The UAFC

Stormers are the ultimate confidence team. Expect them to click but a good side will make them earn it.

We are playing on the edge and should be further ahead. Stormers haven't fired a shot yet so we need to keep the lead. Cooney's miss was poor.

Not straight was the call first.

Decent enough results for us league wise. I can see the top 4 pulling away with places 5-10 very competitive. Benetton at home will be a massive game. Not often ulster would go into a home game against Italian opposition as underdogs.

I'd like to see doak challenge the defensive line a bit. This is the hardest part for a ten but is the best way to create line breaks. He is used to not taking ball to contact and will have to risk getting hit late. Will his temperament allow this? The jury is out on my book, but I sincerely hope he...

Leinster getting smashed in the 1st few scrums but recovered to lead 7-6.

I'm looking forward to a 10 that can kick long as opposed to across the pitch. Sometimes, you just need to move the team down the pitch to relieve pressure and box kicks are not the way unless playing into a gale.

We need to move on from PJ and Stu.

See a job advert for a conditioning coach. Perhaps this explains the Shape some players are in. Who is doing this at present?

I think tector is the most likely to seek a move from leinster. Both byrnes are getting into ireland squads where they are and prendergast is the heir apparent who will be given the opportunity to oust both in the next 2 years. Tector will have limited opportunities bar a few sub appearances in low ...

How long was reffell on the pitch to hurt himself?

TOT confirming he is looking to play both sides of scrum. If we can get Wilson up to speed before marty quits then it may not be a bad idea. After Saturday he may not want to come up against a SA front row at tight head for a while. https://www.the42.ie/ulsters-tom-otoole-reveals-plans-to-adapt-to-n...

Do we still have any ourds signs to lend them?

I know it is hot but this game is at sea level and we seem to be running through treacle. We can't expect any improvement in a weeks worth of training but the players are still making stupid mistakes which are not down to poor coaching.
