Wow, out of jail there. So many mistakes. I thought we were done when Hastings went off, but shows what I know.

Need to improve though. Thought some of the penalties we gave away were dreadful, including the one at the end. The ref was screaming at him to leave it, so just fucking leave it mate!

Saw an interesting tweet by Jaime Lyall. Turns out Grigg was in the right and the Ref apologised to him after the game, according to Rennie.  If that was true imagine if we lost the game now.

Thought at the time he was harshly penalised. On his feet and legal, when Davies shouted at him to Release. Davies has never really liked us and were pretty much guaranteed a sin binning from him. 

 

On Premier Sports, it was mentioned to them that the commentary was poor and very biased. They replied quite quickly stating that the commentators and cameras were Eir Ireland's rather than their own. They have said they'll look into it and see about getting their own commentators to cover it in future.

Yeah the commentary was brutally one sided. But it's no different from when the games were on BBC and you'd get the Irish commentators. Be nice to have some unbiased one or some Scottish ones that go on about "penas" so much.

Correct, nonsense penalty. Mind you Hogg getting a 22 out of dotting down behind the try line was err interesting too. Not Davies finest hour!

The AWJ penalty against Edinburgh game was a joke as well. The Ospreys jackaler got cleared and AWJ just walked in and picked up the ball. Lacey doesn't actually know the rules.

Or the lack of penalty at the end for 2 side entrys into the maul.
With your last point everybody can see that Lacey would be out of his depth at school level rugby apart from the refs bosses so he must have some other skills

Pro14 review show on Free Sports just now. Very pro-Irish and Welsh...
Just don't mention that on the Pro 14 or Premier Sports Facebook page or twitter feed. As any negative comments brings out the Irish fans defending it.

The coverage is clearly aimed at Ireland. There is only a single fixture overlap with Munster and Leinster and funnily enough it's on the Friday night of a Six Nations weekend.

The SRU have either been completely outmanoeuvred over this coverage or simply don't care about growing the fan base of the pro sides.

Edinburgh team vs Ulster

Edinburgh: Kinghorn; Fife, Bennett, Scott, Brown; Hickey, Pyrgos; Schoeman, McInally, Nel, Toolis, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Ritchie, Mata.

Replacements: Ford, Dell, McCallum, McKenzie, Crosbie, Kennedy, van der Walt, Johnstone.

Good to see Nel starting - hoping he gets a decent run of games under his belt

Although Glasgow's first choice of Dunbar and Jones are preferably to Scott and Bennett.

Also disappointing that Taylor is out injured again, he's had no luck at all
Just reading about Taylor, ACL damage and all Saracens are saying is that he is out "long term". Can't catch a break at all.
