Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

After that marathon straight into 4 consecutive URC games with no certainty of a home semi if Leinster are to avoid another barren season.

Wonder if treating the domestic league with contempt will come back to bite them again?

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

Thanks, Neill. I've just seen that it's the top eight, regardless of nationality so... If we don't get anything against Munster: Embra will go above us if they win; Benetton will go above us if they win with a bp and Lions will go above us if they win with a bp. If we get a bp against Munster, we q...

Re: Help us

Surely if the stormers beat the lions then we are safe for 7th? Only one of benneton amd Edinburgh can pass us. But by the book, you need 6th for guaranteed Champions Cup rugby. I know the chances of 8th seed winning in Limerick, then Glasgow and then Pretoria are slim. Stormers could still theoret...

That was one of Billy’s biggest weaknesses.
Why do Jacob and Stu not line up for clearance kicks … a la Lowe?
Stockdale has a massive boot on him. Seen him do a 50:22 from inside his own 22

Pretty much the only analysis we do is who’s IQ but that’s the problem with trying to recruit with one arm tied behind your back.
That's how we ended up with Billy.
Who spent much of his time here playing with one leg tied behind his back

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

First time in my life that I’ve not lived in a Tory safe seat. Still don’t think I’ll bother…. Come on Justin. You have to vote to keep somebody out. It's the Ulster Way. Not too many who can say they DO live in a Tory safe seat at the moment. Jeremy *unt is supposedly in danger. Definitely worth s...

If Sharks win the PP and the 8th placed team win the Grand Final then it's 6th for Euro Championship qualification?

Re: Ulster v Leinster Saturday May 18 7:35pm TG4 / Premier Sports (UK) 1 / Premier Sports (Ireland) 1 / Super Sport / UR

Can you hear the band on the tele Dave? I didn’t notice it last night, largely because I had to endure a running commentary from a lad ‘explaining’ what was going on to his mates. Fair play to him bringing some potential new fans in but it was a bit irritating. He quietened down a bit after I expos...
