Re: Dan McFarland

It's standard practice. Coaches can't wait until their contract ends like a player to find a new club. When a coaching job becomes available then they have to act. Dan came for an interview in the full knowledge of the situation with the SRU. He should have had a clause in his contract to allow him...

Re: Dan McFarland

Scotland making a very public point, hands off players and coaches or at least follow some protocol. Interesting point, there might be something to that... SFA interesting about it Chris, just a simple statement of fact by Ger, obvious to all but clowns. Mind you, I still like a cut at those dour, ...

Ulster or Scotland?
If he wanted a job with Scotland he should have applied for a job at Wasps.

Re: Dan McFarland

What exactly does an international forwards coach do from week to week? I suspect Dan could be in Ulster a fair bit of the week without srfu knowing what he is at. Unless they give him desk duties for 6 months. Perhaps he might feel some sick leave is appropriate at this time. Sent from my SM-G935F...

Re: Dan McFarland

With world cup shortly, what benefit is it for SRU to hold on to Dan.He wont be able to have any input to coaching/tactics. It must be pure spite. Oi......Red, did you ever hear about the Scots reputation for misery and miserliness, many are so mean, they owe themselves a nights sleep, it is true t...

Re: Dan McFarland

Maybe we should have gone for Danny Wilson. HC experience, turned a team of Daves into trophy winners. Was available immediately. Feel free to discuss. He certainly managed to get a shift out of Big Nick, who most of us had consigned to the knacker's yard. If he'd come to us, he could look forward ...

Re: Season Ticket Renewal

Interesting...Being as good as my word, I went in today to buy 2 new season tickets given recent announcements. Can UR really have sold out much of the stadium? I looked to get my old seats back and took the risk they would be gone...but there are very few/no pairs of seats around them (Memorial St...

Re: He's gone ... Leave your message of condolance here.

I think the high visibility jacket should be formally retired, in tribute to our departing CEO.

Say whatever you like, but we shall not see his like again.

Hopefully.

Re: Replacement 10

I see there's now a rumour that USAP are after Jantjes.. (Am I the only one who'd like to see Cooper come here?? He'd have something to prove, and on his day he's stunning..) He's a darned good player. Flair in abundance. But is he the right man for the job though? What does he bring in terms of le...
