Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Jordie Barrett linked with Leinster on their forum. Jackman had heard the rumour via a player apparently. He’s still got a year on his contract fwiw. Jackman reckons Leinster were looking at Jared Payne for attack coach but are becoming increasingly interested in 33 year old former Munster outhalf ...

I hope she becomes a commentator.

I think she has got a job in World Rugby overseeing referees.

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

Give the man a chance. I would settle for missing out on the top 8. We are better out of the ERC for at least another year.
It will be slow progress rebuilding the team.

Re: Clermont v Ulster, Saturday April 13 12:30pm (UK Time) TNT Sports - Actual Channel TBC

A number of years ago Ulster Rugby invited two club representatives of every club,on a phased basis, up to Belfast to watch a match. They had some food and drink before hand with a mix of Branch officials and visiting team officials .It was a great idea and much appreciated How is that a great idea...

Re: Clermont v Ulster, Saturday April 13 12:30pm (UK Time) TNT Sports - Actual Channel TBC

My reckoning is that all on here are loyal Ulster fans who care. Nobody is going to be rushing off to support the Mexicans instead. As has been shown buying in expensive NIQ players is not the panacea for the problems. The problems are systemic and need a root and branch change. It will take time b...

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

Been to lots of games, in plenty of sports, as, in effect, a neutral. I don’t support teams I don’t support (bar rare exceptions - I once went to Colchester v Walsall at Layer Road in an unsuccessful attempt to derail the away side because it impacted upon PNE’s promotion bid at the time). If pushe...

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup

Looking forward to Leinster v LR tomorrow. Nearly went but the risk of seeing thousands of happy part-time Leinster fans put me off. Interesting that most of the Irish pundits seem to be going for the Champs yet the bookies, who tend to be correct more often, make the home side 7 points favourites....

Re: Ulster's finances

"Last season, the IRFU converted more than €4 million of Munster’s “operational debt” into a long-term loan, meaning the province now owes the IRFU a total of €10.75 million when also factoring in the remaining sum owed for the redevelopment of Thomond Park in 2007/08. This conversion of operat...

Re: Contract Situation

Ulster should target Jack Boyle from Leinster (a very promising youngster behind Porter, Healy and Milne) and sign an NIQ 9 or 10. They’d still have money to spare. In reality, Kitshoff was slightly better than Kitshoff around the park, but probably on a par in terms of scrummaging. Can't see Boyle...

34, starting for Bristol and seems he has another on his contract.
Did McGinty not buy the goat? One for you oldies out there.
Yes but that was his cousin Paddy.
