Re: Dan Soper

I’m thinking replace Soper with Neil Doak, to his credit the Ulster backline always looked dangerous under his watch and he improved a number of young guys. Bell needs to replaced as well, find a young defensive coach. Can’t be much worse. Our guys look confused every time the ball goes wide. No in...

Re: Bath v Ulster

In just one weekend, it's noticeable that all Irish provinces adopt a similar playing style, directly influenced by the national team. There's a concern about becoming overly predictable, despite executing multi-phase shapes effectively in Ireland. The challenge arises when we can’t get go forward. ...

Re: Dan Soper

The standout coaches in the province are Doak and Soper, to those familiar with their work. Miles ahead of the rest. Payne a huge loss technically but by all accounts a narcissist. McFarland poses a huge concern. Observing the Irish setup at the end of last season, Farrell has fostered a positive cu...

Re: Bath v Ulster

Following two significant defeats and a draw for the Irish provinces, coupled with the likelihood of another loss tomorrow, the IRFU might find themselves under increased scrutiny. Their relatively unchallenged status could be coming to an end. It’s got to get worse before it gets better. Sent from ...

He’s been nothing short of pi*s poor so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Re: URC: Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby Sat 2nd Dec 17:15

It’s just not McFarland it’s the whole coaching ticket. Soper got this job on the back of one of the best schools sides ever. Cooney so much better than Doak but his father’s involvement gets him the position. The coaching team is a shambles. Defence, everything. Some good kids and talent being was...

Had a feeling Billy would be good to go.
The ligament situated at the front of the ankle which typically requires around 6-8 weeks for recovery apparently.

Big Dave is indeed pictured on Insta which will help me sleep tonight. Maybe KOTH has been fed a line to winkle him out??!! Big Stu has been all over the Press this week. He’s had a couple of outings to shake off the WC and now we need him back at his best. The brad pitt Barnet and ‘tache isn’t hel...
