Ulster v. Quins.

Post by Spiffy »

Ulster 52 - 24 Quins.
Charlie Walker is really fast. Anyone faster in the AP? May? Wade? Probably not.

May almost certainly is. Wade would be an interesting footrace. Wade potentially has better acceleration according to this, amazing recovery on his part:

Walker is rapid and scored a really nice try last night.

Quins defending was simply awful.

What’s new?

Our defence is regularly terrible.

Given the weakened side we put out and given that we had no chance of progressing, I actually thought it was a reasonable performance with some definite positives to take away.

Elia and Bothma were both good again and I thought Archie White stepped-up on his performance on his first European start.

On the less positive side, Sinckler clearly isn’t learning ... he was playing really well and then undid all his good work with a ridiculous, obvious and totally unnecessary late hit which earned him a yellow card. It’s so frustrating as he’s a genuinely talented player.

Yep, Sinckler was good and is such a talent. he's really got to stop acting like a twat, though.

It was just the idiocy of it that got me. He got wound up by the crowd near the start of the first half and spent the next ten minutes furiously working to try and prove them wrong, with very mixed results, and after the second jeered knock-on in a row, he then needlessly and obviously steps across a kick chaser and drops his shoulder. Well, you certainly showed that crowd Mr Sinckler, well done. Not that Quins were likrly to come back, but that yellow killed any chance of it.

He needs to see a sports psychiatrist pronto, cause right now he's just a liability to any team, no matter how well he plays.
