Re: Leinster v Ulster Sat 8 June @ 5pm
Green shoots tonight. Ref was a joke. While not directly related to the referee, Byrne and Ryan’s reaction to the Addison penalty is why I find it impossible to wish Leinster well in Europe or for the remainder of the competition. I accept it was a penalty but the main impact was caused by Byrne br...

https://x.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1792919444273947119 Very savvy from Addison here, and a good bit of street smarts that have by and large been missing for a few seasons Any videos of Leinster being offside at every ruck like Saracens of old. Or James Ryan lying on the ball at every opportunity....

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
Interesting review from Murray Kinsella on Doak’s performance against the Stormers, including a reference to Ulster potentially looking at Jack Murphy.

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie
Apologies, I quickly updated at halftime so the point on Flannery may have been open to misinterpretation. He said that Burns would be leaving but it wasn’t for him to disclose the destination to which someone replied ‘we already know where he’s going to’ and there was no response which I took as co...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie
I went to the Q & A earlier and about 30/40 turned up so I assume the majority of those who did secure tickets didn’t turn up. A few key points, some of which may have been down to my interpretation of answers I would add: ‘looks forward to see’ McCloskey being part of our squad next year. Confi...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie
Was there any risk identified in Ulster’s finances when committing to spending £500k on a house and a significant sum on a pitch? If the risk was identified why did you sign off on such significant sums? If the risk wasn’t identified at that stage was that down to poor forecasting in advance or poor...

Re: Harlequins v Ulster Sat Jan 20 1pm KO TNT Sports 2
I wouldn’t trust this squad of putting 2 quality performances together, nevermind 4. A big pack, a 10 with a decent boot, and 2 solid centres are enough to beat this squad most times especially away from home, and that is what you get against the French. If we made the last 4 I’d be amazed. Agree 1...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports
Speaking about the seven-try defeat, their second loss of the campaign, McFarland said: "We have to face the fact that they are a really good team. "It’s a pleasure to be able to play against teams of that quality in this competition but I also think that at stages tonight we certainly did...

Tom O’Toole
Interesting snippet in the link below where Bernard Jackman suggests a switch to loose head for Tom O’Toole. While I can see it as being worth a gamble for Ireland, particularly with addition of Jager to tight head stocks, I’m not sure what it does for Ulster but we know that isn’t likely to be a co...

Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides
A game for the ages in Limerick......🙄 Weather was poor to be fair. Also today Cardiff 55-21 Dragons Scarlets 11-25 Ospreys Most interesting thing was discussion on CCs - DOC giving off ref imbalance and Heaslip trying to defend Leinsters excessive quota https://x.com/rtesport/status/17397305634208...

If Matty Rea makes a team then I worry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Was Rea playing? Didn't notice him... Small positives but thought Burns put jn a good shift and McNabney looked good again. In general a pretty dire performance though. I’d love to see a video analysis of some of the defensiv...

Re: £900k in the hole 22/23
From Munsterfans forum. Pot kettle from a Province that had to be bailed out of debt by FIRFU and still hides its annual accounts. "Strangely enough after a couple of barron seasons following the Covid interrupted years, Ulster have somehow posted almost €1m losses for last season. This can no...

Re: 2023 world cup
Sexton is livid. An interview with him now would be worth having. Seems like he's blaming someone. Would never be his missed kick though. No doubt it’ll be Hendy’s fault tomorrow in the shinner press, or Stockdale 😂 One poster on Babbling Brook already lamenting the loss of Ryan’s breakdown work at...

Re: 2023 world cup
Earls out of tonight’s game with what is described as a ‘minor niggle’. Stockdale in to the 11 jersey so fingers crossed for a big performance.
