The UAFC

I think Sullivan Upper went through a golden period when Willie Anderson was there coaching. If my memory is correct, here's a piece of evidence that spending a bit of money on a good coach is well worth it. Is there not an argument for grammar schools in NI to have a sports stream, with both a fee...

Too many squads, talent diluted in the north. If your not involved in an ulster training squad of some sort then it’s a surprise. Bring back Ulster schools when it was the best 15 players in the province. No need for u16,u17,u18 and u19. Too many egos being created. Sent from my iPhone using Tapata...

Bit worrying at start of season for them. Rumoured to be pulling out of AIL.

A senior club not having a front row available is fairly damning...

St Michael's to be precise

Two I believe have huge potential, 1 moreso than the other. Be interesting to see if any have to move school after GCSEs

interesting to note that there's a number of lads in that team who are 15 or just turned 16 this summer and just about to enter 5th year at school.

So let me get this straight... Kingspan were involved in a some dodgy but not necessarily illegal activity, upon investigation, text messages between main parties were found to be less than ideal, and in someways morally corrupt... but Kingspan at this point are not guilty of anything... so the rela...

Also, Paddy struggled more than the others mentally with the false accusations and surrounding circus, and found isolation in France very very difficult.

I hope this is correct, as this could be an excellent pathway for younguns to learn, develop and stay connected to the game is used and supported appropriately by the branch.

Trimby with an interesting piece on his podcast this week. Said that Ulster played their best rugby when PJ was really challenging the outside backs and flinging wide passes with the expectation that somebody be in the right place to catch it and exploit the space, haven't seen evidence of that in ...

maybe we're not good enough, our structures arent good enough, the coaching isnt good enough... but more importantly any Ulster side has lacked serious barsteward for years, no street smarts, no proper doirty ballixes to lead us into battle, our Barista based culture is too nice... we are soft and h...
