Re: Ulster v Glasgow Fri Sept 24th 7:35pm KO Prem Sports

It is important that this season Ulster not only win games butthat they overcome the tendency to relax when they score 4 tries and a bonus point. This is going to be a difficult competition to navigate and points difference could be a deciding Factor. They must not only win but win convincingly and ...

Re: Vermeulen

Afoa put his body on the line for the team when he was here but his plea to get closer to home real was a bit much when he went to Gloucester. Piutua could turn on the star quality during his first season but in my opinion and that of many others he did not show any real commitment during his second...

Re: Vermeulen

Yea the guy is 35 and keeping Marvell out of the Boks so he must be a poor signing. What a load of rubbish. Yes Addison has a history of injuries but still can light up a game. As for Jared we have more than had our moneys worth out of him as a player and in his role as a coach. He didn’t come to Ul...

Re: Saracens v Ulster Thursday 5pm Saracens Website

Not surprised by Doak’s omission I thought that Shanahan was the more effective scrum half on the night. I think Doak has potential but not the finished article as yet. Wee Dave seemed to be more lively and got the ball out quicker. I am far from being Shanahan’s no.1 fan but give the guy credit he ...

Re: Ulster vs Saracens

Couldn’t disagree more re pessimism over incoming season. I don’t think there were many good buys on the market for Ulster unless we were going to pay silly money. I am not in favour of topping up some overseas players Pension fund. Our academy is starting to produce some worth while players and our...

Re: United Rugby Championship

Saw the writing on the wall when rumours that Sky might be taking over. Initially renewed on a monthly basis so I could watch the Rainbow cup then cancelled. Have been offered renewal for £80 but so far not going to renew. I reckon between BBC Wales and N.Ireland especially with I player Coming into...

Re: United Rugby Championship

Have had a limited time offer to renew my Premier subscription but judging from what I am seeing with BBC NI. & Wales coverage and the hope that ( stress it’s a hope rather than a belief) RTÉ and Tg4 don’t bugger us About we should be Ok. Misght need to subscribe Premier for a month later in the...

Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides

There seems to be something wrong with Scottish Rugby certainly at Pro14 level. Just look at the number of players opting to leave both the Warriors and the Gunners. Also look at the number of coaches and staff who have opted to leave the SRU organisation. I know all clubs release or loose players b...

Re: Ireland Summer Tour (at home) 2021

At last Farrell has selected a team that is being met with general approval through out the 4 Provinces and which seems to have been picked most of the inform players available. Now all he has to do is to get his attack coach to either let them play their own game or produce an effective attack plan...

Re: 2021 U20 6 Nations

What was the TMO doing during this game because this ref needed his help. Some very poor decisions and a weak TMO.

Re: 2021 U20 6 Nations

It’s fair enough to say that Doak played well on Saturday but he cannot be considered a shoo in to replace Cooney as he first has to overcome McKee Nd Finlay on his way to 5hat destination.He may do so but the other two competitors cannot be discounted and it is a great position for Ulster to find t...

Re: Rainbow Cup

Justin maybe more realistically some of the younger players may be hoping for a trip to the South Pacific this summer with Uncle Andy.
I expect Galland to be watching Exeter tonight.

Re: Semi finals schedule

I share your sentiments entirely Capt I am watching the game on Friday banking on an Ulster win a quality game would be a bonus but not as essential as an Ulster win.

Re: Rainbow Cup

Having endured a season of being bombarded by mostly rubbish Emails etc from the Pro14 media machine and having been told of the great plans for the Rainbow Cup it now seems they have gone AWOL when it is allegedly about to. Start but no confirmation or denials of it losing 4 of the 5 South African ...
