The UAFC

Well, what a result for Ulster!

Tactically, we had it exactly right against Montpellier. We bombarded them with the high ball and put serious pressure on them with defence, forcing them to make hasty and panicky decisions.

A great day in which we bossed the French with a wily edge.

Thanks Rooster!

Kofi, I can tell you now that Donaghadee would have no problem in stepping up to AIL rugby; it seems that a few of their players are aggrieved that the club doesn't want to/can't afford to move up to AIL level. They'll do well at senior level.

Tommy from Comber will be apoplectic.

Great wit as always, sir!

It wouldn't only be an uncomfortable experience for opposition fans, but also for the home fans and the players. Not to also mention the...
