Record-breaking Ulster demolish sorry Zebre


Comments
Comment
Ulster set a new club record for points scored in a Pro12 fixture, running in 10 tries in their 68-21 thrashing of Zebre on Saturday.
 
Victory moves Ulster back into the top four, four points clear of fifth-placed Scarlets with five rounds of the regular season remaining.
 
After Luke Marshall’s early opener for the hosts at Kingspan Stadium, Zebre briefly levelled through Andre De Marchi, but that was as good as it got for the bottom club, who have just one win to their name this season.
 
Marshall soon went in for a second and Ruan Pienaar, Charles Piutau and Jacob Stockdale all crossed before half-time.
 
Craig Gilroy, Piutau, John Andrew, Stuart Olding and Paul Marshall touched down in the second period as Zebre’s defence was repeatedly carved open.

I think they’ll be able to do it under Rennie, whose game model is built around possession.

And it will continue to develop over time.

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

Not being able to practice whilst your mates are sweating it out is still not ideal and in some cases would mean you not being selected but it was a special case with a special player involved it’s exactly the same for Ardie who not only great player but a great servant of NZ rugby Schoolboys U20s 7s ABs been going at it more than a decade and may I add some saying he chose money by going well money to a dude who didn’t even have a car in the family growing up might have a very different value on that money and how that can provide a life he could only dream about for them

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

These New Zealand journalists and ex-players act like they're the ones in charge, always demanding certain players or positions as if their opinion is fact, and now they're all insulted that Ardie Savea is being rested, because they think they know his body better than the coaches do. But if they're such geniuses, why aren't they coaching top teams around the world instead of just writing columns and making noise from the outside?

It’s not in the the realms of fantasy he is obviously a quick learner and it’s kind of a risk reward thing you cannot deny he goes at it no matter and you know going to get a voracious defender in saying this I’m hoping we see Pledger kick on as it can’t just be about mitigation on the bench but real deal impact

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

I am a South African - and there is not a single Springbok captain I can think of who would send his mates into battle while he lay in bed with his wife. Good luck with the upcoming tour. I agree he doesn’t have to play those provincial games but let me tell you any Springbok captain would be in the changing rooms, on the practice field and running water for those provincial games. If he was my captain I certainly would not want to play for him.

McCaw did not practice because he had three broken bones in his foot ffs.

Sort of different to staying at home in NZ to hang out with his family while his teammates are on tour, don’t you think.

Of course he was part of the decision along with Rennie.

Some would tell Hamish the obvious.

The point of a sabbatical is to play overseas and make two or three times more money for a season.

Springboks fans have never been humble

Dan the author - big (or massive) difference here is that whether you think Pieter Steph would have said that when he was 5 games into international rugby and had not won a world cup or international rugby player of the year? Because we can imagine Pollock saying something so verbose and unearned. Context is everything tjom.

Both teams can. It is a series. It can even be a draw.

Like you are presuming the Boks can't handle the AB’s running game? Pot, kettle ring ring?

Maybe your AB’s won't handle the Boks defence? 🤭🤭

What a clown the author is. The players play way too many games and relative to other sports get paid very little. College football players in the US now make more than Ardie after they allowed them to monetise the social media etc. rest up Ardie.

Dave Rennie explains Noah Hotham omission and possible Carter switch

You seriously think a player who has never played halfback at SRP is going to win you a big test match if he has to go in at the 20 minute mark?

There is a reason that Carter was moved from halfback to wing. He was an average NPC halfback with no potential of advancing his career without making a positional switch to wing.

There are many 50/50 calls that went in favour of the Chiefs over other franchises.

Norris over Tu’ungafasi, Mafileo
