The UAFC

I could've sworn Lowry was impeded off the ball before the first disallowed try.

99% of last night’s crowd aren’t going to see Ulster play again this season (unless we get Leinster I suppose). Absolutely massive therefore that we signed off at home like that in front of a full house. Proper atmosphere throughout the game and a perfect ending. Suddenly, there’s a sense of optimi...

I thought EOS had a great game on Saturday against the Scarlets. He played for the full 80 minutes and had a thundering run at the end of the first half - only to be taken down by a flying drop kick from Gareth Davies. I thought he scrummage well as well. I'm pleased he is staying - he looks to be ...

A signing like Morgan might help but I'd feel very good about Murphy jnr heading this way. I'm enjoying young players getting a crack. I think we shouldn't expect too much from Murphy this season, he's still very young. He'd be behind Flannery in terms of his career progression. One for the future ...

On the coaching front, Willie F taking the reins with the Irish U20s. Neil Doak joining the coaching team as well - does that open a space in the UR Academy coaching the forwards? Imagine Doak will continue as backs coach alongside Irish U20s role.

Excellent news. But he needs to be given the opportunity to succeed with his own coaching team around him. That might be an "after next season" thing though I fear when contracts are up.

Surely Ulster would take another financial hit if they end up in the Challenge Cup next year?

We have some good young players who need conditioning and intensive skills training. Newby must be gone with Bell

Ruan was interviewed on a podcast there and he said he'd be interested in a skills coaching role. Get him signed!

I'm just speculating but can see QUB getting special dispensation to keep them because they "partnered" with UR, but this is purely my guess.

I hope you're just joking, King!

What?!

You wonder if injury risk - brain injury in particular - is a factor as well...

He's meant to be an informed pundit as a former player. He did this to encourage a pile-on, and his justification / clap-back at Stu is a load of cobblers. It doesn't matter whether Ferris has a point or not. It's the sort of thing a random supporter like you or I would put up on Twitter. He seems t...

Where to from here? We're broke, mass exodus coming at the end of the season leaving a skeleton squad who seem very injury-prone. No long-term CEO or head coach secured, lost our biggest sponsor, Champions Cup looking less likely next year meaning even less income, likely fewer season tickets sold e...

Seems like Mike has had a few concussions lately. Bit concerning.
