The UAFC

So that’s two freak wins for Munster against Stormers in Cape Town now then?! Nope, the first win was not expected, by anyone except perhaps the Munster team at that time. The second win, the final, was actually forecast by most people north of the equator. Kinda misses my point that, in my opinion...

Listened to the whole thing just now. He has in many ways a thankless task, there are so many consistent problems that predated his tenure and I've no doubt he's trying hard. However my overall sense of what he said was depressing, and indicates a failure of the management to be honest with themselv...

As there isn't a dedicated thread, just to say well done to Munster. I ask myself right now how many Ulster players would I pick for Ireland and its not good. Its only 12 years since Munster won a trophy, and we're at 17 (by the grace of a ball dropping the right way off the post) and counting. Free...

This thread reminds me of the Python Yorkshiremen "We were poor" sketch, so to bring it to levels of complete farce... ...Rumours abound in the media of Toulouse making a daring bid for the "dream team" of coach Soper (with his magic laptop), outhalf Billy (tough as teak) Burns a...

I always come back to something lacking in the culture of the set up. I think we all agree that we don't believe Ulster could have dug in like Munster did on Saturday, ffs we were physically wrecked in the last quarter of the last 16 clash with Leinster, if it had been a boxing match the ref would h...

Anyone listen to Trimby's podcast last week? Priceless start, Murphy and Fogarty literally laughed for the first minute, but he took it well in fairness, as must we all. The key question being debated was whether Ulster are 4th or 5th best team in Ireland, after Tereneure? You can only laugh sometim...

No question that the group were affected by the (unsubstantiated) rumours of Munster’s big bucks swoop for Billy during the week, it unsettled the whole team….

McCloskey, aw just feck it.

Forgot Stockdale, up to 5/33

Ulster representation at WC, imo: All of course depending on injuries and performances in the warm up games: Stewart at expense of Herring (just a sense) Balacoune Henderson O’Toole Think Timoney and Treadwell will suffer because of Endofseasonshitshowgate That would make it 4 out of 33, incredible ...

One could get quite despondent really, until one remembers that Greg Jones has re-signed for next season….

Good question. Rant coming…. General comment: Doing the same thing, again and again, and expecting a different outcome, insanity and all that, that’s Ulster Rugby. You have to start with honesty. The comments about us improving, coming second in the league, scoring more tries and points. Does anyone...

After 22 years we’re not renewing our STs. To be clear, not because of that shitshow tonight, it’s a long oul haul up and down to Fermanagh on a winter evening and it’s getting pricey, but part of me wondered/hoped I might change my mind after seeing a rip roaring, cracking game in ideal weather, wi...

Just want to say that if the result, whatever it is, is put down to the referees, or TMO's performance, then we've lost. We need to win, period, regardless of refs, cards, weather, time of the month for the backs, or whether Greg Jones is fit, we must be better than that!

No coherent attacking strategy, a gift of an intercept try, a try where most defenders would have put Baloucoune into touch handily enough, double digit turnovers, knocking on in contact so well and so consistently that you wonder if we’re actually coaching it as a skill, oh, and running into teamma...
