the subs came on. |

if there is a team i wouldn't bet against doing it it is leinster. it is amazing how battle hardened the irish teams have become. when i was growing up they were a "soft touch" (not the players who were hard as nails but the winning mentality) and more than any others steeped in the amateur code.
what has happened since has been remarkable. |
