Is the average ticket price not a bit more expensive for Ravenhill than for Thomond or the horse arena?

I feel McFarland is a good coach? But perhaps not the best manager. He realised we have dogshit players, so perhaps felt the need to tighten the game plan up. He’d be a better coach with a team of internationals like Munster or Leinster, instead of a side full of thin skinned losers that currently m...

Ultimately Leinster have weaponised their natural advantages brilliantly. A couple of things are very clear: The privately...

Can’t see Benetton getting 10 points out of those fixtures if they aren’t winning this weekend at Ravenhill.

Sharks away with their springbok forwards would start as favourites.

And with Munster away and Leinster at home to come. + essentially the Italian national side this week.

We’re in deep doo doo.

Ulsters biggest issue is that for the 2nd season in a row, our backs don’t seem to be able to create a linebreak or finish tries.

Ospreys on course for a BP win.

No way we’re getting into the top 8 now. Sharks have a great chance of winning the challenge cup which means in theory we’d need to be top 7.

Has anyone yet mentioned that Cardiff have won 3 of their 18 matches this season? I think any other season in recent memory the overwhelming tone here would be that we've dropped a point against a gash Cardiff team. The relief that we didn't drop another four, despite being abysmal is a sign of whe...

Well, they lost again last night.

I have a whole seasons worth of evidence to back my claim up that Lowry is not a good defender and not solid under the high ball.

Sheridan, McCann and Lowry were all outstanding. Mcilroy had a good game and Addison. Doak was poor. Every team in the league know Stockdale is a defensive liability he proved yet again he can’t catch a high ball and worse can’t defend one on one. To his credit he has perfected the diving miss tack...

I'm in favour of getting Jared back. Also would love to see Ruan back as a skills coach - we really need to improve our skills on tonight's performance We need someone to get our backline going. All they seem to do is throw 50/50 passes and offloads and hope it comes off, which they usually don’t. ...

That feels like a bit like a robbery, but we often are on the other end so we’ll take it! Poor performance and would’ve been a disaster if we’d lost, so take the points and move on. Positives was Sheridan was excellent + unbelievable tackle from Izzy at the end. Lowry looked sharp, and Cooney made ...

Who are the 5?

Cooney
Doak
Shanahan
McDonald

Alternatives to Jones won’t feature for 2 years?

Mcnabney, Mcloughlan and Crothers have featured this season.

Jones has been having these ‘last chance’ games for at least 3 seasons now!!

He won’t be any better than winter 22/23.
