Looks like Ulster will be bringing in a new tighthead after all, BJ Botha

That'll be a great signing if its true

I wouldnt fancy packing down against him

[scrumdown]

hopefully this is the first of several quality signings! ... now for mr elsom

[LETS_GO_ULSTER]

hopefully this is the first of several quality signings! ... now for mr elsom

Leinster seem pretty sure they're about to sign Elsom

[Mad Dod]

If we get Botha, I will be immensely happy! He's an international prop and at 28 is still fairly young. As for Elsom, I'd love him to fill the 6jersey up here, but the main problem will be money (nothing new there then!!)

[pip14]

sure we've got over a million pounds to blow!

Now the big question is, were the dogs right and BBC have got information independent of the dogs, or have the BBC been reading the message board and have taken the info from what the dogs told some here, or are the whole damned lot barking mad and we have signed Anthony Foley, Denis Hickey and Reggie is our new tighthead for next year

Not just the bbc website with the article.......
Hopefully, as said above, this will be the start of new players ariving here

Big contract if so, do you think??

However it looks like planet rugby has just picked up on the beeb story...

[bogboy]

I am on record here saying I thought T Bowe was right to go given the retirement of DH and the inexperience of NoC that Ulster could be playing a forward based game for the next two years with NoC or Hallett kicking for position in the corners

we need another second row of size , maybe another prop and a long kicking full back

[pip14]

says in the belfast Telegraph that "Ulster are in the finial stages of completing the signing of World Cup winning star BJ BOTHA. He is set to be announced as Ulsters new recruitment next week and the first of Ulster's major signings. Ian Humphreys is also very close to signing"

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[moondance]

OK, he can come to Ulster as long as he brings the young lady (top left) with him!
