The UAFC

Wonder if Carter will get picked ahead of Big Frank? Gotta be the tallest set of locks Ulster have ever had! Is Carter our 6th choice lock? 1 Henderson 2 Strangler 3 Treadz 4 Izzy 5 Big bad Bradshaw 6 Carts? Yes (imho anyway) but only because we only have 6 locks Utter waste of an NIQ spot Sent fro...

OK, so now it's official . My prediction is, we're pretty much guaranteed to lose Lowry, Baloucoune, Hume, Timoney, Treadwell and O'Toole. I'd imagine McIlroy, Stewart Moore, Doak, Marcus Rea and O'Sullivan will also be under consideration. My paranoid Ulster fan head suspects conspiracy, but it's ...

Yes but ............... Bangor????

Despite the gut sickening losses to Toulouse & Stormers - we aren’t far off. I'd agree with this but then I've a real fear that the SA sides are going to dominate this league for years. They stated slow this year and then kicked on. They've increased their budgets and are able to retain players...

Yeah, we were saying that too this afternoon
Good turnout and a decent atmosphere
Everything except the right result

The good news is that we are finally secure in euro qualification so that's a big story. To miss that would have been so cruel for what has been a generally good season. As regards the QF/SF I don't get the pessimism about Munster. At home, and provided we get marty, dwayne, and iain on the pitch w...

:scratch: :lol: https://www.unitedrugby.com/latest/about/competition-rules I've just re-read that (yes I know, I was at a lose end, OK) and it doesn't actually make sense. For instance paragraph 2.1 refers to ' assumptions' regarding the regional pools and also refers to a seemingly non existent ru...

Early days of the old Heineken Cup, Connacht were designated as a development side by the IRFU and were not permitted to qualify. If memory serves this would’ve been Magner’s League days and there were 3 Irish teams who qualified so in theory we could’ve finished last and still qualified Not actual...

Remember the good old days when you just had to finish ahead of Connacht? :lol: Was there not a time before that it didn't matter whether Connacht finished above us or not :scratch: they still went into Parker Pen Early days of the old Heineken Cup, Connacht were designated as a development side by...

Tactics are very questionable. A few times this year we have gotten ahead and stoped playing at 60mins. We just kick it away for the last 20mins. That’s got to be coming from management. On a completely unrelated topic to utterly useless, pointless box kicking away possession, I note Doak Snr is ba...

Season salvageable after all! And if we do the sharks, Leinster do the usual over Munster and Scarlets don’t fold to the stormers (unlikely) at home we could even sneak a home SF. The Leinster brigade (other than Timoney) are done. If Marty is done we are in big trouble. Would give Jordi the benefi...
