Re: The run in

Lack of bonus points this season taking its toll. Bulls, Lions, Connacht and Cardiff all at home were the kind of games where these are needed. The Edinburgh and ospreys losses were where we mesed up this year. If we had those 8 points, we'd be much more comfortable sitting in 5th position (but wit...

Re: The run in

Can't see us making top 8 now. Two wins would be the bare minimum but that is unlikely to happen or be enough. As said above, a run in the challenge Cup with a good seeding may be our best option. Benetton game is make or break now, they have been very good lately with a lot of players coming off a ...

Re: URC 2022/23 - Other Sides

Leinster 22-0 down after 15 mins. Looking completely bushed by the altitude.

Re: Ulster v Cardiff Friday April 19, 7:35pm - BBC2 NI / BBC2 Wales / TG4 / Premier Sports (UK) 2 / Premier Sports (Irel

Pound for pound lowry is a better tackler than stockdale but that doesn't mean that he doesn't lose out against bigger players, that's just physics. If Jacob hit as hard or with the same technique he would nail players, but he seems to prefer hurting people going forward as opposed to defence. To me...

Re: Ulster v Cardiff Friday April 19, 7:35pm - BBC2 NI / BBC2 Wales / TG4 / Premier Sports (UK) 2 / Premier Sports (Irel

As good as Izzys effort and endeavour was for the try saving tackle - it should have been a penalty try - you can't kick the ball out of someone's hands. Totally missed by officials, commentators and pundits I don't think it was a deliberate kick as he couldn't see where his feet were at the time. ...

Glad to get the win and who knows what a shot in the arm it will be for the team. Credit to Sheridan and mccann who both look like becoming stalwarts of this side for the next 10 years. Bar AOC and ewers that was a fairly inexperienced pack we had out and a backline with more years ahead than behind...

I will not be surprised if we lose this game. Our confidence is shot to pieces, we are missing our main pack leaders and Cardiff are playing well. Undoubtedly they will come sensing blood. Time for the young guys to stand up, I have no doubt the effort will be there but fear they will be hamstrung b...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

If the irfu are happy for 4 out of 5 outhalfs to sit in leinster and it not affect their international chances, then they must allow ulster to sign a ten. It is too important a position to be hoping someone will work out. Cooney has perhaps one or two seasons left, doak could have nailed down the 9 ...

Re: Clermont v Ulster, Saturday April 13 12:30pm (UK Time) TNT Sports - Actual Channel TBC

Fair play Jean but this is bigger than 1-2k season ticket swing. If we weren't shored up by FIRFU we would go the way of LIR, Wasps and Worcester. Bit like NI, we are the rugby equivalent of the Civil service- a lot if passengers, sick notes, supported by subvention, with only a few noteworthy prof...

Re: Clermont v Ulster, Saturday April 13 12:30pm (UK Time) TNT Sports - Actual Channel TBC

I've renewed the season ticket. I don't believe taking more money out of the system is going to make things any better. I appreciate that for some it is a major outlay each year, but not renewing now outside of financial resons isn't going to help. We've lost the CEO and head coach with a major spon...

Last 15 will say a lot about who cares in this team. Watch out for lazy stupid penalties.

Get flannery on to see if he can give us some shape going forward.

We look better defensively than on attack. We look a bit toothless going forward, there are gaps to exploit but we don't have the nous to exploit.

Re: Clermont v Ulster, Saturday April 13 12:30pm (UK Time) TNT Sports - Actual Channel TBC

This is one of those games where the French teams can down tools. They are dangerous in the 1st 30 mins and play with the freedom of it not being a league match. If you can stick with them or get a score ahead then they can become loose and ragged. The best case scenario is they throw the towel in a...
