The UAFC

Not that weird Hendie would be fourth choice and the oldest of the second rows but I would expect only an appearance during the second half to be honest except for the fact that both AoC and Treadwell are unavailable. so one of the Reas could be featuring in the second row In addition to those membe...

Ewers would be a natural given the number of potential back row players -- may have been signed to allow some to fill out and get seasoned to both the training and speed necessary for the PRO game. Like wise Jones,those with potential already look better bets than Jones and the Reas may also have on...

AT last England have a Captain who looks as stupid as the ref ( cheap shot) The English game was so like the "Eton Wall" game as both sides edged across the pitch with one yard carries due to the (SA) rush defence. Which has its roots in the fact that ref generally referees from the centre...

"Ulster Rugby" as some recognise covers all aspects of the game in the 9 counties of Ulster- Schools - Club and Professional Male and Female from the registration , eligibility of players for clubs and games , discipline, club conduct home and away the blazers overview the lot by committee...

Stu is an out-and-out inside centre ,the only suitable player for the third seat on the bench for the backs is a utility player who can move across the back line . While players can fill in at scrum half and out half the options become fewer when in possession and the attack becomes predictable . I ...

FIRFU ruined Ulster and possibly cost Ireland the World Cup hypocrites and morons

The only guy who rescued the IRFU was Humphries recruiting Burns with the promise of an Ireland cap but Billy was and is no substitute unfortunately has his moments but few and far between

I'd love know who you think should be in charge Because i know of one club that by passed its blazers spent a fortune and then had to sell most of the assets of the club Every business has its good directors and its bad directors and the wisdom of the old bull is better than than that of the young b...

Dave he went back SA for family reasons so the brainfart might not have changed the present situation .

The big bF was of course made by the self-righteous not so innocent as those who were.

There maybe some booze left in the changing rooms for after the match --but everything thereafter would i assume be paid for by the players recognition of the fact that from monday to match end, booze is meant to be off the menu. Booze and training don't mix too well. I'm sure there is only one F in...

Pedantic Sir Pedantic!!! he-- when sent off had already repeated the same offence and was sent off to avoid it occurring a third time

But for the" blazers " most rugby clubs would cease to exist most are volunteers unpaid who devote many hours to enable the game to exist at club level -- many are competent networkers but there are a few who are there for the ego trip. Post matches dinners are either paid for in advance o...

Hopes showed up well in the first 15-20 minutes but like all age games most of the boys will shine for a couple of weeks and then fade away as the realty of professional rugby hits them --- they don't have to be as good as existing players they have to be better and that gets harder each year after ...

His problem will be that it was the same offence repeated twice -- and the offence being one that is considered foul play rather say a repeat of an like off side or failure to release and therefore subject to review to being up graded during the game.

Lowes kicking actually was not superb he was lucky that the French return of non touch kicks was extremely poor . If you are kicking for touch make touch but kicking long without close followup can frequently be extremely dangerous since it gives away possession and if the return is fast you can be ...

Without their scrum half France lacked any flair and when the second row went off their morale hit zero only some friendly refereeing gave France the opportunity to score a couple of trys. Thus the match is not a basis for assessing the Irish performance or future performances . CI the major problem...
