The UAFC

Stuck at work tonight so I will miss the game.Anyway best of luck.A nice morale boosting win heading into Christmas would be nice for ye.

Good old George always loves to say things he knows he will get a reaction to.I didn't see the show but I would loved to have seen De Brun's face when he spoke about GSTQ.For the record he only said what a good few of us down here said at the time though not the majority.I actually like George despi...

Cables wrote Are you a Connacht supporter living in Limerick? (Connacht wins against Llanelli, Leinster AND Cardiff, even at the Sportsground, look like a supporters dream) At this moment I could call us beating Cardiff at Ravenhill a dream also. I'm not a Connacht supporter(Munster all the way) but...

I have done a quick prediction just on gut feel really and come up with the following. Home Away Prediction Ulster Scarlets Scarlets Ulster Munster Munster Ulster Cardiff Ulster Ulster Dragons Ulster Ulster Glasgow Ulster Ulster Connacht Ulster Munster Ulster Munster Ospreys Ulster Ospreys Leinster ...

This seems to be an act of crazy desperation.Then again I thought the same about bringing Shaun Payne out of retirement but his performances have been outstanding.The big difference is of course that Payne was a very good player anyway.I could not say the same about Easterby regardless of how many c...

What I find hardest is the sanctimoniousness of some Munster fans talking about silence for the kickers as if it was invented in Thomond park and their accompanying implied accusation that none of the rest of us have ever done it. As far as I can tell most if not all the schools and youth teams in ...

A number of years ago I had the "pleasure" of standing beside a group of Munster men on the terrace at Lansdowne Rd during an international game. Humph missed a penalty and was subject to a torrent of sectarian abuse from two of the Munster men, while their friends stood laughing at what ...

I don't think Dewey ever looked that great.If he was any good he would have been playing in England like the other very small number of decent Scottish players.Luke McAllister would be better off cracking jokes as he is very over-rated and has delivered very little at top class Super or Internationa...

And not an Ulsterman to give the blame to!! :D To be fair if EOS was to pick a team right now on form(ha ha ha) you could not expect a lot of Ulster representation.Rory Best is still an obvious contender given his performances for Ireland and the fact that for all Jackman's form recently it's still...

Having gone to a rugby school in Limerick City I can say that this silence for kickers is instilled at a young age thus becoming the norm.This silence also may give an advantage to the home team as it could be difficult to kick in the midst of a deathly silence(not sure about this though as I have n...

looking foward to some good chanting at Easter !! And from what i've heard Cork people are much more civilised/fun than Limerick people. I also love the chanting at matches and banter between fans/fans and fans/players.I was only joking about the Cork people.I have spent a lot of time in Cork throu...

I was wondering if anybody thinks International Rugby is going or will go the same route as International Soccer.There is a sense that this is starting to happen especially considering the huge numbers of Southern Hemisphere players arriving in Europe.In Soccer it's all about the Champions League.I ...

You'd almost feel sorry for Scotland having to call up the likes of Dewey who's an average, at best, club or provincial player but then you remember that Ireland are no better than Scotland.

I'm not sure how much verbal abuse he had to put up with as I was not at the game.However I would like to say there are idiots everywhere one goes and they are generally the most vociferous.The majority of these "fans" probably didn't even know Jackman's name and were just following what s...

Eddie will stick with basically the same squad right through to the end of his contract, or till we win the 6 nations, end of contract most likely, and to be honest I can't see him getting sacked :( I agree.As I have said before he would prefer to lose by small margins than to have the ambition and...
