What concerns me is that a school with 13 men in the Ulster set-up has been humiliated like that. Sure every team can have an off day, but that's beyond just an off day.

A team with that many representatives should be walking the competition no problem.

Some small consolation to them should be that they're a young team I believe and so should have another couple of bites.

Oh right! Flip I don't know where I got that impression from then, thought they were mostly u18s players.

After my unusual participation in a schools thread, I understand that I was only partly right - rare though that cleary is. I understand that The Master Race tend to turn out a more rounded type of player, than those gowls slightly out of town up near Queens who make lads lives a misery.

Well done Inst, proof of the pudding and all that, a quare lacin' for the poor ould yokels from Outer Scotland biy. :roll:
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

This is Ulster

Perhaps it might be a coaching problem?

What did bug me was the choice to sing a song to the tune of GSTQ by the BA kids. They had wee song sheets so it was pre-planned. Very disappointing.

Why? Do you need a safe space?

Did they sing the national anthem, or a song using the same tune?

What were the words?

Are we afraid of a tune now?

Fair enough Russ, you think it's fine, but I don't. It's not appropriate.
