Re: Petrie departs…..

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 ...

SA sides all have mostly home games left also.

I can see 3 SA sides in the top 8. The Edinburgh and Ospreys losses will come back and bite us.

In the second half sharks has a tight 5 that included Bonambi, Etzebeth, Nche and Kok. Those 4 players played in the World Cup final and took the All Blacks, French and English tight 5s to the cleaners in the 2nd half of each round.

Wilson will solve the problem at 3, Sheridan at 4 or 6.

I think this is turning out to be a development season for Ulster. A lot of young guys gaining a lot of exposure to regular professional rugby.

Only one way we can go from here.

Don’t think there were many stand out Ulster players this year. Lost all their interpro games.

Re: Ulster in SA

Ulster need to be targeting at least one win.

Sharks are 16th in the table for a reason. No doubt we’ll make them look like Richie McCaws All Blacks though.

Re: Ulster's finances

Deraless - valid point. Personally, I wouldn’t be comfortable about parking in either Anderstown or the Shankill for a nighttime or evening match. but a major difference between rugby and GAA and their respective jerseys, is that Ulster rugby don’t have any tournaments or grounds named after Paramil...

Re: Ulster's finances

Exactly. Don't get me wrong though, it's disgusting that they are going to spend as much as they are on it, from the public purse. They should get what Rugby and Football got (adjusted for inflation). Then the GAA have to find the rest. They can when it suits them. To in one breath say there's no m...

He usually plays on the other wing to Stockdale.

It’ll be Baloucoune’s place under most risk.
