Ulster clearout from the side of the ruck for the nth time already.

Reminds me of an Ikea tablecloth

Barnes tries desperately to ignore the neck hit.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 5:57 pm**

Another illegal clearout. Ulster player on the floor so is out of the game and not allowed to pull down Viallard.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 5:58 pm**

Vermeulen straight back in action. Ulster looking good.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:00 pm**

Safe to say Clermont wont be troubling the engravers of the trophy this year. They are a shadow of the team they used to be. Ulster not really having to work too hard for this.

Too good for this shower. Said last season ASM needed a total clearout. Too many players riding out their pensions.

That's putting it mildly.

0 - 16, is a fair reflection of the way they've run Clemont ragged

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:04 pm**

Would love to hear Gibbes' explanation for playing Barraque at 13 when he's basically a 10. Meanwhile Vili who is your archetypal crash bang player is at 12

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:05 pm**

There's brave; & then there's that tackle by Lowry

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:06 pm**

That is bollox by Barnes who is riding ASM at the breakdown.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:09 pm**

Try time.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:09 pm**

Terrible option made into a try by brilliance by Penaud. But Barnes trying everything in the book to find a reason to chalk it off.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:11 pm**

Yeah. Just f**k off Barnes.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:11 pm**

Christ, just give it and move on.

would you ever open the other eye. Barnes was clear, he wanted to check the offside & make sure there was no separation, & it was only the TMO dragging out the decision

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:13 pm**

Red card

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:14 pm**

Yes. He lost his feet because again the Ulster clear out players were illegal.

And that is a tip but what about the head shot at the ruck?

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:14 pm**

I'd say yellow

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:15 pm**

And O'Toole's hit? And the "not yellow" for the neck tackle on Iturria?

This +1 Barnes was happy to award, and yellow was the right decision.

Not disputing the tip. Reading some people's weak point?

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:18 pm**

Barnes has pretty much got every decision right for me.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:20 pm**

One thing for certain. Clermont won't be challenging for anything this season.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:22 pm**

Ulster should probably be further ahead, but they look far more cohesive than Clermont and if they maintain that they'll secure the win.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:27 pm**

Dunno much of the Clermont players, some big units who can change the game in a flash. Ulster need to keep it tight.

Yup. Game is done. You won't have seen how sh*te Clermont have been in T14 and that was with the players missing: Parra, Lopez, Jedrasiak, Fischer, Matsushima.

No. They don't. They need to keep the game at a high tempo because Clermont's defence has been sh*te all season. Only the bottom 2 clubs have conceded more points.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:46 pm**

Go for the corner. No. Go for the posts. No leadership....

{EDIT} Same result either way!!!

Yep. TMO check for a Sarries try last play of the game, TMO gave a penalty to Edinburgh.
Wow! Fantastic result! Well done boys!

Vok I was looking all over the place to check where EdinBokke are playing.

Second in the URC beats second in the premiership. Clear and conclusive evidence of which is the better league.

Apparently Nel gave a scrum master class (as well as scoring a try).

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:50 pm**

TF Viallard is off. He really is Parra's spiritual successor.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:55 pm**

Like I said. Penaud is the only player in this side worth his pay cheque at the moment.

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:55 pm**

That's why you have to have an OH who will break the line; & Penaud delivered a lovely finish

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:55 pm**

Penaud is such a good finisher

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:56 pm**

Hanrahan's become a lot more visible now Bezy's feeding him.

Yes. Parra Jr just slows every f**king thing down

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:02 pm**

How straight was that Barnes?

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:03 pm**

Clermont taking control now. Can't see Ulster getting back

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:04 pm**

Barraque gone too. ASM have a chance!

Posted: **Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:06 pm**

How is that not a scrum pen? F**k off Barnes you ***t
