The UAFC

Farrell is an Ulsternan - but that's ridiculous!!

What a professional outfit is Premier Sports!!

I'll be sorry to see Marcel go - he has been brilliant over the last couple of years. However with big operations on both knees, I was always worried he was going to break down every match - especially as there were always two or three defenders waiting to tackle him. I wish him well and I hope he g...

Good determination and speed from Izuchukwu for his try and a couple for Sexton. A couple of good Connacht tries as well.

Ironic that Ireland's best out half is currently playing for London Irish!

That was some try bu young Sexton!

Yes and with a lot of weight behind him as well.

Well played Ulster - we gave one of the best teams in Europe a good run for heir money. We were missing so many front line players and when we lost Coetzee and Carter early in the second half I thought Toulouse were going to run away with it. But we stuck in a fought well and could have got closer i...

Much as I loved, admired, stood in awe of Ruan, I'm not sure about him as a coach, for two reasons. First, he seems too 'nice'. He's a quiet self effacing soul, not what is necessary for a good coach. My second reason is that he is an instinctive player. He seems to just do it. If you were to ask h...

Given the size of the Toulouse pack I wonder if it's worth considering a 6/2 bench, to have a lock and 2 back row options. Assume Cooney / Lowry cover 10, so a scrum half plus whichever centre/wing doesnt start Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk I think that would be a good call having a 6/2 benc...

Easy choice with John Andrews - he had a really good game in both the tight and the loose.

The whole pack played well - with a good showing by Dan Carter.

I also think Stewart Moore will be the Irish No 12 for the 2023 World Cup - for a young guy he can do everything!

Apart from that 15-20 minutes in the second half Ulster were by far the stronger team and ran out easy winners. Aaron Sexton looked a little bit lost at times - but so did Baloucoune in his first few matches. With his physique I'm sure Aaron will develop into a Jonny May type player - he just needs ...

Apparently Mr Roberts is a young South African playing for Rainey as Big Merv pointed out. He looks pretty useful in his highlights reel - but don't they all when they leave out all the bad bits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxPSU2yAsDc Is Adam McBurney paying the price for not winning that last ...
