The UAFC

Have to agree with the last two posts.
Now hoping for Clermont to slip up at the Rec or Stoop, which is possible I suppose, but not likely.

Hi Ulstermen, Given our injury list, it's gonna be hard for us. Vahaamahina is suspended, Merrick, Van Tonder, Lapandry, C. Lanen, Fischer, Cancoriet, Fofana, Nanai-Williams, Grosso, Penaud are all out of business. The team is not bad on the paper but some of the players have played almost all the ...

I knew I’d flush either Tweedledum or Tweedledee out of the woodwork.

Use of the word “twunt”.
Likely post work London beers resulting in drunk aggressive post.

My money is on Russ.

I think Burns can kick. Did Russ and Dave keep debates going or just trot out unfunny cliches most of the time? Is it on TV? Looks strong etc BT is obviously sorely missed. Ah Lionel, you seem to be like a 6th year after the summer hols acting the forum hard lad because the bigger boys are off to u...

What has happened to this forum this season. There seems to be no enthusiasm, no interest, apathy reigns. I do not contribute tbh but have allways enjoyed looking in regularly for the wit, energy etc for our boys. Whats up ?? For me, there’s too many threads. One would probably be enough and it cou...

Reidy I mean.
Defensive work rate is amazing.

I’d have had Reidy in ahead of Rea but other than that a strong selection. Glad to see Lyttle being rewarded for his good form this season. Underhill is back for Bath, along with McConnachie and Joseph. Murphy will need to be on his game at the breakdown. I think we can turn them over though. They ...

Unbelievable negativity from some of you on this board right now. Firstly, you continue to punish UR for things over which they had no control. Ryan Pienaar was kicked out by Nucifora, not by Ulster. It was Ulster, on the other hand, who signed John Cooney and he has proven to be a very good replac...

1. It's now an IRFU franchise in Belfast rather than anything like a recognisable provincial side. Far too few local players in the team (anything less than 10 in the XV and I won't watch). 2. The treatment of Ruan Pienaar. 3. The ostracism of Jackson and Olding. 4. The crass commercialisation of g...

The South Wales Ulster supporters club are setting up an Ulster fanzone in Flan O’Brien’s. I assume the establishment with the trainspottingesque toilets?

We’re going to head there pre-match and probably post-match too.

I see Marius Mitrea is the ref....

But presumably also to ensure that if Burns isn’t fit, the out half on the bench has actually had some game time.
Which was my point.

with BJ only getting 1min on Saturday, I think that they don't rate him. Surprised that Curtis started, more surprised that he played 79 mins Were they not just giving Curtis minutes in case Burns isn’t fit? If Burns doesn’t make it, that only leaves Johnston and Curtis for the match day 23, so the...

Think you're forgetting about Reidy - one of our best and most consistent back-rowers. Also think Hendy isn't quick enough to play six. Don't know if Carter has ever played in the back row. Arguably Treadwell is the quickest of all our locks. But for me, our primary back row would be Reidy, Murphy ...

WE will have access to a few more players who might make a difference in the backs but AS USUAL IT IS OUR PACK THAT IS UNDERWHELMING. Adding Moore, Herring, Henderson and Murphy is good but they are not goiung to uplift the other guys to new heights - sadly. EOS / McGrath Herring / McBurney Moore /...
