Pity for the player himself if that is true. He is a guy with a lot of potential. Being at Ulster in the current climate probably not doing him any favours. Moving him to 15 even for part of games is a hammer blow to his personal development. He doesn't have the vision or the defensive ability to play there.damianmcr wrote:Stockdale at Ravenhill.

Jakob was in the rumoured 23 via the Dublin media etc this morning.
Big news from the rumoured team is that Toner is on the bench. Ryan starts.

Rory and Hendy were in Belfast today too.
Re: Six Nations 17/18
I hope that is true now. I'll leave my point stand about Ulster though. Guys like Stockdale need a better coaching environment at their club.Neill_M wrote:Jakob was in the rumoured 23 via the Dublin media etc this morning.

Yerra players must have had a free day or something. Still it doesn't say much they'd want to spend free time in Belfast. What are they like.Snipe Watson wrote:Rory and Hendy were in Belfast today too.

Well fair play to him. PJ and Olding haven't been found guilty of anything yet.

Yeah the beeb had footage of him going in with some coaches. Fair dues for turning up, would have thought he could have rested up at home today.Wee Woman wrote:Rory was in the public gallery in court today according to Radio Ulster tonight.Shan wrote:Yerra players must have had a free day or something.

Gilroy was there yesterday, makes you wonder what the UR thoughts are on this, suppose it is their own time but some will construe it as support for the players by URjean valjean wrote:Yeah the beeb had footage of him going in with some coaches.

Re: Six Nations 17/18
Joe is reducing the age profile by bringing in James Ryan. A bit tough on Dev Toner who never lets Ireland down but then Ryan is supposed to be the new POC.
It looks a very settled and overall experienced team despite the changes.
