Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

It's just a short flight stopover on the way to Waikato. Or at least that's what he'll have told the people in NZ

Re: Ulster V Stormers Friday 27th 7.35pm
Coetzee was the best NIQ back row we've had; arguably the best in the pro era. We got 4 seasons out of 5 albeit two injured not of his doing. He made no secret he was going back to bulls for a crack at SA.Dave wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:38 pmApart from that year on his contract, that he had no intention of honouring because covid made him homesick.

Haha too true Bart.Bart S wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:14 pmFFS StandUp - you are clearly not a true Ulsterman if you have "moved on."
We still haven't forgiven Delon Armitage, yer man Brew or even that Irish guy who used to play for Toulouse , so iwe'll all be long dead before Jono is up for forgiveness from the good and the great of the UAFC.
I certainly revelled in his failure at Ckermont.

Gibbes in the land where they supposedly value honour.
How ironic

Wait till big Dave gets his tractor going. He will get us over the line much more than Marcell the mercenary did.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:15 pmMarcel owes us nothing Mervyn.

Re: Ulster V Stormers Friday 27th 7.35pm
I hope so. But Pro rugby players play for money. We pay for their services. Clues in the title. At this level it's just bidness. Corinthian is for the amateur game and long may it run.StandUp wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:47 pmWait till big Dave gets his tractor going.

Coetzee had 2 career threatening injuries. With a short, curtailed career, he's entitled to earn a living for him and his family. Afoa and Piutau are real mercenaries. Of course JM and RP combined both.

Re: Ulster V Stormers Friday 27th 7.35pm
Big Dave has had 4 career threatening injuries which is a concern, but he’s gonna be a machine for Ulster and I would bet he will honour every moment at Ulster.

We played our part in making Piutau a mercenary paying him £500k and making him the highest paid player in the Pro 12 before he went off and became the highest paid player in the Gallagher

Fingers crossed not. A fit and firing Dave Ewers will very quickly become a fan favourite at Ravers and beyond.
The man is awesome at what he does.

To be honest had a team and then The IRFU Kicked the Key players in that team in the - - - - s. So it is a case of who were the the most dishonourable Jono --Ulster Rugby ( Logan ) or the IRFU .
The only innocent people in the equation were the two victims .
