Sorry To Burst Your I Hate Union Bubble But Brian O'Driscoll Scored A Try In The 57th Minute...

Brian O'Driscoll scored a try!

He must have fallen asleep for that bit

Like most of the crowd in Croke Park to probably.
One of the worst RU games i have ever seen.

thanks i thought for a minute i must have dreamt a try was scored

Armitage scored aswell

Yeah Your Right In The 79th Minute...

Leeds Academy beat Hull FC's academy 1 - 0 a few years backk...

Bet that was a rip roaring event.

My mistake...



this is how its listed on Sky Sports News and the TRIES as such arent designated...well thats my excuse. but the "conversion" is a bit of a give away I suppose.

Did Leeds Beat Widnes once in a cup tie 4-2 no trys

It was actually - a very entertaining game.

Cracking game if I recall @ KFC…!!!!

Surrounded by Hull fans, in fact the most one sided support I’ve ever witness at a Leeds match.

Which reminds me of the last time I went to Hull – I was on the telly you know? Have I mentioned it before?

Surely it can't have been that bad. I've seen loads!

i think two years a ago there was a game at the willows between harlequins vs salford that fhinished without a try and a final score of 5-2.

Didn't we beat Cas a few years back, in a night game (pre SL) and there were no tries.

There was also Wigan's defeat of maly in the World Club Challenge (IIRC 8-4) and again no tries.

Because of the pathetic rules of Union, a game with no tries is usually as dull-as-ditchwater, but in League it is usually a tight, close and really entertaining game. You could tell how cr*p the Union 1st half was by their highlights package lasting about 10 seconds at the break and that included both kicks.

I wasn't long before I remembered Quins Vs Pies on Sky shortly afterwards ...

Your right I have hated it ever since being shown the door at Otley RUFC for shouting "come on get stuck in"



Not the done thing you now old chap

i remember a game between leeds and widnes i think it was a rl cup quarter final and we won 5-1 and i dont think a try was scored.
the date was circa 1983 i think, and it was a great exciting game we all thought old jeff grayshon was going to do it at last and get to wembley , but the rest is history

You know its a bad game when even the commentators describe it as 'turgid'.

The funny thing with union is that often a poor game ends up with an exciting finish though.

awesome ...

The Leeds / Cas game was 8-4.

Aye!

One of the best academy games I have ever seen. Have it on DVD too. The defence from both teams was brutal and there was a Thunder storm in the background.

BTW the last time I went to Hull I caught Sinfields drop goal (bloody TV cameras swithched to Sinnys face before it landed)

Woahh, you were behind me. Did you give it to a kid on your right?

anyone who thinks union is good should check out the bbc highlights of wales v france friday night. highlights last 5(ish) minutes of which you see 3 tries ,no replays or anything(even tho one of them is actually a cracking ball of the wales stand off), lasting 25 seconds. lots of kicks in at goal (including all the missed penalties

) which last about 2.5/3 minutes, and then rest is a group of bloke hugging.


the best part of the highlights, is the 40 seconds they spend showing & commenting on the ball hitting the over-head camera

great sport is union

Cracking game that, strong defence is the 'Key To Success' right ?
