Re: Montpellier v Ulster, Sunday April 7 12:30pm KO (UK Time), Viaplay Sports

Clermont will be a big ask however they bear no resemblance to their team of 5-6 years ago. They beat the Cheetahs 27-22 yesterday in what was Ruan Pienaar’s very last game of professional rugby. Have a great retirement Ruan and thank you for all you did for Ulster rugby! Over 400 senior games. Som...

Re: Montpellier v Ulster, Sunday April 7 12:30pm KO (UK Time), Viaplay Sports

Does the ban on SA sides hosting semifinals apply to the challenge Cup as well as the champions Cup? Not that I'm expecting ulster to win next week but would a semi against the sharks have to be held in Europe? "A home semi". Where have I heard that before? :scratch: It'll be Dublin won't...

Murphy will likely get a 3 year contract on the strength of that

On Good Morning Ulster last week Sarah Brett said "this year the boat race crews will not be able to toss their cox in the water". Pretty sure I heard stifled laughter in the background.

Re: Petrie departs…..

I'd rather have this guy than have Cunningham get promoted. At least he's a fresh face around the place. Yes. As yet we have no reason to dislike him which already puts him well ahead of the alternatives. In my experience the big private sector organisations tend to be as incompetent as most civil ...

Bit of a coincidence seeing as only yesterday we were discussing that other British establishment Ra member, Sir Roger Casement.

Re: Ulster's finances

That Casement was an interesting character. For a fella evidently keen on a sausage, I suppose it was inevitable that having turned his back on the British banger it was cosying up to the Kaiser that would turn out to be the wurst of his crimes…. Ballymena Academy man. Incredibly interesting life s...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Surely it was the downward pressure that caused that ball to scoot backwards after it hit the ground. That was a nuts decision imo. I thought it was a knock-on by Scotland. Anyone think Finn Russell could just as easily have been sin-binned (or worse) for leading with a stiff forearm when the clash...
