Re: Wolfhounds at Ravers

If memory serves it may be older Cables but it was an invitational side an Irish "Baa-Baas" with a sort of charitable intention to it playing an open exhibition type of game, thus it would be in my view a very questionable choice for an irish "A " side.

Re: D Day for David Attoub and Julien Dupuy

I wonder if the press who attend the Stade game will be asked to give evidence as well it could make for a bad "hairingday" for them if they are

Re: Can Ulster make the Play Offs?

For Ulster to reach the playoffs in the Magners a number of things need to be improved firstly a more consistent performance at outhalf with penalties going into touch instead of staying in field-- more control exercised at the breakdown reducing the penalty count especially when in possession too f...

Re: Positives & Negatives: Ulster V Munster

As stated before the game a Munster pack is a Munster pack ie the sum of the pack is greater than the individuals and while we Ulster mauled them in the set piece in ruck and maul Ulster were frequently going backwards. The ref was a bit off the pace of the game and went looking for things to whistl...

Re: Ulster V Munster

Cave has a dead leg at the moment A Munster pack is a Munster pack with or without the Internationals as to whether its a weak Munster side comes down to whether you rate RoG higher than Warwick and to be honest (on his day) I believe Warwick is a much more dangerous outhalf than RoG he ( Warwick ) ...

Re: Looks like Tommy isn't coming back to us....

It is not a case whether players can or cannot achieve their potential with Ulster some do some don't but some require a change of scenery and background to continue to develop as players ie the big fish in wee pond and or big head on wee shoulders and they embrace the social life/ club politics ins...

Re: Ladyboys V Ulster Online

I agree with those who say the ref didn't cause the result bar his major miss of the forward pass for the first try by Leinster which means we don't get the bonus point . Ulster lost because they failed to exploit their chances by basic errors -- players passing the ball too soon thus failing to eng...

Re: Positives & Negatives Ladyboys V Ulster

How can you say IH was good -- in parts yes -- in others definitely not so eg when given the opportunity to (penalty ) to put the game into the Leinster 22 he failed to find touch ( not for the first time this season) and why kick long and deep into the Leinster half at possibly the best returning f...

Re: Ladyboys V Ulster Online

As usual the ref was a mite blind and rightly on the end of some stick not for what he blew the whistle for but for the things he failed to penalise the most obvious being the forward pass for the first try. Some day refs will wake-up to Cullen who has acquired the Leciester second row art of being ...

Re: 6 Months for Dupuy...does the time fit the crime?

Some poeple never realise when they are winning Dupuy is appealing the decision does he not realise he could have got 24 weeks for the first offence and 24 weeks for the second Attoub's from the photos looks an even more dangerous offence and would explain the attitude to both the photos and Dupuy's...

Re: Amblin' towards the Amlin?

I have seen nothing in the last month that would convince me we are certain to beat Edinburgh at home and/or Bath away. Edinburgh at the moment have the measure of Ulster ie defend and frustrate- keep the game in the Ulster half-- wait for the penalties and while Bath are no great shakes they are ca...
