With Noel Macnamara coaching and picking the team they will go nowhere. Can’t believe he’s still in the job.

Very surprised that Ulster has almost no representation on the u20s team.
Where are all the young players you are supposed to be producing?
Doesn't bode well for the future of Ulster.
Even Connacht have a few and they don't have a private school conveyor belt.

Kernoghan is injured and he has Ulster caps already.

As said elsewhere, it is a joke of a setup.

He is a WUM King; you should not give him airspace.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Not a WUM.
It speaks volumes if Ulster fans don't care that there isnt a single player from Ulster on the u20s.

Happy to rely on Leinster cast offs forever then?

What private schools are there in Ulster?

Very disappointing with the lack of ulster players in the Ireland team and I could make a few excuses but I won’t.

Noel McNamara to be gone straight after the 6Ns is my guess.

We will rely on irish players being contracted to play for Ulster.

I agree on that KOTH, the selectors can be biased towards players, and a poor coach should not even be in charge.

Speaks volumes of your own knowledge of schools in Ulster or conveyor belts.

Ulster have the same number of private schools, or less, than Connacht

I suspect that what is speaking even louder though is the quality of the coaching set-up of Ireland U-20s

What Ulster players are being overlooked?

Allison - injured
Moore - injured
Kernohen - injured
Houston - injured

Who else? Reid? hasn't played a game of rugby in ages.

Milligan? McKee? Luney? not as good as their counterparts from other provinces.

You have an Ulster academy coach involved in setup, so really stop with the bias crap.
