Think they lost to Hogwarts & also "An Ards Select" which may have included a few from QUB & Bangor

I think the Canadian lads enjoyed the Stormont Hotel more than the rugby. Their performances an obvious nod to the quality work Anscombe did with Canada Rugby ....... when not scuttered with booze >burp >burp >burp

Not surprised they got stuffed if they played a match earlier. That's tantamount to child abuse, making kids play two matches in the same day.

If Callum Reid is back interested in playing professional rugby, then that's a huge boost for Ulster.. most talented LH Prop through Ulster system the past ten years.

Easily. Hopefully like you said,he is interested.

Aggressive, strong, lightening pace, skills and hard as nails.

Surprised that Ulster have such a small representation on the Irish U20.. did they not win the U20 interpro tournament earlier this year ?

There was no u20 tournament, there was "academy" friendlies that weren't limited by age.

Ulster will have a greater representation come 6 nations assuming those players who are injured at the moment get healthy in time and players are released by Ulster.

Most of those absentees from an Ulster perspective are either injured or in Otooles, Dalton and Halls case were either playing for the Ulster 1st XV at the time or away with Ulster 'A'.
