Ulster in the Challenge Cup

Ruckie?

Is this in the YouTube video?

He also had an interesting theory that Quins would go fully loaded and then play the reserves in the next round.

It seemed to be at least partially based on the charming reasoning that Ulster are such a big scalp that a win would set them up for the rest of the season.

I watched Quins last week and didn't give Ulster much of a chance But then Quins change 14 players. Now if we don't win this one questions must be asked. Only danger is that we haven't had a game in a while and are usually crap after a break. With Henderson missing we may be a bit light up front but if we get parity and control the ball we should win

Anyone else getting fed up with Hendy getting broken playing for the FIRFU?

Getting fed up?

No - I got fed up with that a long time ago.

I don't begrudge Hendo his International career though - just wish he didn't keep getting broken and recovering just in time to play for Ireland again.

BOD will say this was the year the English sides rested a lot of players.

BOD won't care - he'll consider the Bic Biro as inferior competition anyway - with reason, unfortunately.

That said, you can only win what you're in, and Ulster are in a reasonable position to go for this.

Winning is a habit, and winning anything is the best way to start.

It's a superior competition to winning sweet FA though.

Win this and we're one step closer to playing LI. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/56604366

No Question - as I say, winning anything is a first step to winning lots.

If you win sweet FA, it's impossible to win a second trophy ... unless yer Scotland and finish fourth. That's a major win.

How weak is that team Dave?

Can’t you Google as quickly as Dave, Damo?

It’s similar to when we last there and won 34-10.

We can’t underestimate Quins and must stay patient if required but we should have far too much for them ...

Haha. I've watched quins a couple of times recently. I could see the main players were out but tbh haven't heard of most of their team for Sunday.

[justinr73]

Let’s hope none of the feckers make a name for themselves!

Likely quicker Justin. I internet at a high level. I assumed Dave has seen Quinns this season so best ask someone who knows.

[Dave]

I'm the know

[damianmcr]

I'm the know

Knew it

[justinr73]

Nah, that was the guy on page two who said Quins would field a second string team.
