I had hoped to travel to the Bath match in December. Thank I will go to a Pantomime instead. Same difference. Isnt it strange that the U18 Sch...

Re: We need a ten, but we don't seem to know it.

Trimby with an interesting piece on his podcast this week. Said that Ulster played their best rugby when PJ was really challenging the outside backs and flinging wide passes with the expectation that somebody be in the right place to catch it and exploit the space, haven't seen evidence of that in ...

Re: End of the road for Dan??

maybe we're not good enough, our structures arent good enough, the coaching isnt good enough... but more importantly any Ulster side has lacked serious barsteward for years, no street smarts, no proper doirty ballixes to lead us into battle, our Barista based culture is too nice... we are soft and h...

Re: Where do we go from here?
