Any word on the Academy?

[Dave]

Maybe Marcus is the new Greg Jones. Good with the kids and possibly has designs on a career in childcare, post rugby?

[Jetstream]

Is Eamonn Rogers ex Bristol Bears?

Gillespie only recently brought back in? Didn’t play u19s and was playing junior rugby for ballyclare and Ulster juniors

Yeah played U18 schools but didn’t make U19s last summer. As you say involved in successful Ballyclare RFC season and promotion to AIL and featured in Ulster Junior interpros over last few weeks so seems to be getting further opportunity here.

Marcus Rea won't be involved with the senior team against Leinster then

Aaron Sexton will be playing with the development squad well into his 30s at this rate.

What a momumental mismatch and waste of time for both sides.

Would have been better off playing the Ulster Juniors against this lot.

Or CIYMS……

He's the new Chris Cochrane

[justinr73]

Anyone else at this?

Just got home.

It was about 100 - 10 after the Septics scored with the last play.

Ulster decided to play with 14 for half the game.

[CIMANFOREVER]

Or CIYMS……

Ha . So that was a waste of time then? Would they have been better being beasted on the scrummage machine and sand dunes then?

[Bayern]

Any chance of Flynn Longstaff or Tom McAllister joining the academy?
