Take note Premiership Rugby, this is how you do a highlights package: No spoilers in titles, extended passages of play, no penalty kicks
I know right! It's like Premiership just want to ruin highlights so it would force the watcher to subscribe to enjoy the matches.
Very true. What could be funny to find out is this is the same editor hired to do these for the champions cup 😂🤦🏻
why is no penalty kicks a good thing? Why would you not want to see scores
@@jessica_7474 If they are clutch kicks then I wanna see them, but when there are 10 kicks per game it just takes up time in the already short video
Look at the thumbnail of this video
Everything went a bit downhill for us after McCloskey went off. Just proves how valuable he is. His offloading and attracting more than one defender to the tackle is what opens up defences for us. Hope his hammy isn’t too bad.
Thank god they take players off quickly these days, might have saved his season.
Some real talent coming through for Ulster.
Saints definitely not getting the rub of the green at times in the first half, and it cost them. Well played indeed Ulster.
Duane walking a lot. Don’t forget he just had covid and went straight into the match day 23
I thought it was crazy to not take the kick for the final penalty, but with the momentum having swung, perhaps there was a chance for a bounce off the post and back into play and the Saints to win the game, unlikely as it may have seemed.
Hadn’t thought of that.
The Ulster team must still be having nightmares about the Gloucester game this time last year
Also, Burns is an awful player. So you be cognisant of that
@Jay M Nothing against him but he dose have a few weaknesses in his game like his tackling is very poor even for his size
I agreed with O'Driscoll during the game but watching the replay he is clawing at it rather then open palm and going for the top of the ball if you intended to catch the ball your hand would be open and trying to get under the ball
In two minds maybe thinking putting it straight to boot but very risky there so fair card
@@vernontaylor7950 No that doesn't really merit serious debate for me tbh the more I see it the ref was right one hand clawing down at the top half of the ball
@@DM-rp9ik fair but reading his reaction it looks more innocent but in the red zone so card correct
PRL sides are just grist to the mill for Irish provincial teams. The gap is huge when you consider that, aside from Sarries, the ledger is about 90% in Irelands favour when the two countries meet in European competition.
Outside of Saracens no GP team has beaten Leinster or Munster since 2015/2016 that will be 6 years time in a few weeks
Ireland have a tiny population though, but an international squad to match Englands. Their squad is obviously tighter packed in just 3/4 teams. It is what it is. Ireland could no way support 12 teams.
@@rileyreid5393 you Mean ROI and Northern Ireland both have tiny populations
@@rileyreid5393 But the Ireland team is 13 or 14 Leinster players which beat the All Blacks none of the players involved outside Henderson are in the Ireland 23
@@rileyreid5393 which in my mind makes a mockery of the vociferous club rugby followers in England who can't see any other way than the current inefficient model with clubs on the precipice of financial ruin and reliant on benefactors. English rugby is always fighting with a hand tied behind it's back, committed to a club rugby structure that can't sustain itself and instead leaches off the RFU international setup income which should be funding grassroots. The whole system is a potemkin village exercise to pretend the club game is buoyant.
Northampton Saints should look at Renaldo Bothma or Henco Venter at Flank and Jeremy Ward at 13
Apologise for the language? This is a rugby match, not a WI nitting circle.
How are ulster complaining about crossing when they're tackling the ball carrier? 😂
Well if you're a Saints fan what can you say about that ? ???
ulster are good too tho
Saints average margin of defeat in Ireland is 31 points so that's not the worst result for them granted Ulster where poor tonight outside the first 20 minutes completely asleep for most of the game
What's that Billy Burns doing not kicking for goal and trying to prevent the bonus point. Unreal poor decision.
With two losses, Saints probably can’t qualify anyway- or at least they’ll be Claremont’s problem, not Ulster’s. Ulster already had the 5 points regardless. If the penalty comes back off the posts and Saints run the pitch and score, it would have been a disaster. Kicking it out was the best option.
Probably because he'd just played 80 minutes and was relieved to win the game with Saints having the momentum in the last quarter. Cooney does most of the thinking for the back line anyway.
Something tells me it won't matter
Because winning the game is more important than preventing a bonus point. The kick might not have gone dead, giving Saints the opportunity to counter and perhaps score a try to draw the game, with a kick to win it. Kicking the penalty would not have cost Ulster anything, conceding a try would have lost them 2 points and having it converted would have cost them a further 2. Nah, take the 5 when it's on offer.
Off the ball tomorrow: so huh, no Leinster game, nothing to talk about I guess…
They talk about munster the most
That’s how it is, I mean works both ways, you don’t see the Belfast telegraph talking about the other three more than they do for Ulster.
Off The Ball are 35% Munster, 30% women’s rugby having conniptions, 20% Leinster, 10% Ulster and 5% Connacht.
@@Dreyno yeah that's the OTB formula or 50% who will replace Sexton
@@DM-rp9ik While dismissing everyone after 40 minutes. “Oh woe is us, who will replace Seton?……Carty? No, Japan. Byrne? He’s boring. Other Byrne? Looked dodge against Argentina. Carbery? Who cares what his form is, his “ceiling” is so dreamy like his hair. He’s broken again?…..”
Need to improve the intercept / deliberate knock on interpretation. It’s either hero or zero and the yellow card hurts the game
That's the point. Don't go for what you can't catch.
He goes for the top of the ball not the bottom and he claws at it he would need an open hand
Ulster looked to be daydreaming for most of the game bar the first 20 minutes which is kind of their thing this year 1 big performance followed up by one they might as well be sleepwalking into it. Other than that a typical English side vs Provincial side Northhampton plenty physical but taken to the absolute cleaners at the breakdown their back row was so unbalanced just 3 big lads to run into people but nothing that's gonna trouble a half-decent team
@Jay M Im not a Glasgow fan I just think Ulster should have buried this Northampton team
Second Ulster try was touched down short, and then a second movement got the touchdown. Try awarded. The standard of refereeing is pretty dismal in this competition.
Duane looking a bit tired there to be honest
Covid takes it's toll perhaps?
@@Karma-qt4ji and having played rugby basically non stop since lions tour
@@MrLONGJOHN11 Ye. But this is Thor we are speaking about - he can handle non-stop rugby :)
How would Northampton do against the Blackrock 2014 SCT team they keep getting mangled by players from those years in the school Timony this year Doris the year before
Probably more manageable than the St. Michael's lads
@@rhymeocerous Now that wouldn't be fair but how many times have Cooney Madigan Fitzgerald and Ringrose pissed in their cornflakes over the years their coach really seemed to take the hump after the game gonna take it out on poor old Newcastle 😁
Are this hugs and embrasses after scoring a try necessary or essential in modern rugby ? Please don't copy football, be modest...
Maybe the should stand to attention and salute George Soros instead?
Yeah it's very normal human behavior to celebrate something your team has done
@@DM-rp9ik no no OP is right, why even bother with the pretense of the game at all, let's just all salute George Soros
At,end,why,not,taken,penalty,too,take,the,bonus,point,off,the,saints
If it comes off the post and stays in play, saints could have won. Kick it out and Ulster get 5 points and sit on 9 in the standings. Northampton sitting on 1 point or 0 with 2 games remaining is much more likely to effect someone else more than it will effect Ulster.
The whole interception rule in Rugby is really stupid.
Boo hoo 😣😣🎅
