(I´m pretty sure I just heard Jamie Heaslip cry)....
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

That is a very, very strong Ulster team. Fez at 8 will be worth a look.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
I know... the backline is delicious,...!!

God that's an indifferent looking Glasgow team!

That's probably the strongest HEC team outside France [with the possible exception of Saracens]- and a reasonably good bench too. For me Los Todgeros Blancos are a sure thing for the HEC Final in the Aviva next May - I'm so pleased that I bought 6 HEC Final tickets back in May!Originally Posted by i_like_cake

What games are people looking forward to this weekend?
Quins v BO
Toulouse v Leicester

Zebres v Connacht. Connacht's first game in the HEC where they start as favourites! Interesting to hear how Eric and Muldoon approach that one after watching The West Awake during the week.
Toulouse v Leicester

His body is only a fuel tank for his micky - a work colleague talking about a fella he knows.
Tiny and Muj could have a good game!!!
According to the ERC site, that's only being broadcast on Sky Italia. Clashes with our game as well. Hopefully there'll be a red button option, but I don't think you can record from that anyway.

Interesting to see highly rated 19 year old Samson Lee start at tighthead for the Scarlets against Clermont. Its been reported that he is comes from an Irish traveller family.
Not that it's promising to be any good or anything, but if anyone else is interested here is the line up for the Sale v Cardiff Game. Not holding out much hope for Cardiff, Sale are at the bottom of the premiership but Cardiff have lost both Jason Tovey and Rhys Patchell to injury and since then taken some heavy defeats at home. They have gone with Ceri Sweeney as FH and Gareth Davies is on the bench - the only options left really (I would have started Davies)
Ex Munster Mushy and Tuitupou starting for Sale. So is mr Plow.

The axe that cuts the tree can easily forget, but the tree thats been cut will not forget.
He was Jiffy's man of the match last week for the Scarlets - a tough scrummager. Looks a real beast - fair dues to him for opting for rugby rather than bare knuckle fighting. If he has Irish blood then the IRFU should move in pronto - it'll be very interesting to see him taking on the Leinster front row in the HEC.
You can record off the red button from Sky Sports (at least with Sky+ you can). However, I checked last night and this match is not being shown on the red button either.
Whats the problem with Williams?
He injured a rib IIRC
I haven't taken my Christmas lights down. They look so nice on the pumpkin
Ferris looking doubtful for tonight's game.

Ferris, ruled out.
Thats all our big ball carriers gone. No Ferris, Wilson, Diack or Williams!!!!
It's Back
Early pressure on Ulster, a couple of penalties conceded inside the first 5 minutes including one at the scrum. Hopefully they're just finding their feet.
0-3.

Chance for Jackson to even up the score now, penalty against Castres for offside on the Ulster 22.

that should hav been ten points to Castres at half time.

Another try and pen for Ulster

No one watched the Scarlets - Clermont clash? Amazing! Loads of tries, red and yellow cards, etc. Big win for CA, but game of the weekend, thus far.
Looking forward to the Quins-Biarritz clash almost as much as I was looking forward to the Munster match.
(Let's hope it's a better spectacle)
Hopefully the reffing standard will improve too.
