Re: If the URC was a proper league ...

People have the gall to complain about anything. We ARE brill. I for one welcome our capitulations as they keep expectations down. Also stops other clubs from pinching our best players, fooling them into thinking we're not actually brill and are in fact a bit crap. Who's having the last laugh now, ...

Re: Leinster VS Ulster HC QF 01/04/23

Leinster biggest budget in Europe with all the IRFU contracted players then they have core budget to retain the rest…how can Ulster ever compete with that. Maybe one off game we beat them but Ulster are Parker Pen standard when you see the quality of the potential QF teams Our basic problem isn't b...

Re: Ulster v La Rochelle - Saturday (Sunday?) Ravenhill (RDS?)

Received money into my bank account today from Ticketmaster. What it's for I don't know. If it is a refund for La Rochelle game I've not been advised by anyone.
