Re: Magners League 'Dream' team ...

You have to take these things with a pinch of salt, i'd say a lot of these players got in because of H Cup and International performances rather than playing consistently well (or even playing) in the Magners. Unfortunately for Ferris, Elsom has probably been the stand out player in the entire leagu...

Re: ulster miss out yet again!

Im finding it quite funny that the 3 or 4 people arguing for Andress and Stevenson only have 2 or 3 posts each, they have all just joined within the last day or so and they have only left comments in one thread Perhaps you should do your research a little more thoroughly, admittedly i'm not a regul...

Re: ulster miss out yet again!

Actually Leeds, Exeter, London Welsh, Coventry, Bedford, Nottingham, Doncaster, Cornish Pirates, Plymouth Albion, Rotherham and next Season Moseley are all full time clubs. Having watched both AIL 1 and national 1 this season i don't think the top AIL would challenge many National 1 clubs bar Newbur...

Re: ulster miss out yet again!

Yeh but there's no excuse for getting Tuohy instead of Stevenson, apart from wages probably!

Re: Season Review

I can't believe we are seriously going into next season with only those 3 signings, look at all the players leaving; Steiner, Dewey, Del Fava, Carley, Dawson, Fatpot, Hannah; essentially 2 12s, 2 hookers, 1 prop, 1 7 and 1 SR. We have brought in 1 (decent) hooker, 1 (completely untried) SR and 1 (go...

Re: Scarlets v Ulster

Uncontested scrums by the looks of it. Utter boll0cks, 2nd match in a row i've watched today that's gone down that road, something needs to be done about. an extra prop, a 23rd man if you will, should be on the bench for such occasions. Scrum was probably our best weapon as well!
