The UAFC

South African officials are seriously questionable as to whether they are up to the job!

I see the Stormers have Immelmann again as TMO this week - with the added joy of Frank Murphy as ref!

Robbed!

Time flies - I still consider the Dublin Strangler to be a relative newcomer to the team! A good grafter , he has served us well - and skippers well too - especially now that he doesn’t let the red mist take over as often.

Let's see an English win.

Did I really say that? Give me a few minutes to think this over.

Yeah - it’s counter intuitive wanting the Englanders to win - but I’ll settle for them taking it ugly by a (controversial of course) point!

One of the best finals in recent years. Well done to both teams - they were very well prepared and played an excellent brand of rugby - at times you had to pinch yourself to realise this was in fact schoolboy rugby! A credit to their coaches I’m sure we will see some of the players from both teams f...

How many minutes of actual rugby has he played since the Lions tour?

Did we only have one hooker in the 23 last night or does one of the big lads have another string to his bow? Yes - only one specialist hooker in the squad (Andrews was ruled out before the match) - 3 props on the bench. To be fair to Declan Moore he did well enough for someone who has just arrived ...

As for the TV show PJ was never likely to get airtime and in my view, that could be justified given the (heavily curtailed) Ireland career he had. Curtailed certainly, but with 25 caps he represented Ireland the same number of times as Barry McCann and 16 times more than Brian Smith - both of whom ...

What has happened to Sean Reidy? He hasn’t appeared on a team sheet for a while and yet doesn’t appear to be injured. He has been a consistent grafter for us - surely his form hasn’t dipped so far so quickly?! Ready (unfortunately) is headed for the exit door to make way for Sean Reffell. A shame r...

but to try and bring the players into this a pretty low tactic. Totally agree! I have a lot of sympathy with the Grenfell families etc. as the whole affair has been badly handled not least by the Government. Target Petrie and the Ulster board of management by all means but the players are not party...

Answers to questions A: IMHO without substitutions a winning team at 65 minutes is not a winning one at 80. Sorry - can’t agree with this. Too many needless and senseless substitutions have ruined games in recent years. I give you Thomond Park, Easter Sunday 2012, Heineken Cup Quarter Final when we...

Some real hometown calls in that match for Quins - not just the clear forward pass but the final ‘try’ was short of the line all day long!
