The UAFC

Told to save a million apparently.

Luckily, there must still be some money left to keep Shanners and Matty Rea.

Newby 2024.

Not certain about Soper but the general chat pointed to next year.

The best thing Murphy has done so far is to try Izzy at 6, echoing, to an extent, Baird and Ahern at Leinster and Munster respectively (although Soper was first to try something similar here by leaving McCann out wide in his solitary game in charge). Big Stu didn’t say much of note on the Rugby Pod ...

The correct answer is that the decision to let him go was entirely logical at the time, due to question marks over his fitness and the financial constraints, but in the light of Hume’s injury and Addison’s decent showings in recent games, especially at 13, it would have been handy to keep him for an...

9 confirmed leavers in the Summer. Angus Curtis (Retired), Billy Burns (Munster), Steven Kitshoff (Stormers), Luke Marshall (Retired), Greg Jones, James French, Will Addison, Dave Ewers, Shea O’Brien I thought shea was contracted to 2025? I believe so. Could have come to an agreement, with the lad ...

I thought EOS had a great game on Saturday against the Scarlets. He played for the full 80 minutes and had a thundering run at the end of the first half - only to be taken down by a flying drop kick from Gareth Davies. I thought he scrummage well as well. I'm pleased he is staying - he looks to be ...

Hilarious, right?

I was at the game at Bedford Blues in 2018.

Marcus Rea was excellent for half an hour before going off injured.

It remains the best thirty minutes I’ve seen him play.

Ha ha.

Fly half right?

He’s actually Austrian I believe so Big-Al could have got behind him.

If one can believe the online gossip, we were trying to sign Munster Schools Cup winning captain and number 8 Eanna McCarthy but he’s joining Connacht.

This caught a few people out on Twitter

Really don’t know why people do that.

Tom O'Toole and Sean Reffell's availability for selection will be assessed through the week. Club captain, Iain Henderson, had toe surgery yesterday. He is now expected to be sidelined for approximately three months. James Hume (knee) also had surgery yesterday and he will enter a period of rehab f...

Don’t think Murphy will be our 10, he was average enough at u20 level and looks a bit small, not a good omen for stepping up to pro rugby. If Ulster sign Aidan Morgan he will be in the driving seat and could well be out flyhalf for the next decade. I do agree on McKillop, an out her big blindside f...

Lots of old and not so old English players heading for the Chunnel in the summer. Saints are badly hit and, whilst Lawes is 35, Ludlum, Moon and Ribbans (last year) are all 27/28 and hitting their prime. At least one of our boys has earned himself a lucrative move though,after impressing the French ...
