HC 2022-23 Played th'ee, lost th'ee, we are like a pun'a'mince FFFS Believe that if you wish however, here are the facts: Round Yin: Sail away - well may...

A lot has changed in the last 10 years, some good, some bad. Good is a first rate stadium (free by the way), much better than somewhere like RDS or Thomond as it’s built for 18,000, on all four sides, plus better facilities. Good is also to see more diversified crowds. the numbers will return but w...

Welcome to the board DingDong. Nice to see some new people joining.

Indeed welcome. Its not ding dong bell by any chance?

A post from Babbling Brook. Is Jackman winding up or is there something in this? ‘Pretty direct words from both ROC & Jackman on separate podcasts today and not complimentary of Ulster. Seemingly they messed up and didn't get the covers down until very late last week so pitch was 60% unplayable ...

Glasgow relocated to Murrayfield for this evening’s Challenge Cup match. Don’t know whether there were paying spectators.

Four is taken, Cap’n. But you’re welcome to number five

I may be alone in this opinion, but I actually think Carter is having a decent season, and playing much better than last year (when in fairness he was absolutely useless, and I was bewildered by the decision to extend his contract). I imagine the thinking is that he offers more set piece ballast / ...

“I can remember travelling to Edinburgh 1963 ish as a member of the NI B&B battalion team. Overnight rough ferry to Glasgow on Friday, train to Edinburgh, played on training pitch at old murrayfield............match at lunchtime.........stuffed them!!” Bobbievee, I was on that trip too, remember...

‘And one for James Hume, you have to earn the right to posture and strut, and if you think beating a Leinster B side gave you that kudos, then more fool you.’ This! Our backs are not in good form bar McCloskey, Marshall and Moore (when playing in position). The second half was grim viewing, but I th...

A frustrating watch. Result never in doubt but they made heavy weather of it. Crowd not engaged at all. Perhaps after the second try they lost a bit of concentration, which will be disastrous against better opposition. Tom Stewart was excellent, puts himself about to good effect, makes a tackle, get...

From the42website today:
‘Ulster scrum-half Nathan Doak and Ulster hooker Tom Stewart will also join the squad later this week.’

Perhaps the wrong thread but at least it’s about a prop. ‘Veteran loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff has given the DHL Stormers over a decade of service and head coach John Dobson says the club will not stand in the Springbok’s way if he wants to join Ulster. Kitshoff is reportedly set to join Ulster on...

The Ulster Rugby coaching team have named the squad that will travel to South Africa to play the Emirates Lions and Cell C Sharks over the next two weekends in the Vodacom URC. The players involved in the victorious Emerging Ireland tour will link-up with the Ulster squad this week in South Africa. ...

The Ulster Rugby Medical Performance team has issued a squad update ahead of Saturday’s Round 5 Vodacom United Rugby Championship fixture versus Emirates Lions at Emirates Airline Park. Ian Madigan sustained a left knee injury during Saturday’s BKT URC home fixture against the Ospreys. He will have ...
