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 ...

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...

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.

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...

Good job raka and lowry not on same wing. Would fear for the big guy.

Playing against 14 players should give us a marginally better chance.

Still need a couple of yellows probably.

Clermont with some big names still there. Will be tough but if we can get ahead then their motivation may drop. Can't be giving them easy points early to get confidence up.

Takn from the tournament website... The Round of 16 threw up some thrilling battles, but only eight have been able to make it to the quarter-final stage, with all matches set to take place next weekend. The highest ranked club in each match will have home venue advantage in the quarter-final and sem...

Ewers did get stepped easily, but he carried hard and rarely gets put on the flat of his back unlike others. As mentioned above, kitscoff, hendo and ewers are the only pack members who rarely get knocked backwards which is a prerequisite when playing in France. Murphy reckoned hendo would be ok as i...

The point about TOT is that it is an easy pen for the tmo or assistant ref to give, especially when he holds his arm in around the shoulder / neck area.

Hopefully TOT is being told how to tackle close the ruck without throwing a lazy arm over the shoulder. He got pinged for it in the 1st half and did the exact same early in the 2nd. If an armchair fan can see this issue, then I would hope our esteemed video analyst did also. Sent from my SM-F721B us...

The sharks will host in somewhere they have a direct flight connection, so either Paris or London. You'd be hopeful they want to attract a crowd so perhaps a London game would suit them the best. Didn't the lions base themselves in Italy for a while back?
