Shhhh! Don’t mention the hockey!
Thanks Johnny “Hockey Boy” King. Dewi is starting to sound like Gary Neville licking Alex Ferguson’s boots the way he blindly supports the Ulster Management. Ulster did not get their tactics right with the selection of O’Connor over Humphreys. Ulster did not need to win this game by 18 points, they needed to win it by 1 point and score 4 tries. I have nothing against O’Connor who played his best game in an Ulster shirt but he is not he man to play fast and loose, Humphreys is. The Ulster Management obviously had a game plan but it should have been consigned to the bin once Grewcock saw red and Humphrey’s should have been brought on. The game might have had a closer score line but we would have won and scores 4 tries and not wondering today why we are not in the Challenge Cup having scored more points than both Gloucester and the Scarlets gaining a positive points difference in our group something which they don’t have.
Just because I happen to agree with the selection of O’Connor doesn’t mean I’m licking anyones boots Raven.
I don’t see how Humphreys could have changed anything given that Bath had the bulk of possession during the second half.
O’Connor did very well defending his channel and was the correct choice. The game never broke up enough to warrant the inclusion of Humph.
Anyway, where’s the pictures?
The Rosie was bunged yesterday for the game – great atmosphere and great result. Shame we don’t have European rugby to look forward to after the six nations but it was an excellent effort. I’m sure the guys will torture themselves about the Edinburgh away game. Still, it was great entertainment – what say you Raging Raven?
Qualification Update
With Gloucester winning 23 – 32 and scoring four tries in the process Ulster’s hopes for further European competition relies on Sale and Cardiff losing to Toulouse and Harlequins.
Either Cardiff or Sale will go through if they score a bonus point win. If Sale win and Cardiff lose Sale go through on tries scored. If Cardiff and Sale both win without scoring a bonus point Cardiff then finish second in their group and Ulster go through.
And there you have it with Cardiff humping Harlequins we are now out of the Challenge Cup.
