The UAFC

You have to imagine Kingspan will be bidding for another extension. Probably easier to renew existing deals than to capture new partnerships (as proven by F1).

UR have such strong morals of course that they will for sure turn away any money Kingspan might throw at them for a further renewal….

Referee must have regarded the second half as a new start disregarding the first half warnings to the Ospreys🙄 I always get the impression that the warnings for successive penalties are only ever followed up in cases when an additional infringement happens quite soon after the warning of a team pla...

Hamilton throwing his influence about some more. Fair play. How long left on the stadium naming rights deal?

I didn’t get seeing the match. How did Jack McG and Marty M fair when they came on? I thought they would have stabilised the scrum. Meh. Marty used as a dummy runner rather than a carrier. His nasty bang to the head is cause for concern. He was seeing stars. jack was pretty gassed pretty quickly I ...

When might Billy Burns do something good?

Tests positive on day of arrival.

Sam Carter is useless carrying into contact. That opening 10 minutes suggests take the three every time it’s available.

A shame Ireland couldn’t work the ball to Balocoune more often. He did carry very well when it did come his way however and he managed to present the ball more quickly than the 9’s were able to get to it. I would say he has done enough to be there for the Six Nations.

Likewise with Timoney.

The All Blacks paying the price for their self inflicted bonkers schedule. They just looked shagged and France rolled the dice in style. I thought the French would fold like a paper bag once the All Blacks got back to within two but they were class. Three great games out of four today. My eyes hurt....

The raw power of the Boks in the second have was a sight to behold. Their scrum in the first half faltered. Pollard couldn’t miss in the first half then let two go begging that would have given them the lead. A good game. Winning without being the better team is never a bad trait.

Vermulen survived unscathed.

Ball ache getting back from an 8pm kick off.

Sexton injured again. If this was the World Cup he’d be out for the remainder before the group stages were done. Anybody can get injured but he gets injured a lot and the recoveries will take longer at his age. He could end up playing the New Year’s Day match. Great to see Carty hopefully get a run ...

I can’t wait to see Stockdale back. Now that Keenan has bailed down the 15 shirt hopefully Stockdale can get to work as a predominant winger who can cover full back in a pinch. His name should hold well against the likes of Lowe, Earls, Larmour and Conway when he is available for selection.

The window is closed for this season but during the on sale window this year, season tickets were available in all sections of the stadium. I’ll be buying my first season ticket for the 22/23 season. I didn’t bite this year because there was still limited capacity and the risk of cancelled games was...
