Sorry Mrs H, I tend to disagree. A URSC committee member (and identified as such) was quoted in the media in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's assault. This expressed revulsion at what had happened. Frankly a statement from URSC stating the bleeding obvious will not now provide any particular adde...

Folks. I am in the photo - second row - right hand side. I was around 5 metres out from goal line. The assault happened between goalline and dead ball line - perhaps 10 metres from goaline (big deadball area in ST). Brennan was eventually dragged from his victim by security and straight down onto pi...

I've booked my match tickets on Stade website as instructed by Ulster Rugby (when they ran out). Anyone know where you actually collect the tickets. Is it at the ground or the Club shops in town or somewhere else? Doesn't seem to be anything on my e-receipt that mentions a collection point. Don't re...

Brian Bloomfield taught me how to play rugby;

Davey Wells taught me how to win.

Have to say that I thought it was a great interview. Searingly honest - as we have come to expect of the man. As most of us know there's a lot more to being a professional sportsman than simply the 80 mins a week on the paddock, the physical and mental preparation of the previous week, the grind of ...

Cables said: Aye, but sure in the same article he could not spell a player's name correctly!

The story about Warne is also wrong. The wisecrack came from a Zimbabwean called Brandt (or something like that) in response to sledging from Geoff Lawson.

Sorry LI Moonraker

There's me trying to be concilitory and I go and insult you again!

bit up rather than conspiracy....honest!

LI Moonraker Hooray! Glad someone enjoyed themselves. Hope you will be back. We are always pleased to see travelling fans as we ourselves enjoy the hospitality of others when we are away. I hope the bile and vitriol (on all sides) can be put to one side and that we continue to do enjoy what makes ru...

With Christmas almost upon us time to buy your Ulster gear at cheap prices. At the Ellesse/Speedo shop at Junction 1 there is a large Canterbury section which I have heard will have 06/07 Ulster stuff in from tomorrow. Shirts are at least £10 off anywhere else eg The Ulster aramalite (players style...

The Munster fans will get their chance next week....when the shows goes deep south. They'll be able to talk about Hooky loveing the Boss and how if the Munster front row is cr*p can they still be the best team in Europe/World...... The whole idea of the show is to try (whether successfully is a moot...

Went to recording of Pope & Hook Show last night. Enjoyable evening - though, in truth, Hook was well behaved....the presence of Justin Harrison as star guest helped I suspect. At one point Hook reminded everyone that P&H were to be the comedians - to which Justin replied that having heard s...

Great evening on a foul night. Well done to all concerned. One of the questions was name the 6 (six!) Ulstermen that toured with the all conquering 74 Lions. Wouldn't it be great if we could say that again about a Lions touring party. Once again thanks to the questionmaster and his beautiful assista...

A truly uplifting story of bravery and determination in adversity. Puts poor refs, selection debates, and national stadia arguments etc in perspective. It's a pity the Sunday World doesn't do positive "International sports star is real life hero" stories..... Actually it has the makings of...

Just a little footnote from Friday's match now having recovered from driving around 900 miles in the past week supporting the cause. I had a brief word with Steiner after the match: First, he confirmed that he would be available for selection for the Cardiff game in response to my query as to whethe...
