Re: 2024 U20's

slightly more like a cricket score, scoring another try with the clock red.

Well played lads.

29-0 - not quite the cricket score, but 4 tries anyway.

France have butchered a couple of nailed on scoring chances - hope they don't regret that.

Re: Ulster's finances

So football won’t go there, and rugby doesn’t need to go there…..maybe except for artificially set up matches. So GAA are probably the sole users…….and therefore the sole financiers. Imagine the Treasury in London deciding whether we put 200 million into the GB health service, education, controllin...

Re: Joke of the Day

Wonder did we ever unknowingly meet in Durham Street, before we eventually met at Ravers? :scratch: Probably not. I was only in Durham St a couple of times before they relocated to the new unit in the City Hospital. Dr Scally was in charge when I was a regular. Dr Scally was a lovely woman. I was o...

Hope that cricket score comes in the second innings. :shock:

Re: Ulster's finances

And we are back to the original problem. Who wants to play NI soccer matches in a 35000 stadium with a 20000 crowd, or an Ulster rugby match with 15/18000 crowd? Which can be accommodated at Ravers anyway. Why would we pay GAA to host a match we can host ourselves, let alone lose out on bar and foo...

Re: Ulster's finances

New stadium effect. People want to go and experience it for the first few years. Play a big European match there or against a NZ xv with cheap ticket prices and marketed well and it would work. Even 28k at Casement would still look good. Other than the euros (potentially) I couldn't see NI going ba...

Re: New Signing - Werner Kok

Stats aside, one could argue that Kok is the living embodiment of our new ‘three pillars’ of energy, enjoyment and competitiveness. He never stops, has had a bit of craic with East Terrace and knew he’d have to be the fittest bloke in the squad to make up for being a short Brennan. Would you want y...

Re: Bryn Cunningham in the Daily Telegraph - stop thinking about winning

Taken in the full context, I think what Bryn said is perfectly true - we're not in a position to be competing, but what he goes on to say is also true that we need to be bringing players through our academy, building bridges with schools etc. In that context, nothing to see here . . .
