The UAFC

Some good impact from the bench, not so confident on Shanahan or Humphreys though. Mcnabney must be in good shape all the same. Big confidence booster for him. I'd be more worried about Doak and Humphries than Shanners. Least the game'll speed up why may suit Morgan, who seems to play flat. Good lu...

The spec will be greatly reduced, probably more terraces and less of the expensive stuff UEFA required.

£300m? Vanity project

I was all for the Maze or a new waterfront site for all three sports (and others). Far too sensible an idea.

Yup

Go for it UR. £16.4m versus £400m..... How is Casement value for money? Given IRFU also benefitted from Ravers rebuild with a free stadium they didn't have to forgo loan repayments on and a cut of 10 years gate money.. Has Ravers nearly paid for itself? GAA committing the same they did at outset is ...

Assume Andrew and McCormick as Hookers. Baptism of fire. Hendo back. Doak/ Shanners Humphries or Murphy backing Morgan or Lowry/ Doak? No TOT so assume EOS, Andrew and Wilson. Hendo and Sheridan to stack the row. McCann Reffell and? No Issy which is ridiculous since he didn't get time in SA. Could b...

Great to hear re Stu. If Dan thought RL didn’t have what it takes to be a pro rugby player, he’s hardly been proved wrong. Rob Lyttle rarely put a foot wrong in his limited appearances for Ulster. And wasn't indulged like some under Dan. Regular try scorer, hard working and a brave tackler. Lower c...

You'd hope he'd be open to coming back if he'd any international ambitions.

Was he not missed at schools level and went to Uni in Exeter(?), made the varsity team then fell onto Exeters radar? Something like that

Another missed by Ulster...

Just me or have we some big young lumps? McNabney, Brigg, McKillop, Irvine. Of course it takes more that size, but a big rig to work with certainly helps. I read an article saying we rank 5th out of all URC sides for weight/height. Hopefully not all blubber but prime ribeye fast twitch muscle [emoj...

Some of the guys are looking more powerful by the looks of that video- Dave McCann seems even bigger, McNabney has filled out and I thought Stu Moore looks to be a lot more solid. New S&C coach is doing a good job by the looks of things.. Very feel good vibe from that video .. hopefully it tran...

Morgan likes to play on the gainline which is a must for teams who lack the bulk to crash it up. You can see the gameplan of hitting runners off short passes in midfield hoping for line breaks. Sent from my SM-F721B using Tapatalk What’s his tactical kicking like? Ulster had to rely too much on the...

Not impressed with Telfer. Seemed to be badly out of condition. After half time I was going to put my season on 'We buy any season ticket' but they did better in the last quarter so I'll probably just keep it. Interesting as I see he got MOM…you must know something different to those making that ca...

My few thougshs were that Barrett did ok but if he's to stay after his trial will need to get his fitness up, Reffell is a gem if he can stay fit at all and although very early days Doak seemed to be getting the ball away a lot sharper than his norm, helped out Morgan who looks like he can certainl...

Cheers Volvo could only read about two lines as I refuse to subscribe. Hypocrisy of the highest order from BT. I'm sure GAA and Golfing Ireland will tell them to mind their own bidness

Chips and gravy for two and a half quid plus a couple of cask ales available at the well staffed bar.

No pics of big Wade the peeler?
