Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

Culhane started for Leinster last night at 8 and he was up against the freakishly strong Gleeson last year.

So either he is a 6 or just not considered to be as good an 8 as those two!

Re: Best Starting XV 2023/24

Nope.

Iirc, having looked it up the other day, it was the fella’s first start and he never wore the shirt again.

Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

Disappointing performance yet again. The only way out is to sacrifice this season and infect the team with young blood. Play the likes of Crothers ,Wilson , Sheridan and Sexton. There is nothing to be gained by selecting the likes of Matty ( he does try )Rea or Greg Jones. We will not win anything ...

Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides

Just watching it.

How was he upright?!

One knee was inches from the ground and the other leg was at right angles.

Bonus point to anyone who can remember who SK scrummaged against the last time he played at Ravenhill.

It’s probably worth more than a bonus point tbh.

Double that to watch Girls Aloud.

Actually, that makes them sound good value.

Maybe not so much as I saw ‘em when there was five.

Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

Despite our hurt feelings, we are the fourth Province. Is part of our game plan (a) not to consistently retain the ball after a tackle and (b) to scrupulously avoid going for a turnover at the breakdown (c) to attack as individuals, rather than as a team? Has Rob Baloucoune lost confidence in his t...

No disrespect to any player but the young ones are no longer being allowed or given time to develop, McFarland is throwing them in believing that they are ready, they are not , we will struggle in Europe and that hopefully will start the ball rolling that we need a change , it will happen , clock i...

Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

Hope Moxham is alright, looked nasty. Probably not but why did it take so long to get him off? I’ve walked off the pitch with a broken leg and a ruptured Achilles. Not at the same time admittedly. Rubbish tonight. When was the last time Stu got subbed? He’s been poor since the WC. Dunno if it’s the...

Re: Belfast Citycentre Bar to watch match tonight

Well we saw the match at Hearth (Ballyhacamore) but whilst it was on a big screen upstairs we could get no further than the top of the stairs as it was all reserved for some private function. So it was downstairs we stood and watched the game on one of quite a few TV's but the noise of the bar was ...

Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

Two good posts.

The second one had already crossed my mind as there appeared to be a bit of Malbec in the bottle from last night.

The second bottle, I hasten to add.

Genuine Mexican or flying under a flag of convenience?

Or from Leinster?
Genuine Mexican, works for RFU.

Do I have to explain this one?!
