Remember the pain you went through at Thomond, tackling your hearts out and straining every part of you in order to defend the Ulster line and create a new chapter in our history. Let's make sure that wasn't all for nothing and book a date at Twickenham.
WE'LL ALL BE PROUDLY STANDING UP FOR YOU THIS SATURDAY.
Inspirational Sport Speeches courtesy of Hollywood - has anyone got some Ulster footage to put this against - maybe re-dub it with an Norn Irish accent.
We know your hearts and souls are in this match - down to the last man. We know you will play like demons for the full 80 minutes.
You know that we're behind you all the way. We cannot go out on the pitch to play. All we can do is stand up and sing and cheer you on. We will do it to the best of our ability – 40,000 of us. Make us even prouder than we already are to say, “I’m an Ulster supporter – heart and soul!”
SUFTUM
You can despise us, you can disown us, you can even try and close us down, but you will never break us! We are ULSTER ! We are brothers! We are UN-BLOODY-BREAKABLE

My kind of messages guys.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
