Re: Ulster v Lions

Ballymena academy when Warwick, Rea brothers, Luke Marshall and John Andrew have 5. Good chance at least 4 of those guys started a game. I believe that Stewart Moore also spent two years at BA, having moved there for his 6th form studies. So an impressive 6 from Ballymena Acad. I doubt if they have...

Re: Benetton v Ulster Saturday January 7 1pm KO (UK Time) Viaplay (Premier) Sports 1 / URC TV / Super Sport

I've been living in France for 11 years, a couple of hours from La Rochelle. Having not had the chance to see Ulster play since moving here, I was delighted to get some tickets for Saturday. Having coached several of the players in a former life as a school teacher, I'm still delighted to go and che...

Re: Next season's Heineken Cup

Hi, I'm wondering how I could get a couple of tickets for the away match to Stade Rochelais in January. It's next to impossible to get them here in France so I'm wondering how to get them through Ulster Rugby. Any suggestions? If anyone can get me a couple, I can offer accommodation in and transport...

Re: Toulouse v Ulster H Cup Round of 16 1st Leg Saturday April 9th 3:15pm KO (UK Time) BT Sport 3/beIN SPORTS/ France 2

On the Stade Toulousain fans' forum they are "pas contents" with Monsieur Barnes. The basic line is that an English ref shouldn't be reffing a British team. "Demandons déjà qu’un club ANGLAIS (Ulster en l’occurrence aux couleurs impériales rouge et blanc , pas une virgule verte) ne pu...

Re: Edinburgh vs ULSTER MOTM

With all his carries, tackles and some big turnovers, MC gets my nod.

Re: What are we feeding them?

Ref farming folks ... Ulster rugby like it or not is a Belfast area Rugby team Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the school with the most former players in the Ulster set-up is Ballymena Academy, exploding the idea that it is a Belfast area team. Of course, being from Ballymena Academy doe...

Re: Mexico Vs Ulster KO 5.45pm BT Sport 3

Totally gutted for the team after that huge effort. Who would have thought us capable of that at the start of the season? Can't imagine what Stockdale is feeling, the poor guy. He'll not make that mistake again.

Re: Wanted: 1 ticket for Scotland v Ireland 6N

I'm in the same boat. A family visit to Edinburgh falls at the same time as the 6 Nations. If you've any unwanted tickets, I'd be happy to relieve you of them.
