Re: URSC Meet the Newbies Night
Great night last night.
Thanks to the URSC Committee for organising and also to the players for giving up their evening.
Great turnout of members there and the highlight of the evening for me was the comment about Nigel Owens made by Franco. (obviously the meaning changed in translation from Africaan to Ulster)

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Talking of Nigel

Wales' top rugby referee avoided penalty points for speeding after telling magistrates he was rushing to the toilet due to a medical condition.
Nigel Owens, 43, was caught doing 57mph in a 50mph zone on the M4.
Owens from Pontyberem, Carmarthenshire, appealed against his points at Swansea Magistrates' Court and was ordered to pay £205 in fines and costs.
He told the court he has a "long-standing medical condition" which requires prescription medicine.
Magistrates heard Owens, who has refereed at the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups, was driving to a referee a match in Pontypridd on 26 December 2013 when his BMW was clocked speeding.
Chairman of the bench Alun Williams told him: "After careful consideration of the evidence we have decided against placing any points on your licence due to the special circumstances."
Owens, who already has six points on his licence, appealed against the penalty points to avoid a future potential ban.
He told the court: "I have had injections to try and settle the problem... It affected the speed I was driving when I was caught over the limit."

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.

Without knowing what type, it is perhaps not helpful to speculate, but I believe that ulcerative colitis is the form you are bracketing with Crohns.
