Re: Luke retiring at the end of the season
To brave for his own good in his early days and had some bad injuries which took toll of his pace and cost him many Irish caps forwards make it past 30 easier than backs and training for a seat on the bench loses its appeal quickly . Enjoy the future but watch the calories!!!

Re: Montpellier v Ulster, Sunday April 7 12:30pm KO (UK Time), Viaplay Sports
Justin Cooney’s tackle was high it was the tackle by ToT which was a harsh call My point is basically that a referee and his known disposition can effect how a team play and players performance and imo Ulster were trying to play within that frame work although Cooney was getting a little frustrated ...

Re: Montpellier v Ulster, Sunday April 7 12:30pm KO (UK Time), Viaplay Sports
Ref watch In the first half the penalty count was Ulster 8 Montpellier 0 The true count should have been Ulster 7, Montpellier 3 Note I don't accuse him of making up Penalties against Ulster on every occasion just once for what he termed a high tackle when in actual fact the player being tackled was...

Re: Montpellier v Ulster, Sunday April 7 12:30pm KO (UK Time), Viaplay Sports
Doak gives a longer and better pass than Burns at the moment he is under pressure being classed as novice and thus target for the day
Can’t give an assessment on his kicking as he has been playing a shuffle pass game.

Re: Teflon Man

Re: Kits Off
A loose head is not there to destroy the tight head he his there to steady the scrum and withstand the ( frequently illegal ) pressure put on him by the tight head thus ensure your possession on your ball . The only way a loose head can put pressure on the tight head is by BORING or PULLING or LIFTI...

Re: Any word on the Academy?
Term break selections are basically a lottery of not necessarily the best but the available . Hence the numbers selected and the fact the games are not so much competitive but indicative of potential or in many cases the lack of it .

Re: The run in
I would prefer Munster at home and Leinster away when looking for possible points But what you face when playing either province depends on what they may face before or after their Ulster match. A win against Bennett is essential they being only team in the 6 which Ulster face the results and how ot...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
Sheridan is not a six like Henderson he is second row who can play six if necessary . Whereas T Beirne is a six who can play second row and does for Ireland due to the strength of the Irish back row . Sheridan will be in the second row when Henderson retires or goes abroad for the money because His ...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
The Stormers were a fit physical outfit who concentrated a rush defence at Doak who was identified as a green out half he was looking at three closing on him in the first 10 -15 minutes the pressure was ease by putting the ball wide . and keeping play in the stomers half -- come half time the roles ...

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?
Jackman is a stirrer and sitting behind Crawley won't improve his chances neither would the fact it is a one year contract. The damage in his remark is that it may dissuade players to come to Ulster although the fact remains Burns ,when he signed for Ulster was promised ? an Irish Cap which he got, ...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
English commenters are a real pain in the R/s
There are few playing their last season I think and Capt I’m not sure how much Lowe has improved he keeps his place for his kick and catch game most of his trys are close to being walk overs

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Ireland may haves difficult game here if the penalty against Lowe is to be an Englishman’s standard against Ireland .
