Sometimes it makes sense to just try to ignore well known kn0bheads.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

What I wrote and what you disagreed with was:
I'd have said that Connaught is to Connacht as Ireland is to Eire and you're not supposed to call
Ireland, Eire if you're writing in English or you'll always getting someone complaining about it.
My point had nothing to do with an official renaming of the province post 1922 or anything like that, that map is from 1720.

I take your point that about Connacht Rugby even though linguistically it's like a mixture of two languages and is neither good english nor good irish.
Yes, that's me in the avatar!

Do you think we have the team to beat them though? I'm looking at their backline in particular.
I think that Connacht, for all the fancy play they are capable of, have a soft centre which should be exposed by any reasonable home team. Of course if Ulster gift them chances they have the ammo to run in a few tries which would make things difficult. However if I was an Ulsterman I would not be happy with a defeat at home to this team. Though that is not to say I wouldn't have my own concerns about the strength of my own team.

I think I may have covered the lot there Dave. :D
I agree. Not winning at home to Connacht would be a fairly poor result. We have some quality back in the side. Hopefully it's enough.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Are there any Dunnagall players in the Ulster team tonight?
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

No. They got lost using that map.

I would say it would be a very poor result and on the back of last week would Do some serious damage to confidence. This is not a kids team we are sending out and there aren’t too many top players to come in and sort it out.

Anyway, confident we’ll win and that it will be our Biggest home winning margin so far this season :D :red: :fleg:
