Absolutely.
But chance of Nucifora saying "Sorry lads got that one wrong, I'm a fool, I change me mind, here's a great NIQ srum-half" not v. high, petition or no..
Rugby politics like all politics is the art of the do-able.

NIQs
A Wishlist? We would benefit from another lump of Saffer steel in the 2nd row when FcdM leaves - can't quite see Pete B and AOC leading the way without another NIQ signing. If Treadwell and AOC are going to develop to International level (?), someone needed to mentor them. And back row still looks l...

Re: U20s
Some very good ball handling along the re-jugged ireland backline, Terry Kennedy and Hugo Keenan looked sharp with ball in hand. Jonny McPhillips very composed with ball in hand and when kicking, has been key to both of the last two wins. And Andrew Porter gave a great cameo off the bench, steadied ...

Re: Northampton V Ulster Live
Excellent atmosphere in the ground, I was surrounded by Saints fans but all very friendly despite me shouting in their ears all game. Great stadium for watching rugby, lovely weather, and an exciting game. A lack of composure fat critical times, and a loss of lineouts that shouldn't have happened, s...

Re: The other side of Johann Muller
I think the relevance of this is that for Christian rugby players in the Southern hemisphere, there are a lot of Northern hemisphere clubs whose culture may be unappealing. I'm thinking of various English & French clubs for example where a player having deep interest in spirituality will be very...

Re: Positives and Negatives: Ulster V Dragons
Adam D'Arcy was badly at fault for the try - embarrassingly weak attempt to stop the runner. That's at least the 2nd try recently whereby D'Arcy as the last line of defence has gone missing. As far as I can see Adam can: kick to touch: ok field the high ball: reliably line break: excellent (though h...

Re: Ulster eye All Black to replace Botha
"Afoa has signed a 2½-year deal with Ulster commencing after this year's Rugby World Cup, which means he will still be eligible for the tournament. A new player in New Zealand sports agency Esportif International brokered the deal, which has created a buzz in the Kiwi player market. Afoa's agen...

I'm also an ex-pat, if I can get hold of a ticket can attend at short notice as I'm only a train ride away. All help appreciated!

Re: Llanelli v Ulster
Any thoughts on why Bryan Young, Ulster's penalty king in Ryan Caldwell's absence, is getting on the bench ahead of McAllister? I thought Paddy was doing well before his injury and now seems to be down the pecking order. Is he fully match fit yet?

Re: Ireland - France
Gotta say that Healy looked better scrummaging-wise than Court today.
But as for Darcy, and O'Leary, I don't know what more to say. Just not good enough at this level, again.
