Re: Squad (34) v Clermont

Breakdown:
First 2 seasons 2 then 4 = 6
15 seasons pool games x 6 = 90
Beyond Pool 1998/99 +3
Beyond Pool 2010/11 +1
Which Ulster players have played most of those 99 games?

Re: Squad (34) v Clermont

Tis true.
Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Toulouse are the only sides to have competed in every HC competition.

Another interesting factoid - the top seeded QF-ist has never won the competition.

Re: How embarrassing are the bellylaugh tee shirts

The actual collective noun is an array of cheerleaders. As for the embarrassment factor. The T-shirts pale into insignificance beside that lot. Must have been mortifying for the suits entertaining the great and the good on Friday only to be confronted with that ... TWICE! :lol: btw anybody remember ...

Re: Trevor Brennan on Sky TV tonight

And exactly why would you want them to float like balsa, Snipe? Not a good thing, medically speaking, suggests you're not absorbing some foods properly. Baggy's deep divers are the ones you want. I beg to differ. Depth charges can indicate too much protein in the diet - not good for a healthy colon...

Re: Trevor Brennan on Sky TV tonight

Lucky to be on the Prom and witness Castrogiovanni gaving a masterclass on how to deal with a bit of banter on Friday night. Tell me more please! Crowd behind the dugout was giving him serious stick throughout the match including when he was subbed. Disarmed them with a wave and a wink as he came o...

A pure class act, 'specially when compared to a corner boy like Brennan. Surprised anybody gives him the time of day.

Re: Shirts for Saturday in Clermont

Can see why teams where "away shirts" for contractual reasons but for the life of me I can't see why fans do it. Better to wear white regardless imo. You clearly don't enjoy kebabs. :wink: I do as it 'appens. Don't usually get them on me shirt though. My "technique " does play h...

Re: Now This Really is a Disgrace

The city of Leicester has a massive ethnic population (close to 50% I believe), mostly from countries with no tradition of rugby so it is hardly surprising that Tigers draw a lot of support from the rural hinterland.
