Although don't forget we have provided Chris Henry, Ian Whitten, Nevin Spence and Kyle McCall to the Ulster set up.
Don't see you having a go at Beattie though, despite his obvious bias to MCB.
I'll think you'll find I said to you 'you're almost as bais as Beattie' or something to that effect. Plus I agree with Beattie. I'm not sure you really want to start an arguement about Wallace providing players to the Ulster set up, what about Methody? PJ, Macklin, Gilroy, Marshall.
Four words: Ruck is a tube.
End of.
Chris Henry is superhuman... I think he's half cyborg
It's all good natured banter I am ridiculously biased towards Methody..when I was 15 it was a short walk from my grannies house in Tavanagh Street on a Saturday to Windsor Park to watch the Blues and then on the way home it was a pastie super at Beatties chip shop...didn't know anything about rugby or Ulster back then ( I know...don't know much about rugby now! ) but times change and now I have my next generation at Methody and it's a takeaway coffee and Pirrie Park every Saturday morning instead looking back now and I wouldn't change a thing....Beatties still do a good pastie but my dear old granny is long gone..good times
Watched a good game last Saturday at Pirrie between an MCB development squad and a South African touring side....I have never witnessed a schools team as big in my life...seriously! The visitors won 10 v 0 in a fiercely contested match and I think they went on to play Portadown College and Limavady. These lads were massive and it makes you wonder what they do differently in SA ?

The Wynberg lads do gym sessions every day and have been since they were 14.
The problem with our lads attending these city schools is there isnt enough bales of hay and straw around belfast that need shifting in the off season. They should be sent to ballynahinch for the summer
This years shield campaign underway! Almost as much hype surrounding this as schools cup campaign these days. Ulster coaches spotted at both Sullivan and Foxes Field this week. Any players standing out at this young age?

Its actually Fox's, but I suppose as it's Campbell anything goes in the grammar department
