Re: Dragons v Ulster Sat 13th March 7:35pm KO

I thought Lowry had a great game. He is a superb passer of the ball, is lightening fast when he makes a break and is very sound defensively.

He just needs to add some variation to his kicking and he could be overtaking Burns as first choice in a year or so.

Re: Ulster v Leinster Sat Mar 6th 7:35pm KO

Great to see Baloucoune and Coetzee starting - especially as Marcell looked in such a bad way 2 weeks ago. Also pleased to see Izuchukwu getting more more experience from the bench. I think he is going to be some player for us in the future. A strong side put out by Leinster - they have incredible s...

Re: Ulster v Ospreys Fri Feb 26 8pm KO

Not having seen much of the ospreys since booth took over I was impressed with their work ethic and directness in the backs. The big 12 was a handful and they look to be on the way back to being the top Welsh side again. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk I agree with this post. I though the Ospr...

Re: Glasgow v Ulster Friday February 19th 7:35pm KO

With 20 year old Louis Rees-Zammit impressing with Wales - why shouldn't young Sexton get another outing with Ulster pretty soon.

Rees-Zammit looks a bit suspect is defence - as does Sexton - but I think Sexton is faster.

We have no chance of catching Leinster - so let's release the Academy!!

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021

This is worth watching:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIpu1Kmhq94&feature=youtu.be :D :D That's hilarious - but so true!! A great game played by Scotland - but I thought England's pack were under powered. I think the Scaracen's players are badly missing game time. Their backline wasn't up to...

Well that's the long and the short of it! :duck:

Hope to see young Stewart getting a run out soon. I hear he is quite a prospect.

Re: Ulster Backline Attack

Of all our centres I see Stewart Moore as having the greatest potential - but not at 13, I see him as an inside centre. I think he has the talent to be the second playmaker, he has skilful hands and is getting better defensively - plus he has a great left boot on him to compliment the right of eithe...

I think our guys will be up for this one. To quote Frank Carson: "It should be a cracker".
My heart fully supports them. My head thinks we will lose.
Fair enough - you might be right!

Re: ULSTER MOTM vs Munster

If it was for the first half performance alone I would give it to Billy Burns. But it turned into a forward battle in the second half and I thought Timoney had a great game throughout the match - he get's my vote. Special mention to young McCann. Although I don't think he got any turnovers, he didn'...

Plus it was the third time he didn't manage to strike the ball when it was put it.

Poor call indeed.

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Is that David Humphrey's son at Outhalf?

Does anyone know how good he is? Hopefully he can tackle better than his Dad or his Uncle!!

Re: Connacht v ULSTER MoTM?

Never thought I wold vote for Ian Madigan.

He kicked brilliantly and every kick seemed to mean so much to him.

I hope he stays at Ulster for quiet a few years!
