Re: Bryn Cunningham in the Daily Telegraph - stop thinking about winning

🙂 I think you know the answer. DH the prime mover in signing RP and JM. Possibly also PW. Not so sure about JA.

Re: Rate your top 5 foreign signings

1) Ruan: top of the list every time, true legend
2) Johann: true leader
3) Pedrie: underrated, understated, absolute rock
4) Jared: superb skills, red card notwithstanding
5) can’t decide between Nick and Marcel: excellent

Short-termed: Stefan & Christian

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

“My understanding of Sopers current role is he is almost limited to coaching the attack of the unselected 15 to mimick the attack of that weeks opposition, when it comes to coaching team attack Dan McF is in charge.”

Very interesting post. If correct it says it all about DMcF.

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm

I’m always loth to criticise, perhaps too much so. But that was shocking. What I can’t understand is the policy re selection and use of the bench. Why was Kitshoff not starting? Warwick strikes me as a decent LH but he’s no Kitshoff. Why was Cooney not in the squad? Why was Burns not in the squad? W...

Re: Injury Update

I think Moore should try lock down 15. Lowry has proven to be a defensive liability and lately hasn't been the attacking threat that he was 2 seasons ago. He's definitely not the backup 10 we hoped he'd be either. ‘lately…’ ? He’s hardly played at all this season so maybe that explains why he hasn’...

Re: Glasgow v Ulster

Despite the way things went in the second half, on reflection I’m positive about how things are going. Young guys being introduced and given good exposure to tough opponents, and they are showing up well; Ewers, Timoney & McCann a good back row; Hume seems to have re-discovered his form; Kitshof...

Re: Ulster v Vodacom Bulls Sunday October 29th 17:00 - Viaplay Sports / BBC Two NI (also iPlayer) / Super Sport

Good to see Stockdale playing with a bit of confidence again. He had a good game. As did McCann and Sheridan. Postlethwaite impressed and Hume seems to be recovering some form - though not yet at the level he was at 2 seasons ago.
