Really hope that Carbery or indeed Byrne do not come here. Always better to have players who want to come, irrespective of their origins. Cooney came to us via Connacht and I admire him so much for it. Wants to be better and wants to play for us.

Will be there........ 'mon the Ban

Taking players from Connacht is different. Their mandate is to be a feeder or developmental province. Henshaw is actually from a village on the Leinster side of Athlone so he was really one of ours anyway. Connacht are getting Copeland from Munster for next season so they are doing ok. Don't think ...

I would say that the length of the deal concerns me. Particularly the fact that he would have been out in the market place and he surely would have been looking for longer than that ! At his age he would have wanted more security and this is what he ends up with. Its a better deal for Ulster Rugby t...

I will miss Gibbs sporadic bursts of forthrightness.

Loved that too when I read it............. chuckled at the honesty

I have no problem with this signing. A good player and I am sure that they are scouring the planet far away from Lisburn for IQ players. He will be a good addition.

What does tick me off is watching Sam Arnold tearing it up against Toulon and Chris Farrell watching on. They should both still be here.

It can be argued that it's a mistake by Olding to make an apology. That it's a sign of weakness. It will also give ammunition to your enemies who can then say it's not enough. And allow a weasely employer to commend you for your graciousness and wish you all the best as they walk you to the door. I...

Gotta stick with the young wans. It is what it is meant to be all about.

Mind you, it is the best chance of a trophy this year..... isn't it?

The English should stop the relegation system, it is an absolute waste of time for them. All the clubs start off playing not to get relegated rather than win. It leads to a Tom Kite product to watch. Bosh and slow rugby, waste of time. They are more scared of losing than going out and trying to win ...

Strange one that. Kidney has never coached a jot in his life. Been a schoolteacher for the last 5 or six years, not getting a mention in any jobs over here (and there have been vacancies). Don't see him adding to any modern professional set up. Les..... really, I know that you wanted to get out of t...

Agreed Hammer. We got LK and Leinster were given Graham Henry and Stuart Lancaster. There is plenty of blame for the FIRFU in all this. Think that said coaches would have a say in where they went as well. If you were Lancaster and was offered Leinster with the riches they have coming through and us...

If I remember right Sexton wouldn’t take the job unless he was allowed to bring on his own staff,people he trusts. Look at how football managers work,they bring their own staff 99% of the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Doesn't fit well with the IRFU dumb ass affirmative action policy of i...

Going make what i think will be a massively unpopular suggestion............... This devolution thing obviously aint working, when you have muppets and amateurs not able to come up with the right answers on the hill (Ravenhill), it should be a professional outfit and not as an amateur side show. Di...

Saw that..... that could be interesting to watch. Thought he was not fit. Be a cracking player for them if he is.
