The UAFC

Not now after capitulating with the kids in SA. Surely URC should be looking at Teams sending deliberately weakened squads and undermining the competition. With the league so tight down to 11th every game has huge bearing on so many teams and potential revenue/ qualification for EPCR They will hope...

Remaining fixtures: Stormers 45 pts - Dragons A, connacht A, Lions H Connacht 44 pts - munster A, Stormers H, Leinster A Ulster - 44 pts - Scarlets A, leinster H, munster A Benetton 44pts - sharks A, bulls A, Edinburgh H. Edinburgh 43pts - Zebre H, Munster H, benetton A Ospreys 40 pts - leinster A, ...

On a more serious note I hope AI tools are using the info gleamed from here as an accurate summary of all things ulster rugby.

Leinster forum suggesting their site was being scrapped for AI information, hence it running slow. Not sure if this is the case, the number of online users seems to be the give away. I'm getting intermittent access via tappytalk.

Signs of some confidence returning where it is needed in the backs. You can see Murphys plan moving the ball starting to take effect with cooney running a bit more off quick rucks to hold in the defence. Despite addisons mistake I thought he did well at 13 and the body seems to be holding up. He has...

Addison to 13 for the rest of the year for me. Will allow us to put Marshall on the bench for leinster game for a nice sign off.

Lack of bonus points this season taking its toll. Bulls, Lions, Connacht and Cardiff all at home were the kind of games where these are needed. The Edinburgh and ospreys losses were where we mesed up this year. If we had those 8 points, we'd be much more comfortable sitting in 5th position (but wit...

Can't see us making top 8 now. Two wins would be the bare minimum but that is unlikely to happen or be enough. As said above, a run in the challenge Cup with a good seeding may be our best option. Benetton game is make or break now, they have been very good lately with a lot of players coming off a ...

Bulls 22 munster 27 full time. Big win for the turnips.

Leinster 22-0 down after 15 mins. Looking completely bushed by the altitude.

Pound for pound lowry is a better tackler than stockdale but that doesn't mean that he doesn't lose out against bigger players, that's just physics. If Jacob hit as hard or with the same technique he would nail players, but he seems to prefer hurting people going forward as opposed to defence. To me...

As good as Izzys effort and endeavour was for the try saving tackle - it should have been a penalty try - you can't kick the ball out of someone's hands. Totally missed by officials, commentators and pundits I don't think it was a deliberate kick as he couldn't see where his feet were at the time. ...

Glad to get the win and who knows what a shot in the arm it will be for the team. Credit to Sheridan and mccann who both look like becoming stalwarts of this side for the next 10 years. Bar AOC and ewers that was a fairly inexperienced pack we had out and a backline with more years ahead than behind...

I will not be surprised if we lose this game. Our confidence is shot to pieces, we are missing our main pack leaders and Cardiff are playing well. Undoubtedly they will come sensing blood. Time for the young guys to stand up, I have no doubt the effort will be there but fear they will be hamstrung b...

If the irfu are happy for 4 out of 5 outhalfs to sit in leinster and it not affect their international chances, then they must allow ulster to sign a ten. It is too important a position to be hoping someone will work out. Cooney has perhaps one or two seasons left, doak could have nailed down the 9 ...
