The UAFC

Ulster A following the example of the senior team in turning down 3 points in the hope of getting 7 with Leinster ultimately punishing this. https://twitter.com/leinsterrugby/status/1309562092165439489?s=21 Penalty Ulster in our 22 in front of the posts but Johnston kicks to touch. (0-7, 35') #LEIvULS

Read an update on Babbling Brook which categorised the Leinster squad in the format below and thought it would be interesting to do the same for the Ulster squad for the forthcoming season. Following the disappointment of recent weeks I was looking to see where the hope for next season might lie in ...

Said all I had to say last week. Today was more of the same - our basics are gash. We can't pass, catch or tackle. Our two NIQs today are not worth the money and are barely pro14 level and that's such a poor league. Again we didn't take 3pts when on offer, went to the corner and blew the chance. Ma...

Could the same be said of Carter? I know his stay has been disrupted by injury but when he has played there’s nothing to suggest he’s a big upgrade on Ian Nagle.

This is getting painful to watch. Do we have all the forwards on the field because none seem to make it to the breakdown. Since the restart what seems like a choice not to contest the vast majority of breakdowns is infuriating. Other teams cause havoc with our ball and often get rewarded with penal...

Does Stockdale start on the wing with Lowry at 15? I would have Lowry in. Ludik has never let us down but over past few weeks he hasn’t shown much in terms of a spark in attack and for a game liked this I’d rather have the attacking intent of Stockdale, Lyttle and Lowry. Dan McF may have Ludik on f...

Same problem for years now - powder puff pack. In addition, I struggle to think of a team in these sort of games which displays as many brain dead moments. There is no other team who gives away so many ‘get out of jail free cards’ as we do when it’s our line out near opposition line. One we had a l...

- lineout - what can you say? It’s a joke, and I think if we’re honest has been for years. Most fans cheer when a team opts to ping a pen into the corner, my heart sinks. I don’t know if stats are collected on lineout turnovers from pens to the corner, but we must be definitely the worst in Ireland...

Stander is currently in South Africa as he played in the Connacht game and like Henderson and Stockdale has to miss two games over Christmas. Kilcoyne, Kleyn and Farrell all played vs Connacht but not sure they will be subject to the same restrictions in terms of playing time. Earls, O’Mahony and Mu...

David O’Connor confirmed as joining Ulster next season.

Any non deagio drinks on sale at ravenspan? Theyll be getting my custom from now on. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk I can imagine this will embolden the many ‘concerned London Irish fans’ who threatened never to return to a game and they will now focus on other sponsors.

Agreed Charle was an unnecessary luxury who certainly did not show much commitment during his final 12 months. If the new signing shows even half the commitment of Jared then he will be alright. Jared has proved to have been one our best NIQ signings, Piatau was signed as a bright shiny thing to di...
