I see Munster are due to host a select All blacks XV at thomond park this November. This season they’ve played a friendly vs South Africa ‘A’ and Harlequins, and now they booking fixtures for next season. How come, given Ulsters financial struggles, are Ulster rugby not hosting these exhibition matc...

You’re clearly struggling if you’re going back to Jones and Ross.

What about James French and Greg NcGarth, our two most recent signings on professional contracts? Or Dave Ewers?

Operations director.

Seems to think he’s now the Head coach/Director of rugby going by that interview.

What's the point then Bryn? It's not an old boys club. He should be sacked Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk He’s completely clueless.

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.

Looking forward to Pe...

Just wish he was a wee bit bigger. Will Compliment the of blindsides/number 8s in the Ulster system - McNabney, McCann, Lorcan McLaughlan, Timoney etc
