apart from the above a few more bits of information came out of the night

Ruan arrived in a surgical boot, rolled his ankle but should be fine for Munster (hopefully)
Alan O'Connor had a cast on his hand after landing awkwardly during a try celebration for his club side
Darren Cave had a rather large cut to his head thanks to Michael Heaney's head in a training ground accident
Michael Heaney, Michael Allen, Neil McComb, Mike McComish, Charlie Butterworth, Ricky Andrew and Sean Reidy will not be Ulster players next season.
WJ McBride is the new URSC president replacing Dr.Jack Kyle who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Finally Nick Williams was conspicuous by his absence...can't find out why,

Why in the blue feck is OConnor playing club rugby and we have Cross on the bench?

Nick was there alright ....... he was in the kitchen doing dishes all night.

(can't confirm the rumours that he licked all the plates clean)

O'Connor has groin injury...hand is fine...no more rugby this season.

Adam McBurney had the cast on his hand....injured in scoring
If only everyone had Neil McMillan's dedication....

Tevez correct with McBurney and O'Conner, my source must have had to many Heinekens, on the subject of Heineken I'm lead to believe they've signed up for 5 more years

Hmm, losing Ricky andrew, mccomish, mccomish and Heaney is a pity, hadn't heard they are away, a lot of squad depth there.

Hopefully they all got decent contracts else where.
Why? Why not?

I can clear that one up for you scrummy. Nick was told the dinner was at Sakura.

The surgical boot is a bit dramatic for a rolled ankle. Scared the living daylights out of me when I heard he was in an air cast.

That announcement should be pretty soon, wonder did we get a bit more cash since they saved several million a year in sponsoring the Supa Dupa instead of the old HEC :thumleft:

Should have given him 2 surgical boots and put him in a full body cast to keep him in 1 piece for this Saturday
