Re: Petrie departs…..

I'm pretty certain Nuciforia finished up when the 6 Nations ended, so this would be Huphries making a move to distance himself from any failure with that Ashton's fingerprints on it. Wouldn't surprise me if the wimens game got the same treatment after their 6 Nations is over.

Re: Ulster's finances

So football won’t go there, and rugby doesn’t need to go there…..maybe except for artificially set up matches. So GAA are probably the sole users…….and therefore the sole financiers. Imagine the Treasury in London deciding whether we put 200 million into the GB health service, education, controllin...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

I wonder would Aki, JGP, Hansen and Lowe et al have flourished under recent Ulster coaching tickets had they had this misfortune to end up here? They landed on these shores essentially as glorified journeymen and have been improved. Compare and contrast our mob who, at best, get a sympathy cap for ...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm

Back in action this weekend for the 1st time since the harlequins debacle. Expect to get stockdale and Stewart back, but unlikely to get any others. Important game in the context of top 8 qualification, will we see a change in fortunes or has the ship been fatally damaged? Definite change in fortun...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Watching that game, you just want to head up to Ravenhill and sack all the coaches.

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

I hope Humphries is totally ruthless when he fully takes over. Ulster have won nothing for years. Can't get any players into the International team. It's shameful really.

Re: Petries Answering Questions

Yeah. The terrace isn't pleasant when it's at capacity. I'm more than happy to take a dump on BCC, but this time they're right. I've heard UR are looking at filling in the corners.

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports

I don't go in for the "Dan's not the man" arguments, but perhaps he's taken us as far as he can. He turned round a sinking ship and made us a very good team again, but since the Scarlets Two left everything has gone downhill. He either needs his support staff to step up or they need to be ...

Re: pre-season friendlies

It will be Benetton charging that. They will have set up the paid live stream. I doubt if any of it goes to Ulster.

Re: 6 Nations 2023

No Ulster payers in the starting 15.
No Ulster born players in the squad.
Great advert for the academy.
