Edinburgh v Ulster Nov 30 2020

[gowrie]

Watching us try to attack is just endlessly frustrating, why are we so slow and predictable. It's boring to go on about it over and over, but it's so unsuccessful I just can't understand what the coaches are seeing that we're not to persist with it?

Possibly worst 30mins since cockerill took over

organisation is a shambles, both sides of the ball. Being kids or whatever is one thing,but been together weeks now. No excuse really

Exactly we are missing 23 players i just want effort and organisation even with a limited game plan, first 30 was just honking, enough in the last 10 to give some hope but got to score first.

What a beezer.

[gowrie]

Gutting, he could have got it if he'd been onside

[joe soap]

knocked it on backwards

[joe soap]

knocked it on backwards

And then ulster get a penalty when they’ve knocked the ball back into the scrum

ref has stood on Shoeman's side since 1st scrum, when he gave a pen against him. wonder why? That one agains thim as well?

[gowrie]

Why can we not manage to concentrate for more than 15 minutes in a game

[joe soap]

that'll be the lineout gone soon

[joe soap]

tbf Carter can sprint

[gowrie]

Why is our lineout defence so utterly abysmal? Who's coaching the forwards? I don't think we've defended a single one without giving away a penalty.

Just stupid and inflexible, like a lot of things with how this team plays

Ref was niave scrums their th had his hand down or legs miles behind. Lineout they held jumper every time and bought pens and ultimately yellow card.

But biggest factor was how poor we were. Can't get our internationals back soon enough..

[gowrie]

We look like a team playing rugby 10 years out of date, and doing it very poorly. We're supposed to be a forward dominated team, but our pack have been getting shoved around, just cannot get my head around how poor our maul defence was today.

We'll get the internationals back, but we were barely any better with them at the beginning of the season. Don't see where the shift needed to make us competitive is going to come from

[Frank]

If our lineout strategy is to concede a penalty every time on the opposition throw, then it's working.
Some good stuff from the kids, Chamberlain, Blain, Miller and Hodgson when he came on. Schoeman took a while to get going, but the majority of the others floated in and out of the game. It's not going to work against top opposition and Cockers has a real job on his hands even when the test players return.

The team look like they've lost belief in the methods a bit.
