Re: Contract Situation

Plenty of quality players go on until their mid30’s.

Guarantee McCloskey will be a professional rugby player beyond the age of 33.

Re: Ulster's finances

Similarly, if they hadn’t and the La Rochelle game went ahead etc, then they would have made a small profit.

I’m assuming it was a tax saving exercise, as well as an investment.

Re: 2024 U20's

Ireland we’re leaving with 2 points (lBP & Try BP and England 5pts.

Meaning there would have been a 4pt gap on the table between the two sides.

Ireland could have won the tournament with a BP win and England losing without a BP next weekend.

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Boyd has played mostly at loosehead. He done well though, but needs to concentrate on one position from Here on in.

Re: Contract Situation

There will be between 5-10 players leaving every summer, Connacht, Leinster and Munster have similar numbers.

Re: Contract Situation

Sorry to be a downer on a Friday, but I’ve heard that the one rumour that I was hoping would prove to be unfounded in fact has legs… namely that in fact it is 12 contracts that are going, with the 12th being Stu [emoji30] Not a done deal yet but Ulster are expecting him to go. Looking forward to Pe...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

Apologies, I quickly updated at halftime so the point on Flannery may have been open to misinterpretation. He said that Burns would be leaving but it wasn’t for him to disclose the destination to which someone replied ‘we already know where he’s going to’ and there was no response which I took as c...

Re: The skipper

I think longer term McCann will be the captain,, but a Hume must be a strong voice during training and in team meetings to be selected as captain ahead of players like Tom Stewart, Addison, Cooney and Kitshoff.

Re: Team for Dragoons

I thought I'd take a quick look to see what the great unwashed thought of that nonsense last night. Anyone seeing that as positive needs to shed the blinkers, The greatest stat of the night is that Ulster allowed a team of dustbins who had scored 17 tries in 10 league matches to score a TBP away fr...
