If it's really inclement and windy they might meet Memorial end dwellers going in the opposite direction.
Low and behold the family stand is almost empty, several sections shown full in Memorial also empty and more empty seats in grandstand as well showing, 15k my Brennan, East terrace sold out though suddenly
I was denied access when I inquired about this.
Classic URSC
Wise up Russ - it was sod all to do with URSC.
URSC passed on some information supplied by UR.
Wherever the fault was it was either with UR for not telling Eventsec, or it was with Eventsec for not doing as instructed by UR. URSC had nothing to do with the arrangements.
But then, when did you ever let facts get in the way of your agenda?
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

I think that unless you watch a lot of Super Rugby many of the names would have been unfamiliar but the were some really serious operators playing.
Here, I've always liked Robbie Deans, wonder would he like to coach the Ulster backs given we have the 2nd greatest backline in Europe?
baggy… Deans only came 11th on the world top coaches analysis report commissioned by UR in 2013 and by the second report in 2014 he had dropped to 15th.. not sure if they have commissioned another..

Pinch of salt
I had 2 options
Classic URSC
Classic URPR
I started typing UR and it autofilled in the rest
Job done I say
It was the URSC that made the claim on here. We do not have enough information to exonerate their role in this issue.
Was the offer open to all fans in attendence at the game because I didn't here or see any announcement on the evening...
Some of the Fijians I was with wanted to know why the national anthem of the host country wasn't played. .They also wondered why the Fijian team was.not given a response from UR to their request to wear poppies... I told them this is Ulster and there was a likely fear that one person may have been offended. ..

When you try to offend nobody you end up offending everybody

Would seem a bit incongruous playing the anthem of the "host country" when the host country wasn't actually playing. Is that what normally happens at Barbarians games.
Who was the host "country" anyway? Presumably Ireland.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

My hubby says that the country that the match is"played in" should have their national anthem played first, But I am more concerned that a "song, was put a ahead of a National Anthem and a bit disrespectful to Fiji. Who run the event, was it Ulster or IRB?
I got soaked to the skin and left at halftime and went for a meal.

To my knowledge the stadium owners bid for the games
