It's going be a tough game against the Lions and I think we will need a strong bench to finish off the game. I would start with quite a few of the Emerging Ireland players (namely Doak, Flannery, Moore, Baloucoune, Stewart and possibly Izuchukwu) as they will have have been well acclimatised to the ...

Indeed! Nucifora must have had great foresight in identifying the talent of a 14 year old Nathan Doak. Getting rid of Ruan just cleared the way for him!!

Here a really interesting article about Ruan in The Irish Times. At 38 he has extended his contract with the Cheetahs and hoping to move into coaching in the future and he hasn't ruled out the possibility of moving back to Belfast. In fact, his comments on Ulster and the Ulster fans are positively g...

"I keep forgetting......" The song for the over 60s!

I couldn't agree more Turko.

There have been a few disappointments watching Ulster Rugby this year - but many many more positives. I've enjoyed this season.

We just need a a couple of big boys in the pack. The backs are a joy!

Wow - that's a strong team. Five of the Springbok team that played England in November. Our forwards will certainly have their work cut out for them.

It will be good to see two world class speedsters against each other - Mapmipi v Baloucoune

That's a great team and relatively strong bench. They must be going for the win!

Should be a great match.

Some of you guys are really hard on our Ulster Team. If we are not winning with a bonus point - then we are totally useless. The conditions - especially in the second half - were horrendous. We ground out a win that we wouldn't have been able to do a couple for seasons ago. We played really well - a...

I'd like to see Sexton get a run. Even if he goes on the left wing with Mike at full back.

My goodness the Scarlets look as decimated as Ulster do!!

Good to see Milasinovich back from Saracens - he must be in line for his 2 cap in two or three years.

Also good to see Aaron Sexton in the mix. I understand he has been playing every well for Malone

Next week who else may be back? McCloskey possible but what about Henderson & Luke Marshall. Anybody any idea? It would be good to get both McCloskey and Henderson back for next week - it's a big game for us. However I thought Stewart Moore had an excellent game. Solid in defence, great distrib...

That was a superb performance from Ulster considering the number of first choice players we are missing. And what a great young backline - worth the season ticket alone!

As Austin Healy said - there won't be many teams wanting to play us once we get to the knockout stage.

What did he say??
