The UAFC

Shocking - this sort of game is a waste of time and resource by Ulster. None of those kids will be anywhere near pro rugby. That year group one of the weakest yet. Defiantly. The next two batch u20s from Ulster are probably the weakest in a decade, if not longer. I would go as far as to include cur...

Look at Leinster Model… bang for buck that it would appear we are not able/willing to commit. GAA ramping up to hold on, that is a pipe dream. What we may get from GAA is the front row not suited to the game, these guys will have a good skill set and could be worth pursuing. Much of it is privately...

An excellent appointment.. To call him merely a civil servant is disingenuous and ill informed. A steady hand who understands Ulster rugby from grassroots level up is exactly what is required.

A cracking match that could've either way. RBAIs experience in winning at ravenhill was a factor. BA were excellent but their pack ran out of steam and LO was ropey. The BA 8 was superb, and while Adam Boyd got MOTM, the Inst 7 wasn't far behond The BA 8 is only 5th year apparently! So is the RBAI ...

Oh and UR have seemingly pulled the plan for expansion of the soon to be renamed Kingspan part of the rationale for property development into the neighbouring area. That comes with an assurance from the IRFU that should we ever reach the dizzy heights of a QF we can switch to big brother on the And...

If Ulster is to gain any success in the future it needs to appeal to the majority of the population.

I'd be happy to attend a match over in Andytown, and would happily take my kids.

Stats aside, one could argue that Kok is the living embodiment of our new ‘three pillars’ of energy, enjoyment and competitiveness. He never stops, has had a bit of craic with East Terrace and knew he’d have to be the fittest bloke in the squad to make up for being a short Brennan. Would you want y...

The problem is exacerbated by the utter shambles that should transition young players into the sphere of the academy from clubs and less traditional as well as the traditionally strong rugby schools. Parochialism and amateurism is rampant. Promising players are turned off by being ignored, often fo...
