Murphy and de Klerk are quality. I’m absolutely delighted with this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Regardless of how good they are, more Leinster cast offs is frustrating I get what you’re saying but if they are better than what we have (which they are) then you take them no problem. Weird tha...

Not that that is a measure of quality but if he was a leaver surely he’s worth a punt

Nowhere near the level of Logan

Looking like our academy intake this year will be the following:

Bryn Ward (Backrow)
James McKillop (Lock/Backrow)
Jack Murphy (Flyhalf)
Sam Berman (Centre)
Wilhelm de Klerk (Flyhalf/Centre)

Folks, we will get Europe and we will get a home QF trust me

Word on the Leinster forum that u20 centres Sam Berman and Wilhelm de Klerk have been offered Ulster academy contracts. 2 quality players but likely means Ellerby won’t be in

The smaller schools are starting to produce great players
Look at Dromores Irish representation this year and Banbridge as well. Coleraine and Dalriada also have good Ulster representation

Ulster u18 schools 60-5 Munster
Don’t know the clubs result

I know it’s early days but has anyone heard much about next seasons academy squad?
Who’s getting promoted?
Who are the potential new entrants?

My guess:
Promotions:
Mcnabney
Wilson
Mcloughlin
Hopes

New entrants:
Ward
Logan
Scott
Mckillop
Ellerby
Can see a Leinster player coming up north

Until ulster have an outhalf who can kick long as well as throw a fast skip pass to 13 we will struggle. Doak had the potential but he is 6-7 years behind his peers in terms of experience at 10. Not ideal. Doak can throw the skip pass you’re looking for. Doak has played 10 all through school and fo...

Outhalf depth chart next season

1. Nathan Doak
2. James Humphreys
3. Reece Malone

True Ulster royalty

I think that this ‘player revolt / toxicity’ thing is a bit overblown. From what I’ve heard toxicity, to the extent there was any in camp, came from the top - and in fact I don’t really like that word although I’ve probably been guilty of using it in the past myself about McFarland / Ulster. Others...
