The UAFC

A close call between the ever excellent Lowry, a powerful performance by EOS, and Mr Consistent Sean Reidy. Gave it to Reidy for overall impact (at times literally!) on the game.

More chance of starting for Ireland if you're from Auckland rather than Belfast.

Or even Craigavon!

Clearly it’s Marcel - but wee Mikey just seems to get better and better - a real hunger for the game and a good rugby brain to go with it - a real asset! Marty is a genuine stalwart doing an enormous amount of solid work each game - hope he remains fully fit! Good to see youngsters such as Moore and...

No Cooney - a D4 call?

Chris Farrell - forever an Ulsterman

John Andrew for me - probably his best game yet! Reidy, Marty and Cooney ran him close with very good outings. Faddes and Carter answered some questions. The pack were solid and Jared will have been pleased with the defensive effort. A game that was enjoyable to watch without having to hide behind t...

The good news is that we will probably get Jacob back for Ulster matches now that Lowe is in the squad - along with Stu and Billy once they’ve finished holding tackle bags!!

Mike Lowry for me - he actually seems to be getting better and better! Honourable mentions for Cooney, McCloskey and Marty Moore who put in a very solid shift in every sense. Good to see Luke back and McIlroy getting an opportunity- both did well.

It would more likely be forfeited by Ulster rather than postponed surely?

World class player on the pitch and a real good guy off it. His commitment, given he was on a short term arrangement, was astonishing! I remember him coming back on to the pitch at Ravenhill after playing a full 80+ and putting younger players to shame by doing half and full length full-on sprints -...

Some good performances from the youngsters- Moore did very well but inexperience saw him caught offside 2 or 3 times, Hume was strong and dependable. The bench didn’t let us down - big Gareth looked solid and McCann didn’t look out of place at all. Overall I thought the back row were particularly st...

If only he was 20% taller and heavier! Had to give it to wee Mike Lowry for sheer guts and flashes of brilliance - even before he slotted in well to out half! He is a real talent - but........!

Gave it to the Bangor Bulldozer but an honourable mention to young Lowry who really put himself about.

He doesn't need to mince his words or go all PC when he has such raw talent to back up what he said!! Love it!
He's not a bad author either - read his two novels a while back and enjoyed them - nothing fancy but half decent yarns nonetheless.

Fond memories of Big Nick - he brightened up many an otherwise miserable Friday night. Of course he was a liability as well, but deadly from 3 yards out! The sight of Nick’s head bobbing in the middle of a maul with the ball held up above him in his massive paw will be forever etched in the memory! ...
