Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm

Disturbing lack of basic skills, rugby intelligence, physicality, character and leadership. Poor old Stockdale looks totally washed up. Even with just a few minutes to go you just felt that Ulster were going to throw it away. Time for some serious rebuilding and a new coach. A cleansing of the Augea...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Prop is clearly Ireland's biggest weakness. I get France are incredibly strong there, but Porter is a penalty machine and Furlong I can't say I noticed tonight. Spot on. Bealham has been better than Furlong for about two seasons now. Wish Ireland could find an alternative to Porter. Even oul fella ...

Re: Leinster v Ulster Mon Jan 1 5:15pm KO

Fantastic win. Not many visiting teams do it in Leinster. How does Timoney rate in the Ireland back row peck order at the moment? He does not get much exposure compared to the other current whiz kids, but he's big, powerful,consistent, very fast and can play all three positions. Yet all the talk is ...

Re: Pro12 Final Leinster v ULSTER MoTM?

Stu for just rocking into contact as first man time and time and time again. Yes> Stu is 100% reliable and will blatter away willingly all day. But, on the other hand, opponents know exactly what to expect and it is not that hard to deal with. Ulster really lack a smart, speedy, playmaking midfield...

Re: Ulster Squad 2019/20

Pity Baggy has left us. I would love to see his reaction to "Shinnerboots" on the Ulster squad.

Re: Ulster v Connacht Fri Dec 27th 7:35pm

The Ulster defence in that game was fantastic. They have taken it to a new level this year. Luke Marshall does not get anything like enough credit for the work he gets through both in defence and attack. I see him as Ulster's midfield rock now. He's still pretty mobile for a centre who's built like ...

Re: Belfast Tele poll

I think the hardest selections are in the centre Marshall, McCloskey, Olding, Cave and Payne ( Paddy Wallace unfortunately lacks the defensive quality to qualify ) Full back Terblanche and Payne are neck and neck Wings Trimble Bowe and Stockadale are the front runners by a mile No !!!!! Towards the...

Re: Ulster Vs Harlequins Sat 7th Dec @ 15.15 BT Sport

Great rugby by Ulster. Cooney, Ludik, Marshall, Burns all playing well I like Ludik, who always gives 100%. But he really should have scored a try when he was in the clear and caught from behind by Danny Care. No substitute for real pace at this level, and most top wings would have nailed it. Hope ...

Re: Japan RWC

Both wingers were poor. Both made big mistakes and both were shown up defensively. Feel sorry for Rory Best. Tis a tough end for a great player. I thought that Earls was OK and not bad defensively. I still rate him as Ireland's most dangerous back. Sadly, Ireland does not have the centres capable o...

Re: Edinburgh vs Ulster

Awesome [emoji119] But leaves me confused, I’m not sure if we’re pretty rubbish or brilliant! We seem to alternate game about.. Edinburgh were fully loaded, and we absolutely took them apart - impressed that we kept coming up with big plays any time the momentum looked like stalling - chargedowns, ...

Re: Edinburgh vs Ulster

What a finish from Robbie B Brilliant. Electric pace and great step. Left the defence for dead. Crucial that Ulster keep up the pressure and don't let Edinburgh back into this. Herring is having a grand run of games. He could well make the RWC squad on this form. He's looking a better all round hoo...

Re: Glasgow Vs Ulster Fri 5th April @ 7.35pm Premier Sports

The Ulster lineout is shoite. If we can't win our own ball we won't win the match. Glasgow looking well up for this but their tries have been quite soft.
