The UAFC

I had to check that I had got my concession price when I saw the amount I was-being asked to pay but bit the bullet and signed up.

Agreed CI Man Marshall is a major loss regrettably his injury record has gone against him and didnt seem to be flavour of the month for our ecently departed head Coach.
Some of the selections over his last 18 months were bizarre.

As a matter of interest with regard to the tax rebate how would it work with a player say like Carberry going to France or Johnny Sexton havong a year at Racing. Is it a question of doing ten years stretch or ten years as a total and do they have to retire from Rugby as an Irish based player? Under ...

A bit of justice for all those on here that criticised Billy Burns so enthusiastically. I don’t think that Billy Burns is perfect but he can get the line moving and whilst he could never be described as a crash ball tackler but he is willing to put his body on the line more than some of his predeces...

Can’t really argue too much with CIMans logic even if it is a bit pessimistic. I think part of t He problem is even though the squad was cut at the end of last season we are still carrying to much dead wood. There are a number of squad members who we are carrying who are not going to make it. I can ...

I don’t think you were here Justin when we had the golden boy Matt Williams in front of the camera, ( look how that ended) R Murphy is not here as a PRO but as coach and we don’t need anyone promising the world in front of the camera but someone who can revive what talent we have in the squad. Perso...

From previous matches it would seem that. Timoney and McCann will interchange depending on the circumstances so just be glad both are fit and able to play.
I would be more worried about the 6 rather than either of them.

I suspect part of the problem on the terraces is the feeding in from the back. On the original terrace you entered from the front and as you walked along you could see where there were spaces in the crowd but filling from the rear it is difficult to see spaces especially in the lower levels. It is s...

Seems highly unlikely that Toulouse will send a weakened team against Ulster. I read or heard somewhere that we had played them more often than any other team in the ERC 13 times with 6 wins each and one draw so whilst we should obviously respect them they will not be dismissing the trip to Belfast ...

Racing statement reminded me of the statements issued by Football Clubs when they say they have every confidence in the manager and they are already interviewing his replacement.

It may seem harsh but I think Crouch is right about Lowry,I think it is more due lack of alternatives due to injuries that he find himself on the Bench to morrow. I suppose he would go to fullback if any of the three quarters are injured and Stewart Moore would be moved to cover the injury or Flanne...

Two problems Covid and Jonny Petrie handling of the La Rochelle fiasco and the premature dismissal of the ground staff have left UR in financial difficulty.
The current performance on the field is not likely to resolve the finances in a hurry.

Surprised if it is with immediate effect after all the hassle with the SRU over Dan McFarland release from his contract at what in effect was the end of the season. Of course he is not going to an immediate rival in the URCand it could be argued that he is getting more experience at Toulouse. And th...

Just read the IT piece on the Ulster vLions game and really surprised that within the waffle there was no mention of the significant appearance on the bench especially after all the talk previously of the weakness of the Ulster front row. For those that don’t understand the significance pity and sha...

Suftum19 fair points re selection and agree hugely about Marty Moore his loss last year was a real disaster not only for his scrummaging but perhaps more for his ability to pop up at the right place and use his delicate handling touch. A much over looked player.
