Re: Team for Dragoons
Now I'm not quite as pessimistic as some here . In my opinion Ulster may note may have the beginnings of a decent back row in one -two years There is also a possible second row again in one to two years and the backline is still young . The problem with the second row may be that it may be light wei...

Re: Liverpool FC
Unfortunately while the tactics in both games may be same the means of achieving and implementing them are totally different in 15- a-side although. he, Klopp might make a good coach at 7s.

Re: Team for Dragoons
For me this looks to much like a Dan selection to be honest Hume as Capt his showing last time out was a failure the decision making ,was questionable, at best. There is also a problem identifying who is the pack leader . When Ireland had an out side centre as Captain ( BoD) ,PoC was the pack leader...

Re: 2024 U20's
Ward was a ball carrier at Inst but sometimes outran his support at school level that is not the worst crime in the book but in the professional game its a potential penalty every time. If you become unaware of your support a tackler in front of you there is normally lots of space behind him--- kick...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.
I admire Dan if it is true he bit the bullet before being fired — it is only about 2 bad results away from the boo boys and abuse during the game and that’s the last thing the players need . To some extent he suffered from staying to long and a failure in player development and backing some players ...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm
Stockdale didn't have a stinker the fact was ever attempt to get the ball to him was either in front of him or behind him .Now is that his fault . The backline became predictable and was frequently lining up to flat with centres running diagonal lines and not straight.taking the defence across the f...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm
Basically a case of underestimating your enemy --a game lost which should have been won before 1/2 time -- the scrum mangled badly on the opposition put in .Silly mistakes caused by over running causing forward passes the right idea -- terrible terrible execution -- and to duplicate it for the inter...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm
Al that seems a logical conclusion except release of players from the International squad is usually conditional ie the interests of the national squad take priority and the exposure to injury must be minimised. If Henderson didn't feature in Farrells thinking I would agree with you but Henderson is...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm
Not that weird Hendie would be fourth choice and the oldest of the second rows but I would expect only an appearance during the second half to be honest except for the fact that both AoC and Treadwell are unavailable. so one of the Reas could be featuring in the second row In addition to those membe...

Re: Contract Situation
Ewers would be a natural given the number of potential back row players -- may have been signed to allow some to fill out and get seasoned to both the training and speed necessary for the PRO game. Like wise Jones,those with potential already look better bets than Jones and the Reas may also have on...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
AT last England have a Captain who looks as stupid as the ref ( cheap shot) The English game was so like the "Eton Wall" game as both sides edged across the pitch with one yard carries due to the (SA) rush defence. Which has its roots in the fact that ref generally referees from the centre...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Stu is an out-and-out inside centre ,the only suitable player for the third seat on the bench for the backs is a utility player who can move across the back line . While players can fill in at scrum half and out half the options become fewer when in possession and the attack becomes predictable . I ...
