The UAFC

Shocking - this sort of game is a waste of time and resource by Ulster. None of those kids will be anywhere near pro rugby. That year group one of the weakest yet. Defiantly. The next two batch u20s from Ulster are probably the weakest in a decade, if not longer. I would go as far as to include cur...

Absolute joke, few people need to take a look at themselves.

Bryn Cunningham…

Strangely when one reads another thread on this site dating back to 2009 and candidates for the role of CEO the same Hugh McCaughey is being identified and spoken about as being interviewed then. If so it has been a long journey.. he ticks more boxes than many might think but the job is the job of ...

Scotland weak as p#ss. For Ireland, will come down to England power game then, as usual. FR will be a concern. Need to keep penalties down and keep the ball alive, without getting into a war of attrition. Meant to be a good English side with a particularly strong front row. Be interesting to see ho...

I think you’re concentrating on Leinsters development too much. His experience within the Leinster development structures will hopefully lead to changes within the ulster development pathways. Ulster is a province with over 2.3million people, whilst some argue a good percentages don’t relate to the...

Think this year is a fairly open year, but hard to disagree with your rank there. It really is much of a muchness between all teams. SUS probably the weakest IMO though beating MCB in Pirrie was a very good result for them Cunningham is the one name being thrown about the most from anything I’ve he...

Anyone seen much schools rugby this year? Quarter finals were last weekend and the semis are next Tuesday and Wednesday, unsure who the favourites are, or if there are any players to watch? I would say WHS, but they have been favourites many times before and chocked when it matters. Ballymena proba...

Is it time to start up a ‘has McFarland been sacked today?’ thread? Yesterday was also a very bad day for Soper, our attack started off poorly this year and has just got worse and worse, and I can’t remember the last time an ulster back line looked so toothless. I have a bit of a bad feeling that t...

Sounds like Addison possibly going back to Sale

Today's Ireland squad announcement is absolutely mortifying for McFarland and Petrie. I genuinely hope they walked around red-faced all day. Imagine ballsing things up so badly that you cannot get a single one of your players into an Ireland 23. I would say the depth of the problem will be fully ex...

Perhaps the irfu could help out someone other than Munster for a change. No reason the under 20s six nations couldn't move north now for a couple of years, should help with the Bank Balance I don’t think these games would be much of a money spinner - avg attendances in or around 4K. Musgrave Park w...

>bud Completely outclassed at every level. Timoney, the Leinster man, the only bright spot. Apparently we have talent coming through… the whole system is wrecked. We have had the policy of trying to turn athletes into rugby players, that horse is flogged to death. This all starts at schools/youth l...
