I think Ulster's last drop goal was Paddy Jackson against Exeter in 2016. Happy to be corrected. No it wasn't. Happy now? :D Yer welcome. :duck: In addition to my unanswered query, drop goal as mentioned by austintranslation would be the correct term used for a successful score only. Would you be r...

Yer welcome.

Successfully scored drop goal..... oh you

I'd agree with Humph, but what I don't agree with is filling our academy with guys that don't have the potential to make it. Out of Boal, Boyd and Doak, it's very clear only Boyd will make it. Doak Jr might make it in his own head / world that he lives in. Not everyones cup of tea but why not academ...

Still a chance of these signings?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Backrow would be a bit of a surprise - I would have thought its an area of strength. Hopefully McNabney pushes on next season, possibly mCClo...

Jarrad Butler and Gavin Thornbury released by Connacht.

Losing I can take, plucky defeats I cannot. That was not a plucky defeat. We out boxed the heavy weight, if that had of been a pound for pound fight we win that. Very much looking forward to see what Ulster side comes out of the traps come September after Murphy has put this squad through a pre seas...

Jimmy Duffy joining the coaching staff, has worked with Murphy in the U20s before. Strange quote from the announcement below, co-forward coaches? “Alongside Roddy, he is set to bring the best out of our forwards, including the younger homegrown guys currently coming through into the Senior set-up. ...

Connacht €7
Ulster €9
Munster €9
Leinster €15

It's a known known Connacht get less funding, Leinster generate the most revenue filling Aviva half a dozen times per year....

Sense new financial realities in place. Players on less money. If IRFU go down the route of funding more ...

One of the other three is Werner Kok.
