The UAFC

Yea buses are an option but given drink will be onboard there is a bit of a concern there lol, that being said we arent exactly buck eijiits! I've done the last train out before and it has as you mention always been an absolute dash to get. After the french match they are giving 2hrs before the trai...

Gents, just looking for a bit of advice or ideas. A few of us (4) are heading down to Dublin for the Ireland vs England game. Tickets, hospitality, the works - very excited! Looking for any ideas on travel options. Obviously there are the rugby trains, they have released the tickets for the French m...

Taking a mark is usually a bad move. You usually take it in the corner so you have no angle to kick for touch and you're unlikely to get any distance (especially if you're Rob Lyttle), and you don't get the lineout so you're just giving the opposition possession in a decent attacking position. It's...

It was a fairly bitter one to swallow alright; so close and was looking forward to it this year especially with the prospect of the knock-out inter-pros, which would have been incredibly tasty. The fact that there was (in my opinion) a really bad decision so close to the death where we should have ...

Haven’t really given a flying feck about Ireland in a long time, but reading the team news today I’m even more glad of that sentiment. You can dress it up all you want but there is a parochial nature to selections. I can vaguely remember the all conquering Ulster team in the mid 80’s to early 90’s a...

Lol….oops. Told you it was a long day

Sorry I am sure if I researched a bit more I could get the answer, but it’s been a long day lol!! What’s the craic with entrance to the stadium and vaccinations etc…

Is proof of vaccination required and if not available is a negative lateral flow adequate??

Cheers one and all…

COVID is COVID people catch it, spread it etc - I get that. However, we do know that a lot of the reason for above is down to personal actions. We have all had to make sacrifices, risk assess our businesses, alter our life etc…. Tbh I expect more from an organisation such as UR when clearly they hav...

Good point. Knowing UR no protocols were broken….

No harm but that’s pretty shambolic. Professional players with the opportunity to get fans in the stadium and clearly a breach of protocols result in the game being cancelled. Given it’s UR I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s still a bit of a shock given all we have learnt over the past 15 months. Foo...

PS I am saying this with a wry smile and appreciate the support that Kingspan have offered UR. I know they weren’t the sponsors that I now despise who demanded beheadings. My frustration is directed at the IRFU, whom are likely to take very different approach when it’s money versus a couple of young...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/grenfell-tower-fire-inquiry-insulation-firm-kingspan-b1768224.html I wonder whether the IRFU will perceive text messages from said key sponsor to affect their decision making or is the lure of € too strong. Maybe I should make up some tom kite banners ...

ScottishBrain may have been a doubter, the debts are real. Browne has to take some responsibility as he succumbed to pressure from Miss Vodafone and Miss BOI. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/54211942?fbclid=IwAR13p9nulRM6dAzL7MR88ievHrWqfv2RmMZ9tyzLGSO1Ju40JRj4J7rkEwk Yea gotta love that ar...

I don’t know what to think of Will Addison, does some things really well and some things are shocking. I would have Ludik on pronto to steady things in the back 3. Our starting back 3 couldn’t defend if they tried.

Haha well maybe not...I’ll delay that for another 40 mins but it is nearly as painful!
