Les will have spent his Christmas back in Royston Vasey, in the local shop, for local people.

Our pack will need way more than a 10% improvement against the Munters. They need to hit harder, win all their collisions, ruck like honey badgers on heat and destroy their pack in the first thirty minutes. The intensity level needs dialled up to eleven and the knob ripped off.
Nothing less than facial scaring, missing teeth and broken fingers will be acceptable. They need to make it more lethal than a game of Shinty. In fact they should make Shinty look like Lawn Chess. They need to make Munters players cry for their mommas.

What we’ll likely get is about 15 minutes of huff and puff, followed by more Powder Puff P1SS taking and another schooling from an inter-pro team.
Can’t wait.

Two words tender... The Hond. He will rip them apart and send them back to Limerick to think again. This guy will be an Ulster legend.

I see you’re still washing down your Tramadol with Jameson’s Cocker. I guess you can get away with it during the hols, but try and ease up a bit before getting back to the grind.

I think Llanelli scored a 60m one against us in the last days of McCall?

How anyone can expect intensity from a pack that boasts the likes of Herbst, Diack and SVDM I don't know. Pussys

Not conceded by Ulster. They did concede a 55 metre maul try at Stradey in 2006, for three minutes I was shouting bring it down for Scaaaaalets were playing into a howling gale such as not even the Sportsground in Galway has seen.

Anyway they either didn’t hear or choose to ignore my advice and to rising bleating from the Sheepworriers they marched over and collapsed in triumph.

Hugh Millie Ation.

Still the following weekend Dr. Humphreys skilful use of the Swansea woodwork secured Ulster’s last trophy....... probably ever.

Deluded, he thinks our defence in general is very good >crazy1
Questioned about the side’s continuing profligacy in ceding tries, the former Ireland defence coach was clearly more than just disappointed.

“Teams occasionally do open us up, as Connacht did, those first-up ‘hits’ don’t get made, but I do believe our defence is usually very good.”
“That made me feel very special and underlined to me that Ulster is more than a team, it is a community and a rugby family"

Yup:

Have shipped on average 25 points (rounded) /game in the Pro 14. At home it is 20 points (rounded), away 31 points (rounded).

Only the Dragons and the Southern Kings have shipped more in the Conference. If you factor in the other conference, have 8th best record from the 14 sides (Dragons, Kings, Cheetahs, Ospreys, Cardiff, Zebre) beneath Ulster.

Then you have the 41 conceded in La Rochelle and the 24 shipped at home to Quins 3rd XV. Have restricted Wasps and Quins to less than 10 points also to be fair.

A more accurate statement is that very occasionally Ulster's defence is good. His comments sound like something Donald Trump would come out with.

Our defence has been exposed as being passive and easy to unpick. It was fairly effective when we were playing a very structured game plan, but this season it has been a disorganised shambles.

I said it when Kiss was playing divide and rule with Doak/Clarke and the players from day one. This man is a con - he read the wrong management book and had NO substance to back up the cynical tactics. I had hoped he’d at least be a decent coach but he has been shocking. He has ruined the team/Club/culture. It’s a disgrace that he’s still there. Jackson/Olding not his fault but the fact we are losing Hendo too is his fault ...... why would he stay ?

1) He has had some serious injuries, go to France and as Janny the Loop has told everyone in the Irish setup, you'll be flogged.
2) Medical care in French is a shambles as anyone who has played there will confirm
3) Add on all the bonuses for Irish appearances, win bonus, tournament bonus & you aren't far short of the largest salaries paid to forwards in France.
4) Playing under FIRFU contract will almost certainly give him a longer career with similar money

Other than wanting to win something, plenty of reasons not to go.
