Re: Vermeulen

Late to post but I'm not too sure why everyone is so upbeat about this signing. He's 35, has an injury record and doesn't arrive until the end of November. There's a big risk he'll get injured again in the autumn internationals. Too much of a chance he'll join our growing list of injured signings, g...

Re: Tigers v ULSTER MOTM

I gave it to Mathewson. He changed the outcome of the game more than any other player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though Henderson had a great first half but then faded badly in the second. Not a captain in my view

Re: Ulster in the Challenge Cup

As an afterthought. At halftime Henderson, Stockdale and possibly Cooney had got a seat on the plane to SA. By full time those three and the rest of the Ulster players can book a fortnight in a caravan in Portrush. They've been replaced by Genge, Youngs and Ford. No Ulster representation on the Lion...

Re: Ulster in the Challenge Cup

Well what do you say? The players must be absolutely gutted and it will take a bit of time for them to recover from this. What, they've lost 4 times this season (?) and come away with nothing. The manner they lost that second half will haunt them for a while. Bit like the HC final in Twickenham agai...

Re: Saints v Ulster QF Saturday 8pm KO BT Sport 2

This will be a real test. No Henderson is a big blow and we look a bit light up front without him and Coetezee. Always a bit worried when no changes are made from a previous game. Especially when its only been a 6 day turn around. Would have maybe freshened up the front row. Anyhow game on. If we ke...

Re: PADDY JACKSON

Can anyone tell me is the woman's game blighted by over-officiating? The way this is heading we'll be playing a mixed tag 6 Nations in a couple of years time.

Re: Quins game in the bic biro

I watched Quins last week and didn't give Ulster much of a chance But then Quins change 14 players. Now if we don't win this one questions must be asked. Only danger is that we haven't had a game in a while and are usually crap after a break. With Henderson missing we may be a bit light up front but...

Re: PADDY JACKSON

This is getting out of hand. Watching the red card at the time I actually thought the Cardiff player led with his head. Then the yellow card was an absolute joke. The Cardiff player immediately joined the defensive line and was not injured. They're trying to turn rugby into a on contact sort. Absolu...

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021

Well thankfully that crap is over. Some of the media calling it the best 6Nations ever!? Not for me. There were moments of brilliance but too often teams retreated into safety first rugby and the amount of errors by every team was very high. Most games, teams lost the match rather than teams winning...

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21

Can't argue with that. But I'm not sure I can be bothered about another blood and guts narrow defeat. It would be nice to win a trophy again at some stage.
