The most scrappy match this season. TV coverage not showing any replays that favour the Ospreys. Ulster diving in at the rucks and in from the side. Ref and assistants can't see it. Ospreys defence heroic, their ball handling comedic!
Fonotia looks very promising. Disallowed try (wrongly) and some deft handling. Will be good with some Stevo coaching. |

Robbed at 80 minutes. Poor Ospeys passing let's them down.

Credit to Ospreys for a great defensive effort but commentary was woeful.

Hardly say the Ospreys were robbed-great defensive display but Ulster had by far the biggest share of possession and a lot of it in the Sprays 22. They were losing even before the Ulster try and it was only the "neutral" Jonathon Davies in the commentary box, willing the Sprays to score a breakaway try ,that gave the impression that deserved to win it.

I think the blatantly pro-Ulster coverage and the blatantly pro-Ospreys Jiffy commentary cancelled each other out in the end.

I managed to watch the first half, turn over to watch the Masterchef final, then back to BBC2 again and I didn't miss a score.

Two sides who sacked their coaches mid-season and it was 3-0 at 80 minutes. The new incoming coaches/DORs have alot to do.

Jiffy & his co commentators haven't got a clue. They were all bigging the game up - it was woeful!!!. The skills on show were not worthy of professionals. Ospreys did defend well but Ulster's handling & decision making was a joke. Does not reflect well on Dwayne. Biggar again showed a total lack of ability to pass a ball but defended well so Gatland will be pleased.
On a more positive note I liked the look of Fonotia - decent defensively and good hands. Most of the Ospreys were not on his wavelength so he will benefit next season.

The IRISH TV presentation was awful, hardly showed any replays. The Ospreys defence was outstanding, while Ulster not very good especially after last week, were throwing passes to no one, and the Ospreys just could not go more than around 3-4 phases before losing the ball.
I must admit it was one of the best awful games of rugby I enjoyed. I now know why Cross wears a red scrum cap, because he can be seen, just looks out of place to me.

One of the worst games of the season. Ospreys didn’t know how to attack and Ulster just couldn’t. The commentary on both channels was my highlight. The Ulster commentator was hilarious (biased) whilst jiffy was just sad. All he did was “up” biggar and AWJ. At one stage I’m pretty sure I saw his nose up AWJ’s arsse when he went down injured.

Maybe a result that edges the undecided International wing towards a decision that excludes Ospreys.

I think this weekends results would push him towards a move to the CAP really. |

Yes, I to believe that he will now head towards the Blues, they now have the advantage of champions cup rugby over the Ospreys, and deservedly so. If he really wanted to return to us, or the WRU wanted him to return to us, then that decision would have been announced by now, as we are in the best position of any of the regions to offer him a successful team environment where he could prosper and thrive.
That game was just awful with both teams devoid of any ability to create any try scoring opportunities (Fonotia created his disallowed try himself) but the Ospreys were hard done by. How ironic that they are likely to be up against each other in the playoff spot for the final pro14 european cup spot. All we can hope for is that the next game is a better spectacle with neutral officials inc the TMO, and a neutral tv broadcaster with multiple camera angles available to the TMO. |
