Pretty bad injury problems for Moore this season it seems.

He’s a class act.

What is his style, ball carrier or playmaker?
Can do both well.

I was chatting to a member of the squad over the summer and I was asking who was looking good in preseason. His reply ‘Will Addison and Stewart Moore are different level’. At this stage I didn’t know much about Addison.

Milligan and Luney both having played for Hinch this weekend. Don't think Reid has played this season, don't even know who he's with right now.

I note that Graham Curtis is finally starting to get into the starting lineup for Malone but wasn't good enough for the u20s squad. How about our talent identification at 9 eh?

I know Moore is out injured, and the Ulster U-20 age grade supposedly not as strong as the 18s and 19s, but this is pretty...well, shocking. I can't remember such a poor representation for Ulster in a 20s squad. I guess time will tell on the next 2 years grades, but this certainly flies counter to the positive spin around the Kieran & Willie show...

One of Ross Byrne, Ciaran Frawley or Harry Byrne to be at Ulster within 18 - 24 months.

At 33, I believe Sexton will try to continue to 2021, that'll be his Lions hat trick complete.

How on earth was McKee allowed to leave?

Something badly wrong with the academy if players like McKee and Rhys O'Donnell either aren't selected or went elsewhere.

Said it before but it was the right decision to let McKee go.
